Actually, a ship loaded with Mercedes did go to the bottom a few years ago. I forget the details but I'm pretty sure it was in the North Atlantic. I remember seeing a forum post on one of the other sites from someone who had a car on that ship. Most likely cause of this kind of disater is a poorly tied down load that shifts during a storm. Once that happens it is only a matter of time .....
