4,700 Mazdas on board......
The Singapore-registered Cougar Ace, carrying nearly 5,000 vehicles, had sent out an SOS Sunday at 11:09 p.m. The 654-foot vessel had begun to list and was taking on water, according to the Coast Guard. By midafternoon Monday, the Coast Guard reported that the ship was listing to 90 degrees, almost flat on its side in the sea.

While I like body of the Pininfarina bodied Enzo, the white 'snorkel' exhausts look so out of place on that car. More like something you'd see on an MR2 - but certainly not an Italian exotic.

I like the Enzo, but the whole process was somewhat of a shock. I agree with masraum, and think perhaps the owner of this one of a kind was of like mind.
