I think I found an easier way to ship cars

Getting cars home and getting cars to Europe is such a pain, I think I found the solution!

Looks like an amped up version of the vacuum bags that my wife uses for clothes

Resale value might take a hit though.

You wouldn’t need to insure it this way, so that’s a plus.

This is more inconvenient since the cube does not roll, yet still weighs the same.

Where's Oddjob? Very cool - but it's an idea that's at least 55 years old. Am I the only one here who remembers this scene from Goldfinger in 1964?

It didn't make it into the video, but in the movie they also grabbed the cube with a large electromagnet. And dropped it into a cool Ford Ranchero:

There’s a great documentary on Goldfinger where they talk about crushing the car. The crew were in shock and just couldn’t believe they had really just destroyed it.

If you look closely, the engine was not in the car.
Course, Ford supplied the cars, product placement was very noticeable
