The World’s Most Expensive Car Hauler | The Truth About Cars
This cracks me up. The USS Ronald Reagan had to go from San Diego to Washington to have some work done, so they saved some expense by shipping the sailors' cars on the flight deck! If you assume approximately 1,000 cars being transported for three days, then the cost per car would be roughly $10,000. Now, since the carrier had to make the trip anyway, I'm not going to waste time talking about excessive government spending, yadda-yadda-yadda. It's just fun to think about a load price of $10,000 per car. Which you'd pretty much have to get to make the payments on the most expensive car hauler ever built! According to the article in the link above, the aircraft carrier will set you back between 4.3 and 6 billion-with-a-b dollars. A new Cottrell stinger costs slightly less.
