Good evening, Veeky Forums. Would you like a behind-the-scenes look at the ships that carry cars across the ocean? Would you care to find out what goes into getting your JDM-tyte car from Glorious Nippon to 'Murica?
I also have pictures of the first Kia Stingers to be imported to the United States; KDM models destined for Kia showrooms.

how do i get your job?
And to prove I'm not bluffing.
post more pictures faggot
My job specifically? You go to one of the various maritime academies for four years, graduate with a degree, and then sit for a USCG license. Then, you join one of the 3 maritime officer unions in the country and sit in a job hall until you get lucky. I was VERY lucky; I got a job after just over a month after I got my license.
how hard do you drive the cars? can I assume the 8 miles on the odometer has some red lining in it?
...
nice trips
where are these cars being dropped at?
What do you mean kdm models? Are they not able to be sold because of that, just to look at?
We don't actually drive any of the cars; the longshoremen do. Ship's crew just watch them to make sure they don't damage anything. That said, yeah, they get driven fast to load fast. Particularly in Korea; I'll post a few videos of that later on.
Also, modern cars do have a "transport mode" which disables the odometer and stereo system so that normies don't reee their heads off at the normal distance you have to drive cars on/off the ships. Some yards are farther away from the ships than others.
