    It's not.....the sound you heard was probably a $25K carbon fiber underbody panel cracking. There is about $75k worth of the stuff underneath.....and that number is at parts department prices. I'd also wonder about the clutch as well....sounds like he was slipping it....and they're $25K to replace and have been known to go in situations just like this. I know of one personally that blew getting loaded.......

    If you have ever seen Porsche unload one of these they use a fully flat elevator truck....no ramps at all.

    Real rocket scientist trying to load that car! Well done! Probably cost him his business trying to pay for the repairs to that car!

    That was Ray Catena's car and the damage amounted to just over $20k.

    $400,000 car and they use 2x12s to load it. Nuff said.

    Sucks for Ray...or whoever ended up having to cough up that $20k repair bill! They should have seen that one coming though!
