No more land? Rent a ship to park unsold cars

27 February 2009 3 Comments

I already posted some unique places car companies were storing unsold cars but Toyota in Swedan has accumulated so many cars that it no longer has room in its 12,500 car lot. The situation is so bad that Toyota has effectively run out of land to park cars on. The overflowing lots have forced Toyota to rent a ship to store nearly 2,500 unsold cars. [Jalopnik]
