Default IS-F gets loaded on a trailer incorrectly

My friend Brooke sent me this video.
A sad day.
Hope the future owner files a claim on the transport company.

This was my biggest fear when buying my car. I originally left a deposit on a car in Jacksonville and I was really scared to ship it. Fortunately I ended up finding my current car close enough to me that I could drive it home.

Hard to look at, for sure! I would be pissed if that was my car. The tower should've known better well before hearing the scraping.

ugh
that grinding sound is going to give me nightmares

here is the proper platform truck you need for loading exotic cars that are low to the ground (i took this photo in Taipei, Taiwan last month outside Ferrari & Maserati's service center)
notice how the whole platform comes down to create a more gradual angle?
