Looks to be tied down to the carrier very tightly. That's all. But we can always hope.

Carriers use racheting chain tie downs that have a tremendous amount of downforce.

I didn't think anyone would even mention that, it seems so obvious that it would be the tie-downs.

Definitely just the tiedowns. Next time you're on the highway and you pass a semi carrying new cars just look how low all of them are. It's because they have them ratcheted down very tight to keep them from bouncing.

These pictures are mainstream now. Even national pubs are publishing them now. Time to move onto the next conspiracy. :rolleyes:

I'm sure you're right - it's the only way to get them off a standard carrier without damage. Easy to change, though! :smash:
