Ютюб сувгийн хөтлөгч Брэнт Ривера Лос-Анжелес боомтын орчмоос 20,000 ам.доллараар худалдаж авсан орхигдсон чингэлгээс Polaris Slingshot гурван дугуйт автомашиныг олж илрүүлсэн байна.
Брэнт Ривера болон түүний нөхөд далайд хаягдсан чингэлгийг олж, эзэмшигчтэй нь тохиролцсоны үндсэн дээр 20,000 ам.доллараар худалдан авчээ. Чингэлгийн дотроос төрөл бүрийн цахилгаан бараа, робот болон бусад эд зүйлс олдсон бөгөөд хамгийн гол олдвор нь маш сайн хадгалагдсан, бүрэн бүтэн Polaris Slingshot байв.
Ойролцоогоор 50,000 ам.долларын үнэлгээтэй энэхүү гурван дугуйт тээврийн хэрэгсэл нь ямар нэгэн гэмтэлгүй байсан нь олны гайхшралыг төрүүлсэн байна. Брэнт Ривера уг автомашиныг маш сайн нөхцөлд хадгалагдсаныг онцлон тэмдэглэжээ.
2025 онд дэлхий даяар тээвэрлэгдсэн 280 сая чингэлгийн 1,478 нь далайд алдагдсан гэсэн тоо баримт байдаг. Эдгээр эрсдэлтэй ачааны дундаас ийнхүү өндөр үнэтэй автомашин олдож байгаа нь ховор тохиолдол юм.

When this California man splashed out $20,000 on an abandoned shipping container, he knew he was taking a big risk – but a high-end vehicle sitting inside made it worthwhile.
YouTuber Brent Rivera and his friends had located a lost shipping container near the Port of Los Angeles.
Hoping they could make some money off what was inside, they set out to acquire it.
What they found inside would leave them stunned.
A lot of surprises can dwell inside of a shipping container
Approximately 1,478 shipping containers were lost at sea in 2025, out of the 280 million transported globally.
While that’s a small slice of the overall sum, that still represents more than 1,000 containers that never made it to their intended destination.
It makes you wonder about what was inside each of them.
As we’ve seen countless of times, shipping containers can be full of surprises.
One man discovered the last Tesla Roadsters, which had been lost for 13 years.
For another man, it was a Porsche 911 that was lurking behind the steely doors.
And it was a cathartic moment for these two Chevrolet owners when they were reunited with trucks that had gone missing at sea for two years.
Would YouTuber Brent Rivera and his buddies be so lucky when they got their hands on an abandoned shipping container?
Could this California man turn a profit with what he found in the Port of Los Angeles?
The shipping container was from ‘Tulip Shipping Company’ and was partially submerged near the shoreline, having likely washed up after a storm.
But before Rivera and his pals could get into the nitty gritty, the dock owner interrupted them for trespassing.
They managed to strike a deal with him, buying the container outright for $20,000.
“This shipping container could be worth millions. But if whatever’s inside got damaged, it could also be worth nothing,” Rivera reflected.
It was a gamble, but it was one he was willing to take a chance on.
It’s fair to say that the container had its fair share of odd items inside.
Here’s what was inside the container
There was an empty wooden coffin, live fireworks, and even a marked box full of venomous snakes.
As Indiana Jones once said, ‘Snakes…why’d it have to be snakes?’
But alongside the weird was the wonderful – a functioning humanoid robot capable of dance and kung-fu moves, a robot dog, and an electric surfboard.
Now that we think about, all of those are pretty weird too.
Dozens of water-resistant iPhones were also stowed inside, alongside a whole array of tech goodies from MacBooks to PlayStation 5s.
Throw in some Louis Vuitton sunglasses and sealed Pokémon cards, and you’re looking at a very good payday.
But then came the ultimate prize.
This car made everything worthwhile
At the very back of the container was a fully intact Polaris Slingshot, valued at around $50,000.
“This is someone’s car and they kept it in perfect condition,” Rivera gushed.
“This is so sick. I didn’t realize this was like a three-wheeled car. Dude, what? There’s one wheel in the back.”
It had held up beautifully, and the guys looked happy as clams to be driving off in it.
Wouldn’t you?
