Its even funnier when you think about parking on your driveway and driving on the parkway.

It's just a warehouse in which you store your goodies until you're really ready to bring them into the country. It's like they arrive and you're not sure you need them just yet and also you don't want to pay duty for all the items at once so you take only the few you need at a time and pay less duty that way... get the picture?

I get the analogy and I love it!!!!    All the parts for the Porsche were already somewhere in the junkyard.......it was just a series of chance happenings that lead to it all being put together perfectly, that sounds very logical......... :)  once again love the question!!!

Why do they call them stands if you sit in them? Why do you park in a driveway, but drive on a parkway? Why is a package delivered by a car called a shipment but when it's delivered by a ship is called cargo? Why is it called a television set if you only get one? Why do people sing Take Me out to the Ballgame when they are already there?

Cargo is from the Spanish word cargar which means to load. \nAlso, in the past good were mainly transported by a ship so its called shipment.

At sea it is called an 'UnRep' - Underway Replenishment.  It's a really awesome thing to be part of with big ships, at least the first couple of times.  A lot of work.\n\nThere's these big supply ships that also contain huge amounts of fuel.  They'll pull alongside the ship to be replenished and - using rifles!- they will fire small ropes (Navy-types call ropes 'lines') across to the ship and those ropes will be used to haul very large, heavy duty ropes across and the ships will tie off to one another to help keep them aligned during the fueling process.  That way they don't accidently drift too far apart and tear apart the fuel hoses.  Next they haul across the fuel hoses, large fuel hoses, and connect them to the ships fuel tanks and start pumping!  It takes some time, and all the while helicopters will be busy hauling cargo nets full of groceries, repair parts, general supply items, and mail from the supply ship to the UnRep subject ship.  Any crew or embarked troops (Marines) who don't have an assigned task will line the walkways of the ship and like a bucket-brigade pass the supplies and stuff the helicopters are bringing, one item at a time, hand to hand, to the area it needs to go - mail to the mail room, groceries to the galley, supplies to the supply room, repair parts to the maintenance office.\n\nWhen they're finished they hoist back the fuel lines, release the ropes, and the next ship in the group takes its place alongside the supply vessel.

It took me a while to realize that you are talking about something for your car...

I've seen and read about a number of ship lauchings, and never heard of this one! Where did you hear this?

I don't know where they are based out of. Interesting that you saw that many vehicles in one day though. Curious.

I would say that it means transporting something from one place to another without permission, or possibly without legal authority to do so.  Like smuggling.
