Has anyone considered building a car transporter thats to scale with the

I have made my own supercars (sorry I haven't made a good website for
them yet), including a Honda CRX, a Honda NSX, and a McLaren F1 LM
Roadcar. These are all approximately to the scale of Lego's supercars,
although the McLaren somehow suctioned up all the pieces of three 8880's
and one 8448, and who knows what other sets.  From having these cars
lined up end-to-end, I don't think it's possible to build a lego
transporter for two reasons: 1) there aren't wheels big or strong
enough, and 2) all the weight of the cars is too much for lego parts to
bear without extensive (and ugly) bracing.  Plus, the transporter would
span the length of a couple meters, at least.
