Vice City Car Carrier?
If you go to the docks, there is a car carrier which you can drive around. I thought that you would be able to carry cars on it, but when you drive away, the cars just roll down (as if they are not moving relative to the ground). Is there anyway to use the car carrier, or is it just a tease?

Kellehair said it. It really just functions as mobile ramp.
Strangely enough, though my first reaction was to use it as a jump, I've been thinking about trying to carry a car around on it.

Finally pushed a car up onto the carrier sideways. Even tried laying a bike down behind it.
Guess what, you still can't carry it around. Apparently GTA's physics engine doesn't account for friction. The objects are "parked" and there's no outside force working to move them in a horizontal motion. Thus, they simply slide up and off the ramp, no matter what you do.
