Thought this thread is about sympathy for people that died in Japan, instead it's about if the car is damaged !!

You're in the wrong place. The one about people is here:
Earthquake japan

This thread and a few others are about people worrying about their newly ordered cars or JDM parts.

Read my mind exactly... I know there is the other thread in regards to the missing and/or deceased people who live there but man, in hindsight, a damaged 370z is NOTHING compared to the catastrophic damage that has taken place.

Like my local weather guy said... it's funny how we were all worried about some rivers and streams flooding because of ice jams and then to see the damage done to Japan, really puts things into perspective.

Just my

PS. If your 370z did get damaged and causes you a delay, I do feel bad. Plus, I'm not sure why you had to order one from Japan anyway... there are left over 370z everywhere.

a hundred or so are already here..but they were all built in December and January ...

my car is a black edition which were supposed to be built this week... no idea if it was or not... one one hand i hope it wasnt and it wasnt sitting at port ..but on the other hand if it wasnt built... God knows when it will be now...

so no real good outcome...unless it was built but still at the factory..... even then with the ports messed up

i have no expectation of getting it in May now like i was supposed to

Time to ask for a free extended warranty or something in compensation for your wait.

I doubt they would care much about your personal situation. I guess that is my angle.

Thats the attitude that got America in the situation that it's in. The only way out of it is a country act on a whole. Selfishness

Ah.

You can bet the personal suffering the Japanese are experiencing is going to have global effects. Such a disaster over there. Obviously personal safety and security are going to come before business is restored, and businesses that support the local economy are going to come before exports.

I don't think we'll see much coming out of Japan for awhile. We'll see a lot going in (aid, rescue support, etc).

Having lived in California my whole life, I have known this sort of earthquake disaster is possible here too. They also get the bonus of tsunami. I have tremendous sympathy for the folks of Japan. The tsunami here was four feet of tidal changes over a few minutes. Interesting but not dangerous.

Nissan, Toyota, Honda, have all shut down production to assess damage. Since 370's are made in Japan, anyone thinking about buying one might consider pulling the trigger.
