So japan had a natural diaster. And oh everyone wants to help. I can care less about japans needs and asking for help. Where were the donations for the Katrina victims here in new Orleans. Oh wait there was none! I lost everything to Katrina. House, boat, car,truck, all personal belongings and relative family members. Where was our help. All we were given was a bus ticket to go sleep in a stadium in another state. 3 waters and 3 mre were distributed to mywife, kid and I. When disaster happens to us Americans it's always poor thing them. I hope they all are ok. But when disaster happens to another country let's spend millions on them to help them out. What about using American tax money on Americans. Hell it's our money anyway shouldn't we use it to help ourselves out!

it wasnt a lack of people wanting to help that ruined relief efforts in Katrina, it was red tape and people in charge who had no plans, or organizational skills.

My fathers business was involved with the process of getting MRE's to Katrina victims in NO after the disaster, we only managed to get 2 trucks out before we werent allowed to send more due to excuses like Congestion and lack of organization/planning for where they were going to go.

My friend runs his own trucking company and he was trying to send trucks with donated items down but was not allowed due to similar reasons. It was a huge cluster F*(k and the people in charge couldnt get it organized for relief to get there.

but then also look on the flip side, (yourself excluded from this) but there are many a story of Katrina victims taking advantage of relief efforts / funding such as buying ridiculous items. They were spending there money on non essentials. Alot of people were faking being katrina victims to get in on the funds too.

So, sorry you went through that man, my neighbor fled from there as well and they lost everything including 2 kids. But just dont think that people didnt care or didnt try to help. There is a system in place and thats what failed. So dont let that stop you from trying to help others who could now use the help.

Tochigi is above Tokyo by a bit, so probably looking at 10x normal radiation in that area. Still, not exactly the health hazard / crisis everybody is freaking out over yet.

Looks like the coolant system should be back in operation so hopefully only trace amounts of radiation from here on out...

even if they were to be shipped would any residual radiation residue be on them?

i have spoken with Nissan Canada about fallout and car being contaminated....and tryed to cancel my order...also found a new 370z roadster same as what i ordered at a different dealer and told my dealer i would take it...this is what they said!

Please be assured that Nissan and its dealerships strive to serve the needs of their customers by offering a superior level of customer service.



As we were not a part of the discussions/agreement that you have with the dealership, it is difficult for us to comment on the matter and we are not in a position to attempt to broker a resolution until such time as there appears to be an impasse. While we have documented the situation in our files, we would recommend that you contact the appropriate management personnel at the dealership, as they would be in the best position to address the situation and offer comment.





Sincerely yours,






Consumer Relations Representative

Nissan Canada Inc.

so no help at all from Nissan Canada...even when trying to buy a car that they can get for me....this is just pure greed from the dealer that sold me a car that they cant deliver!
