If you or anyone else believes for a second that anyone cares more about a car than a person then that is sad. There are many venues to discuss the disaster and its human impact. This forum is for discussion largely about 370Zs. Oh, and by the way before anyone jumps all over me. My Mother's side of the family lives in Mutsu, Japan Ground Zero for the Earthquake/Tsunami.

Let me put it this way. We can broadly differentiate betwen three categories of response to this disaster by folks here:
(1) Nothing. Whatever they are thinking or feeling is unknown.
(2) Took the time and effort to make a post expressing thier hopes and prayers for a bunch of strangers.
(3) Took the time and effort to express their fears about the possiblity of not getting their car or car parts on time as a result of the disaster.
Do I know if down deep the people in any of those categories really cares about the value of human life? No. But I can respond to what I see.
I thanked those who expressed concern and admonished those who didn't.
What would you do if someone attending a funeral made one comment only: That having to show up for the funeral totally ruined their plans for the day?
Would you assume inside they must be grieving or be utterly apalled by their self-centered comments?
Whatever, man.
Like I said if anyone feels compassion for the people of Japan, they can donate to red cross -- actions are more important than words anyway.
I sincerely hope your family is safe and well.
