And you're sitting comfortably in your chair posting up your misfortune. Wat you're experincing is a little bad luck, not a misfortune.

Why do you think that might that be?

Just sayin...

Anyway, I'm done.

It's always funny to me how people love to play the "holier-than-thou" card in these situations. Yes, it is sad that Japan has been struck with such a tragedy, but the OP obviously doesn't mean disrespect to anyone in his post.

I bet if either of your cars were delayed, you guys would be disappointed as well. I know I would be. It's not a reflection of a lack of care for those affected by the tragedy at all.
