Possibly late arrival of 370Z's to US shores?
I saw this really recent article just today and this seems to be the Nissan/ Infiniti's shipping yard.
if these vehicles were about to be shipped to US shores, and since most of them are destroyed, does this mean a delay of arrival for people who ordered there Nissans and Infinitis? |

I would say absolutely there will be a delay. If your car was destroyed on the loading docks it is going to have to go back into queue to be built again.

haha I agree with that too
what's with all these natural disasters? theres a tsunami warning in Honolulu and a huge storm in Cali? What would they do with these destroyed or totaled vehicles? would they ever fix it back and sell it back but not tell us that it was once destroyed at the shipping yard at Japan? |

^ no, nissan probably insured them so they'll collect damages on it, scrap as necessary, and build new ones. if they do sell, it would be 3rd party salvage title.
and you DO realize the tsunami warning in honolulu was tied to the earthquake off the Japanese shores, right? and i haven't heard any huge storm in cali...it's nice and sunny here. |

yeah I realize that but it's just the fact cali is also gettin a storm.
Idk I just heard it today and I googled "Storm in California" and it pops up a lot of things about "megatorm" and other stuff in southern Cali. maybe just stupid rumors. |

Yeah, in all honesty i wouldn't expect anything to leave japan for a while, for most stuff, wheels, electronics, etc... they have bigger things to worry about right now. So if you need anything that at some point gets imported and what not i would suggest buying sooner then later...just incase
