I finally got ahold of my best friend who lives in Japan and he is fine as is his family. He is now living in Tokyo and not traveling as much.

That is great to hear. How is the public Tokyo handling everything?

He told me that it is very sad and people are very spooked. His elder family was close enough to feel the power of the quake.

Wow. Freaky.

Sean have you heard differently about the radiation? From my understanding it's not as bas as the media is putting out... but with the fire recently I read quite a bit escaped....

They are just so effed over there right now.

He also told me he was on Shikoku-island when it all happened.

Sean have you ever worked with nagase co?

Benefits to purchasing a different vehicle:

Better MPG

Overall, wont have to fear to drive it (feel like it will break down)

insurance goes down

maintence IS A big thing. (clutch replacement is 1200) AND mitsubishi only warrenties there clutches for 12k miles.

Figured if it were one of your friends they'd be splattered

****'s why I drive a 96 Ford Escort 5 speed (32mpg and cheap/easy to fix myself FTW). Big pimpin' fa sho. I drive the Bronco when I wanna have fun and/or feel like I can afford to buy gas (11mpg FTL)

You should weigh your true costs.

Buying - selling + maintenance + insurance + gas and then make the decision. At some point a more fun car is worth it, at others it isn't at all.

ALSO, it will be paid off so no montly car bills..

[Mac N Cheese 90]

Thing is i am only 19.. so purchasing a fun vehicle can wait untill my driving record is cleared..

[Mac N Cheese 90]

Main reason for selling is because of the accident i was in with my dads 350z. NOW my insurance is driving up everyones in my family

[dem beats 1,223]

last I heard it was 821 mrem/hr at the site boundary; considering that anything about background levels at the site boundary is usually a cause for alarm, its quite troubling. Even my father, with 20+ in the industry, said "holy shit!" when he heard the radiation levels

[dem beats 1,223]

or a mini pickup. I would suggest an f150 but insurance may kick your ass on that one too.

Thankfully all of the reactors are completely shut down; the problem now is dissipating the residual heat from the reactor vessels

[dem beats 1,223]

affordable realistic cars because I'm young and fast TOP

God knows I paid my dues for youthfull indescressions.

[dem beats 1,223]

I know nothing about radiation Peng so thanks.

stopped at a crappy chinease buffet for lunch as I had to travel today and it's just a block away from my location.

It's so wild how this place can be the healthiest and least healthy place to eat depending on choices. It's also cheep as hell.

I watch fatty office people slam noodles and sugary sauced fried foods... then a group of laborers eating a billion shrimp and piles of vegis.

cracks me up.
