Thoughts and Prayers for Japan

While viewing the extensive news coverage on the disaster taking hold in Japan right now, I think it is only necessary to place the inflicted people in our prayers. Things can happen in a moments notice that drastically change our live forever, and I believe thousands of Japanese (and a few American's on the west coast) need our support and prayers to get them through this trying time.

From an automotive stand point (since this is an Auto Blog) this will have a serious impact on Japan's manufacturing capabilities for a time. I can only imagine that dealerships in this country will be faced with a shortage of new vehicle stock, as well as components to repair vehicles currently on the road. Considering many manufacturers use Japanese components in their products, we will see problems arise for many companies in keeping up with consumer demand. Be patient and remember the rough time that the Japanese people are going through right now.
