Bonus! No headlights needed at night as you bask in the healthy green glow!
On a serious note: Wow, that sucks.

I would have that rx7 motor swapped before it even touched US soil.

Pretty wild, the earth will eventually reclaim all of that.

This reminds me of one of my favorite episodes of Top Gear. It's fascinating to see the emptiness and decay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf6ON6pbDDA

Apparently they don't really like convertibles.

Thats both amazing and very sad.
on a side note, i believe just this morning(yesterday in japan?) they found some of the nuclear waste theyve been looking for in the water near the plant, so that will help aid the clean up

For those, like myself, who were less-informed:

However, the tsunami destroyed the emergency generators that would have provided power to cool the reactors. The insufficient cooling led to three nuclear meltdowns, hydrogen-air chemical explosions, and the release of radioactive material in Units 1, 2 and 3 from 12 March to 15 March. Loss of cooling also caused the pool for storing spent fuel from Reactor 4 to overheat on 15 March due to the decay heat from the fuel rods.

Which ultimately led to a full-blown evacuation of the area & all affected contents.
It's pretty crushing to put yourself in those people's shoes, knowing that not only are you now going to prematurely die of a radiation-related cancer, but that you've had to leave your home, possessions & "pride-&-joy" project behind never to see or enjoy them again for the remainder of your now shortened life.
