you know what, your post is very true. I'd like to learn how to fix up my own car but I have no experience at the moment. I was only looking into getting a 300zx because I've seen a few around and the ones I have seen were spectacular (looking) rides. I'm sure they are good fun to drive too but yeh, if they require me to shell out 800 bucks for servicing every three months they are a bit out of my league.
