Message	Just looking for opinions here. You can see my mods in my profile. My Z has about 230,000 miles on the chassis, but around 90,000 on the engine/turbos/tranny. Ive decided that no matter how much I love the Z, that putting money into something with that many miles is not worth it. I say putting money into it, since a person decided they liked my lane better then their oncoming lane, and I had to swerve into a brick wall, but thankfully, the other driver was lucky enough to be able to swerve across again, and get back in their lane. So the drivers side fender, and fascia is messed up. I all ready bought a fender, and the front bumper support for the fascia. You guys/gals think that just doing the "cash for clunkers", which could net around 4500, would be better vs just parting it out? TIA
