Message	Also I took that from a discussion from another forum on why some shops fail. This was in regard to the GTR where the owners throw money at a problem until its fixed or they owe 250k. The Z community compared to the Supra GTR Porsche community is cheap. The cars are cheap and spending the purchase price of a car on maintenance in some cases is beyond most people. The Z32 is one of the serious Japanese performance cars that is revered by owners of four-cylinder front-drivers, and one way that opinions on cars will always fall is that looking "cool" is nowhere near as good as looking -niiiccceee-.
