Default Saw a new GT-R at work



I talked to the guy for a few minutes, he has a performance shop in Garland, Texas that works mostly on FI. I recognized right before I asked if it was his and remember talking to him previously. He also has a real nice looking supra that he drives daily. Its a sweet looking car. I really wanted to ask him about launch control and if he had used it or anything, but work was getting busy and ran out of time.

No, I live and work in Grand Prairie. I dont know why he is shopping down this way, but this is not the first time he has bought from me. I once loaded a big shelf with individual trays in his car. We stuffed a seven foot tall box (2x2x7) into his supra I never thought that would fit in there.

Meh...overpriced, not built to withstand it's own capabilities, PITA to maintain (have any of you read about the cost of regular maintenance on these?). I'm not impressed by those. No thanks.
