Message	Hi Greg, What Carlos Ramirez said is exactly my thoughts. No you but Nissan that sells so expensive for something like o-rings. I never meant to knock on SpecialtyZ. I know you don't know me or remember me from the one time I brought my Z to you guys but I have much respect for everybody at SpecialtyZ and truly appreciate what you guys bring and contribute to the Z community. Either way, I'll probably be giving you guys a call shortly to do a little shopping. The last two paragraphs you wrote really hit me where it hurts. Not sure if it makes sense saying this but I'll feel pretty good emptying my wallet this month at SpecialtyZ than any other place. Even if its for O-rings.
