I spent $3k last year alone on the 2, and that was just bits and pieces...though not all of that was fixing it.

bought my supra 3 years ago, since then, i've had a couple of minor things like gaskets and shit, blew two turbos, 2.5g's worth of bhg, as it took the head with it, blew the first turbo then, and damaged numerous other things. on my third gear box at the moment, which i'm selling, and upgrading motor and trans. so yeah, not cheep...
