I like ERA's, but did not want to wait months/years. I had a deadline to meet in order to make the 2005 Vintage GP in Watkins Glen.
I ordered a custom color car to my specs and am thrilled with it. SPF's are great. Especially for what I use it for. Driving.
Hey, these are just toys with no investment potential anyway.
On the other side of the coin I almost bought an original. At the time it was the top of the market, and would have lost even more money on that........so I am Driving For Free!
