HINT: It will take longer than you think and cost more than you expect, but the result will be better than you can possibly imagine.  |

Spoke to Peter yesterday and was very impressed with his honesty.
He flat told me if I am 6' 3" and i want comfort their car isnt for me. He didnt want to sell me out of the idea of a ERA car but he also wanted to be as forthcoming as possible. Very impressed nonetheless
Since I live South of Tampa the logical choice is backdraft. Locality and its generally considered a bigger car that will better accomodate my frame.
I plan to drive over to the east coast and sit in a few just to see how I physically fit.
EM requires 50 percent down which concerns me once I get close to building my car. Backdraft requires $5000 ....
