At 28, it's hard to wait for what you want. But, if you get something that has "most of what you want," and this little game we all play turns out to be your lifelong hobby, then you'll eventually sell it and have to do it all over again, because the car just doesn't have everything you want. OTOH, if you can manage to hold out for a year, then the car you have built will have every little bolt, adjustment, tweak, and option designed just for you, and you will likely keep that car for the rest of your life. I had roughly 25 years to think about how I wanted ERA-732 to look, feel, and what special options I needed and wanted. If I had to go back and change something on the build, I wouldn't change a single thing.
