Some may or may not agree with a few other observations I've noted about these cars and their related types of owners...

- Many SPF onwers tend to be more of the "buy it and drive it", gotta have it now type of owner/driver. They seem to totally enjoy it to the fullest, while they own it, with a key focus on immediate value. Ownership tends to be less than 3 years in most cases, and then they move on to some other type of hobby or interest.

- Most ERA owners seem to have a first interest in building cars, and a passion for working on and customizing cars as a general interest. Meaning they've built other cars before their ERA. Driving and enjoyment is seen as a second benefit of the first. Majority ownership tends to be greater than 4 years; especially if the person built and customized it to their specific tastes.

BOTH ARE GREAT CARS and these are just one person's observations and opinions.
