Maybe you are trying a little too hard as well, ERA calls it a kit so that's what you have, regardless of what you think "kit" means. |

A kit means in unassembled form. Once it's assembled, it's a replica of the original car manufactured in the 1960's. ERA calls it a kit because that's what it is, it's in pieces. They don't call their roller or turn key car a kit because it's assembled.

I try not to get offended, I try to educate people to the fact less than 1,000 were ever made. It's just such an iconic car, people just don't know. When asked if mine is original, I respond, "No, it's a Factory Five Racing Replica that I built in my garage." Oh sure every now and then I'll run into "that" nimrod, but I have to say its been few an far between.

I don't mind the Kit question so much and I usually respond that it is a Factory Five Replica that I built, but when they ask "what chassis / frame is it?" my enthusiasm drops. Some even say "Oh yeah, is that a Mustang II?" then I really start getting agitated.  |

I've been asked "Is that a Corvette?" more times than I can remember. |

Our club had a cruise last month and about 6 of us were parked at the gas station filling up before we started. A lady in the convenience store asked if we were the "Buick Club???"  |

I was asked by a gas station attendant years ago if it was an "MG" while his polyester pants were melting/burning because he was standing too close to the side pipe.
True story.
