ERA vs. Unique

I think that the real fear here is that I'll wind up arriving at a Shelby Inc. copy of the 60's Cobra--and that just really irritates me to no end!

Where the hell is New Britain CT, anyway?! Mayquest here I come!

When I first started looking, I was going to get a Factory 5. I ended up with an ERA

Hey--when I first started out, I didn't even realize the importance of having a more exacting replication--I thought that if it wasn't real, it didn't matter if it was more of a hot rod than a replica...but then it started mattering to me. This has been a really enlightening research process and I don't really expect that I'll ever arrive at a place where I'm satisfied with the choice I've made if it isn't a real 60's Cobra.

Back to reality, though, and facing the fact that I may not ever be able to convince the wifey that investing in a real 60's Cobra would be a good investment. My partnership with her is much more important than a car or an investment opportunity if she never understands or feels comfortable with a 'risk' like that, as she sees it. Thank God I realize that she's more important than this investment! Life would really be turned upside down and surely be sucking if I didn't understand this!
