Q:Here is my initial over arching question, and I realize the question is too general to nail down but....generally speaking, what is it like to own/drive one of these cars?

A: I just bought my ERA from a gent a little over a year ago and it has been awesome. I never had a convertible before and its just amazing when the sun is shining.

Q: Can there be a reasonable expectation of reliability, comfort, performance, practicality, etc?

A: Yes, but depends somewhat on what you build. I have a 427 pushed to 468 CID and have had no engine issues except for a starter.

Q: Is it terrible once the trip goes past 100 miles, or is it a cross country type ride? In between?

A: I have not had any discomfort except for the sweat on my back with the leather black seats. I like to get in at least 50-100 miles when I have been out. I will take some longer trips this summer.

If its sunny and above freezing, I often go out.
