Save your money if that is your attitude. Just kidding
But really, don't let geography limit your choices or you may end up unsatisfied in the end. It would cost you around $1600 to have a car shipped in an enclosed trailer from the northeast corner of the country. A small price for the car of your dreams! Use this board to search out people's comments about manufacturers & recommendations. There are so many options out there with varying degrees of quality & accuracy. Decide what you want concerning accuracy, what you are going to use the car for(shows?Racing?Weekend Cruising?)& how much you are willing pay. Many people are buying cars right now inststead of building them because of the weakness of the market. Good luck!!!
