My ERA was delivered to me in Denver on a Monday. On Wednesday I left for Portland and arrived that Friday. The car had 40 miles on it when I received it and 1393 when I arrived in Portland. Not so much as a hiccup in the three days and travelling a highway speeds for all but the briefest periods.
4300 miles now after a pretty wet winter and looking forward to a bunch more. I try to avoid driving during active rain simply because it takes so long to clean everything up afterwards.
All I've done is
oil changes and a couple of changes that I wanted not that were needed for the car to run.
Reliability is not a concern for me.
