TButtrick is a master of deduction. Yes: that is Fastd's car pictured above.

Beretta92: You will find that the time on your trip just flies by. I was up ERA 3 times before I bought my car in the aftermarket recently. Peter, Bob, Doug, Rob and others were all very hospitable; they made the time, entertained all my dumb questions patiently, gave me the tour while I lusted after every single car. It was helpful for me to see a bunch of car altogether because after scanning the internet for a long time to figure out what I liked and didn't like I got up there and saw them all in person. I realized that I liked every single one! For example, little stuff like: I thought I needed only Smith guages, but the Stewart Warners look great also! And so on and so on. The biggest questions for me boiled down to color, big block vs small block (and for me undercar exhaust). Last bit of advice: if you really want one and can afford it (new or used), don't torture yourself, just shop and enjoy.

By the way, the ride home flies by because the visit is so satisfying.
