  I agree completely - I looked for a long time for a car like Asa Jay's
  (SN5533) --A  I wanted a car that was original, but driven, maintained,
  and
  not something I would feel the urge to "restore" and stick in a garage.
  And, the poor thing, SN5533 is really getting abused now....Things will
  break, will need to be repaired, and will break again.A  The car is
  showing
  up to the vintage races in street legal form, with its license plate
  and
  insurance current.A  We drive it to the gas station for gas between
  sessions.A  Then drive the crap out of in the races.
  The number 1 response from people:A  "Geez, do you really want to do
  this to
  a Pantera.... its so rare.A  How cool.A  Don't see many of these on the
  street, let alone racing door-to-door."A  But, few people realize how
  really
  affordable (in the scope of buying and cost of ownership) a Pantera is.
  That makes it a lost easier to drive like it was meant to be driven -
  not
  parked in the garage.A  Plus, I think MOST Pantera owners feel that
  same
  way.A  Unlike the Ferrari crowd (of which I am also a member), the
  buyers
  down the road typically aren't as worried about how much the Pantera
  has
  been driven, but rather, want one that is proven to drive well.
  A good reason for that is this group of truly dedicated owners that are
  almost rabid about the brand and helping each other.A  Again, unlike
  the
  scores of Ferrari owners - most of whom don't know anything about how
  to
  actually maintain their cars (other than a mileage/maintenance card in
  the
  glove box).
  Again - -thanks to this group for making it easier to actually feel
  good
  about driving the car hard.A  Also - best wishes to those headed to the
  SSC.
