The car is not meant to be a status symbol, it's just a fun thing to have. I have one no ebay now and I'm not selling it as a real Ferrari. Another seller is on there hyping her car as a status symbol with parking attendants and pump jockeys, which is probably true. I parked cars for several years, though, and I wouldn't let a valet near my car now.
Kit cars almost never get finished (industry standard) and cost a ton of cash. If you get into my car cheap, you will be way ahead from the get go. Anyone that is thinking about a kit car should check out this one.
