Hello,
I just took delivery of my VS Speedster with 2,000 miles last Sunday night. I’ve driven it every day since. I have other classic cars but this one is unique and so much fun. I’m curious as to why so many owners put so few miles on these cars. I’m also curious as to how many owners put lots of miles on them.
Thanks, guys!

I’ll give you the response I got when I asked the question: besides the folks that had their fantasy grabbed by the shoulders and shaken into reality by a plastic car based on 60 year old technology, I think there’s a cottage industry of guys to whom the building is the attraction. Once they’re done, they sell them and build another.

I suspect that there’s a small number of folks that know their rarity and the wait times involved, and commission a build with the sole purpose of flipping them.
