If I were to regress to my thrill seeking days, I would have hung on
to my old Porsche 930 (pre-emission, high octane engine). That was a
fun car for the years that I owned it. Exotic cars are like exotic
women. Fun to ride now and then, but I wouldn't want to pay the
maintenance of owning either one

True, but you really can have your cake and eat it too. What you want is an
exotic that uses an American V8. Unlike a Ferrari etc you can blow the engine
to dust and can afford to buy a new one. I'm presently keeping my eye out for
a Pantera L. Italian mid engine V8 powered by a Ford 351. I'll install 4
Webers and have some fun.
