I've never bought exotics. Driven a few but not interested in owning one. I enjoy working on my own cars and being able to access and buy parts at a decent price.
Apologies for the Dad comment. Every boy should have a role model growing up. If I had known I wouldn't have went there, even jokingly. My bad.

Thanks but it doesn't bother me not having a dad. I learned to be street smart at a very early age. It almost killed me but it also helped me years later.
I worked for Irvine Central Motors in So. Cal in 1990. I remember we had a Lamborghini Miura we were asking 100k for. Now they're worth well over a million dollars. Irvine Mazda bought us out and i stayed with them for a year. They loaded up the lot with Miata's. Only had four colors. Red, Blue, Silver, and white. A great handling car back then with a short shift. They copied the British sports cars but with 100x more improvements. People were paying sticker and we were selling them before they got to the dealership. Unfortunately over the last 30 years they didn't do a whole lot with them. A little different design, a little more HP, and different colors. I just remember they could easily out handle a Corvette and just about everything else. The 101 HP was the only drawback.
