My beloved Honda S2000 is the greatest regret… I should have just sold my Subaru and I’d still have comfortably been able to add the F10. Instead the S2000 went (and so quickly and for so much that I didn’t have the time to even think twice)
The one I am most glad I kept is actually my 4C. I was on the verge of selling the 4C and buying either an FF or 458. Glad I kept the 4C and added the F90. I thought I would miss my F10 more - but the F90 continues to keep me happy.
Enjoyment trumps the image or dream status of some of these things
In Jan One of the YouTubers I follow that had one experienced that R700K failure on the FF gearbox that I was dreading 😂… literally woke up one day to that kind of bill 😂 could have been me. Wheels and suspension on my F90 are not close to the 100k cost of a Ferrari 1 year warranty and I have no feelings of terror that something might go wrong - its one thing to get a 200K repair bill out of plan - quite another when you could potentially park your car and wake up to a bill north of 500K... Unfortunately the ones that I could realistically get into were far from perfect with repairs and missing options as well as high (or questionable) mileage to add into the equation as well. The older cars have aged horribly as well in some instances (of all brands)
Anyway back to the enjoyment aspect: will I be able to regularly track a Ferrari or GT3? No cos just running costs are so insane for track use let alone track insurance and potential repair bills. 4C is comfortable for me for now.
I still do want my prancing horse or bull before 40 comes though... even though arguably the garage already has 'better' cars than the ones within range are likely to be.
Kombi is easily worth over 250K now, but I can never let her go
