Great thread. I LOVE Ferraris, and also hope to own one some day, but I do find some of the maintenance costs to be ridiculous. One of my dad's friends had a Testarossa, but sold it when it came due for the timing belt change. Why they don't use timing chains is beyond my comprehension. My dream (modern - I love old ones, but are way out of range) car is a F550 Maranello. When I was in California last weekend, I was chasing one on Highway 1 with my dad's 1964 Corvette Sting Ray. After that, I started thinking that the Sting Ray may be a better long-term goal than a Ferrari. But there's just SOMETHING about the car!
Insofar as an everyday exotic, while Porsche is a good choice, you really cannot beat the NSX. My best friend has one, and in the mountains, its a race car. In commuting, it's a Honda.
