And interesting about the price of the car.<br>Still fun, and YES, ROI for me! :-) Great perspective Apollo. And interesting about the price of the car.

Cities like Chicago, Boston, NY, SF, etc. are full of exotics (just sit down in Harvard Square and you will catch one or two of them every 15 minutes during rush hour). Eyeballs of people it attracts may not be positive either. Exotics tend to be loud, have raspy exhaust (performance and mufflers are not good friends), and though car guys like that, general public has negative associations with that.<br>As a car enthusiast, I must pop in a correction too. This looks like a 360 and MSRP on it brand new base was in $160K range (even convertible did not break $200K). Most used one now sell in $120K range. So claim of $250K resale is just a bit on a fantasy side.<br><br>That all said, I am glad you enjoyed yourself.
