Through all of it, I came to understand that the price of the car is just the price of admission. The real costs begin once you have it. You need to keep at least a 10k a year fund (depending on model) for maintenance and things that may go wrong. Secondly, if you do not drive it and it sits for long periods of time, it will become a nightmare. Ferraris do not like to sit unused. The maintenance clock still continues ticking no matter if you rack up the miles or not. If it sits, that clock speeds up.
But yeah, nothing feels or sounds like a Ferrari. In the end, you need to buy what you like!
Yup that’s why I am stupid for dreaming about it. I drive it, I have to pay the depreciation. I don’t drive it, things might break. I should just go to turo and rent one for a day

Would be a good idea in any event - to see if it is really your heart's desire, or just what you think you want.

Or, do what I did - find someone who offers a track experience with exotic cars! If you are going to experience a supercar, then drive it the way you cannot on the street!

I get that a car like this is meant to savour - the look, the sound, the feel. And (to some extent) be seen in. But, deep down, don't you also want to see what it can REALLY do - without breaking yours, or losing your license?
