Took the FRS in for a warranty repair. Had a rav4 for a day. Meh. Took the Jaguar in for a warranty repair. They were out of loaners. Got a rental Dodge Caravan instead. Meh, but useful.
So I think I should get a Ferrari.

With the direction of your trend if you got a Ferrari and took it in for warranty repair the loaner you got would be a 1987 Yugo.

Last week's BaT 240z was sure nice.
Not "exotic" but a realistic weekend car. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-datsun-240z-107/

EFI would be neat. I test-drove a '71 about fifteen years ago. It was super minty and the owner wanted just $4200. Dual carbs. 4-spd. Orange on black vinyl. I just remember the motor being really silky-smooth compared to what I was used to driving. I took it on some backroads and got it up to about 50 mph. I never needed 4th gear it was so smooth and long-legged. I passed as I had just bought my '74 Celica coupe and had nowhere covered to store a 2nd collector car. They're sure looking sweet now.

I used to work for a Porsche dealership along time ago. There was this guy who owned a 930 and had a reputation for actually driving his car. He had driven to the dealership in his Saab Turbo to see if his Porsche was ready; yes it was. That meant he had 2 cars at the dealership. I have no idea how I ended up driving his Saab back to his place which was very exciting for me. Lag? You want to talk about lag??? Omg! But the best was yet to come. He said the Saab was getting low in petrol, he would have to take me back in the Porsche. Oh my. I thought the acceleration was like a plane taking off. We saw 150 km/h in a 60km/h zone, 110 km/h around the large round-a-bout.
I was in car heaven.

the early saab 900s would hit 115 mph in a heartbeat. quirky things but well designed machines....key down in the shifter, the hood hinge system to get to the belts on the firewall.
I've had the pleasure of doing a few 1000 miles in a late 70s 930 with 935 heads. it worked some neck muscles)) keeping the oil tank low kept consumption down but would blow through a quart in a couple hundred miles in baller mode. not vintage...but wickedly quick for break-in limitations... |

I had 1996 Saab 900 Turbo CV. Great car. The guy before me had it 100% dealer maintained so I kept it up that way even though it was expensive. 198k miles and it was still going strong until some punk in an S2000 lost control of his car trying to pass me in the rain and took us both out. R.I.P.
