It also doesn't mean I want to repeatedly spend tens of thousands of my fortune repeatedly replacing Ferraris. Plus you know, the media attention, and add to the fact that Ferrari really does not like it when you crash their cars. Really, they don't.
You make a lot of rash assumptions, and are in fact very wrong. You also come off as a person that is looking to buy a badge, as much as you try to berate the "buy it for looks and status" crowd, because while Ferraris certainly are up there in terms of world class cars, they aren't the pinnacle of driving dynamics. Few others do it better IMHO. And if you really do love cars and driving, and can afford a garage full of cars, why not have something like the FR-S too, supposing of course it does live up to it's promise of what it's said to be?
Before I grew up and realized that it makes no sense to have more cars than you could realistically drive in a given week, I always imagined one day growing up and becoming ridiculously, filthy, stinking wealthy and having a fleet of cars, like which ever sultan is the flavour of the news. However, always in that fleet would have to be pristine versions of the cars I grew up and cars that made me feel warm and fuzzy about them. and if you are about the drive and not the status, you would be surprised at some of the cars that can do that.
