Does anyone on this board own an exotic car?

methinks that when you think exotic, you're moving a couple steps up in annual income from anyone who would own an S2000, even as a dedicated Autocross or race toy. People who own exotics often don't actually drive them or appreciate them as much as, well, your typical S2000 owner. I know if I owned a Lamborghini, I wouldn't be caught dead in a "honda." (well, ok, actually I would...i was speaking hypothetically) I think it would be cool if someone did own something truly exotic and an S, though. The NSX's and Ferrari 360 are close. I think there's a few 911 Turbo's too. and Alex's dad's E55.

Does a 76 280 Datsun count?

KAMcDonald has a Ferrari (360 I think). You can probably run a search on his user name to find some discussion about it.

Ooohhh...that's what I'm talking about. Nice picture, Keith. That's a pretty sweet looking garage! Which one do you enjoy driving more?

have not really been able to drive the 360 much lately, too much snow, salt and stuff on the roads. looking forward to our first track event at summit point apr 17/18, although it does keep me from going to the wake the dragon event.

on the street it in some ways it is almost more enjoyable driving the s2k. can exceed the speed limit a little without being paranoid about cops giving me a ticket, no one getting up close with all the crazy hooting and hollering, no beater buckets with fart pipes wanting to run me, etc.

of course, at the track without cops, or in a pack of s2k's where i can tell the nice policeman that it was not me going fast, just all them crazy rice rockets buzzing around me, yeah, no contest...

as much as i like the 360 i dont consider it an exotic, maybe because i see quite a few of them living in the bay area.
