I will post pictures of my rather sorry lot of car's through most of them scrape the bottom of what would be called exotic.
First 850i BMW, rare, expensive, kinda fast. Well as fast as any 6000lb BMW can be. Rare in the fact that it had no codes flashing when I drove it (ask an 850 owner about that) and expensive because well it was when new and everything on it broke at a pretty good clip for a 13 year old V12 monster.
Car was sold (unfortunetly, my girlfriend loved driving this one)
Second Thundrranch riot, rare and fast, but not expensive, so maybe it does not count. Rare because there are only 6 that I know about in the world that have been completed (but ~20-40 kits were sold over the years). Fast because it weights dry 970lb's with cage and will soon have ~260hp. 315 rear tires with now 295's up front, with room to go to a 355 on the rim's that i have. No traction control, no windshield wiper's, heck no door's.
Other exotics that I have owned over the years that fall under the radar as we talk about exotics in this context. 917 replica on tube frame, mid engine with ~150hp in a 1200lb car. Very rare 67 K code mustang, that was not nearly expensive enough to warrent being a exotic. my 356, 550, 914 don't count in my book as they are kit cars. Well the 914 is not but if it was a factory 6 GT it might past muster.

Sorry man...I have a couple of NSX's to go with my S2000, but not anything more crazy yet. I should have my F355 within 2 years though.
