2. Waiting time on parts plus cost can be more of a problem for owning such a car.
3. Some companies may have a few parts in stock, but they can charge you up the ass prices if they want as well.
Glad somebody listens to me around here.


The only factor that negates anything that I may have said in the past is if you've got what I call "FU Money".

Like, you've got so much money you can piss it away on a car that may only see the street 4 days a year. That's FU Money. Sorta like Jay Leno, he's got FU Money. He has a warehouse full of rare and stupidly expensive cars.

If you're financially set with FU Money. Then by all means... get a bitchin rare car.

But since you're posting on a site like this and drive a GMC Sanoma from the early '90s I suspect you're a hard working lazy SOB like the rest of us. Get the more sensible choice as far as play cars go. You'll thank yourself in the long run when/if something breaks... or you want to upgrade it so you can beat the guy posting next to you.
