Having driven both I would love to have a 4C as a retirement fun car but my practical side knows a Porsche Boxster would be infinitely more reliable and usable.
I’ve never owned an exotic but I dailyed both of my Porsches, a 987 Cayman and a 991 Carrera. I put 62K miles on my 911 before I sold it. My personal hero is a local chap who is seen pretty regularly driving his McLaren F1 as well as other special cars in his collection. The F1 has rock chips on the front!

Puts a smile on face to know some of these owners are driving these cars and not letting them sit in a garage!!!
