Hey I don't blame ya. I like the idea of working hard play hard. But I like the idea of playing forever even better. That'd mean complete financial independence. Having to work hard for a buck when you're over the hill would be quite simply put - H E L L ! No thanks.
If it's the "wow" factor you're looking for, then anything short of the now discontinued Carrera GT will not do from Porsche @ SoCal. You know that.
Your average Jane will not know the difference between a 911 from a Turbo, or a GT3. It's simply a Porsche to them. Meh! F cars certainly qualify, but man ... what a bottomless money pit that is going to be. Remember it's not about being able to afford a Ferrari, it's about being able to maintain it.
My vote would be for the baby Lambo over the 430. They are arguably more exotic looking than the 430. If you're keen, you'd look up a well preserved used Gallardo for well below 200k.
