Buy the car with fun to drive near the top of your list of priorities, then drive it so you get to enjoy it as much as possible.
Granted that that's easier to pull off with some occupations than others, but I still wouldn't want to have to own a vehicle that I wouldn't actively want to drive. Penalty boxes are for hockey players.

I agree! '93 Z/28 replaced by a '01 WS6 replaced by a '13 1LE. While all that was going on, the BBC '69 Camaro sat in the garage being driven on occasion and raced. I agree with driving your favorite toy as often as possible but beware of that fine line that makes it run that much better but also all but eliminates the drive-ability. If you really start to make them run right at the track, start to think about something else as a daily driver because often reliability and drive-ability will suffer. Missing work because your car runs great is very seldom an excusable absence! OH, and this new Camaro is 10 times the car the '69 ever was in stock trim. Technology rules!
