Garage
I first bought mine as my daily. It worked for me and makes the drive going to and from work something to look forward too.
Now you need to be prepared - 17-18 year old car, a sports car, dependability could be questionable.
But you indicate you have a fall back car.
You will need one for:
- Weather
- Maintenance projects that may take a few days
- Car breaks down - for a DIYer, it may take a few days just to diagnose, even if the fix is easy
- Getting parts. The only parts I have been able to get locally is oil, filter and wipers. Everything else has to be ordered

And as said, you can work on these cars yourself. That is part of the ownership relationship you can have with these.
Their not exotic, the engineers made compromises to make them more Daily friendly
