If you are going to be "o.k." with that then coughing up $4,000-$6,000 for operation a prancing horse doesn't seem so outrageous to me.

I hear ya, but doesn't the story change if you drive your car every day?
I recognize that not all Pcar owners do, but I always thought of our cars as high-end production DDs while a Ferrari is more of an exotic for weekend and track activities. What is going to happen to your maintenance costs if you put 15k miles per year on the clock of the Ferrari fighting traffic?
I think we are talking about apples and oranges here.
I know there are plenty of people who only drive 911s on Sunday and treat them like they are priceless artifacts, but that doesn't put the car in the same league as a Ferrari for ownership comparative purposes. I also know guys who do the same thing with Mustangs.
