    ehh not too exotic. A 1987 Mazda Rx-7 Turbo II. Planty fast and meant to compete with the Porsche 944, exotic though? Not quite.

    A Ferrari? What kind?

    I don't think I own anything exotic... Do I???? I would say my wife would qualify but the "ownership" thing would put me out back with the mosquitoes for the night...

    All comes down to what you call exotic.

    If only about 280 on the road in the world, and value of about $70k qualifies, then yes! My main vehicle is a Rav4EV (no laughing there in the back). And the Prius is our secondary car. I wish I could say that my exotic was the EV1, but that ain't gonna happen. For anybody. :(

    Well the defination has unusual in it and so with only 280 on the road that's not a usual vehicle!

    well then I could go to call my car exotic if usuality is the case. I have a rotary (zero piston) angine. Only 6 models of car sold in America have this type of engine. Only 1 with this particular engine. It ammount for less than .00001% of engines found on the road today and most mechanics cannot work on it. So you could call my car exotic even though in it was a publicly avaliable car (expensive though $19,000 new in 87, that's like a standard Corvette in our time)

    lol, the "you" tag hits again...

    i've seen quite a few prius owners here who use the prius for daily driving and pull out the bad boy car for a run on the weekend.

    unfortunately i'm not one of them. :(

    yeah. You can see how it works now (in my signature). It took me alot of reading but I can fix my engine when it has problems. Only 3 moving parts.
