A few years ago had the opportunity to drive one of my (and a lot of other guys’ dreamcar). It turned out a nightmare, as the cabin was so small I could hardly get into it and even less stand sitting in it for more than ten minutes. And I am just 6’3’’.
I got to test-drive a Maserati once. It was a convertible with the top down so head room wasn’t an issue. Really nice comfortable car with such a luxurious interior! Sigh……
I had the opportunity to drive a neighbor’s Pantera once. I’m a bit over 5’ 10". I couldn’t get into the thing. At the time I had an ’84 Lotus Turbo Esprit. Plenty of room for me to get in and out. I took it down to an automotive stereo store in Redondo Beach and the guy leaned way way over to look me in the eye and asked me why I needed a car that low to the ground! I laughed. The car was only 44" high.
I bought a 2000 Z3M for my 50th birthday. I had DINAN beef it up some and I love the car. It’s a weekend only and now has 32,000. Nice collector car one day perhaps? Go for it John!
I heard Jay Leno say that most people who think they want a sports car really want a grand touring car. Something with performance, but a back seat for a kid, lower insurance, and more comfort.
After a month with a Camry loaner while waiting for parts to be made and shipped from Japan, I am back with my Prius after that gas guzzler I couldn’t get past 40 mpg. 50s once more in sight.

Go for it, John! Or you’ll always regret it. Later you’ll turn into an old and bitter grouch. Always wondering “What might have been.” _
