Above that, go with a Gallardo. They're very reliable.

Ferraris are so fragile. It seems to me it would take the fun out of it, constantly worrying about it breaking down.

I like the NSX but it may actually be a bit more expensive for similar mileage and condition. But more importantly, you have to understand that I have loved Ferraris since I was 5, or maybe younger, and it has long been a dream of mine to own one. Also, the Mondial is a 2+2 which can be a fun feature when traveling with another couple, assuming their wife is as small as mine.

My wife's favorite cars are Lambos but Gallardos are A LOT more expensive and I can't see them being more reliable. Ferraris actually are quite reliable if you treat them right. A friend of mine in high school had an uncle who was in the "garbage collection business". He bought a new Ferrari with cash. He pushed the car too early and ignored the break in procedure. He blew the head gasket. If there was ever a case of using EXACTLY the fluids the manufacturer suggests and torquing EVERY bolt to EXACTLY what the manufacturer suggests, Ferrari is it. The tolerances are insanely tight.
