Like the rest of the world, it's always better to want, then to have.

A long time ago me and two friends took a surf trip to Oahu and part of our plan was to go fishing for marlin. We checked out the charter boats and it was the wrong time for marlin fishing so we passed on that which left us extra spending money.
We kept passing this exotic car rental in Honolulu and decided to get us a car instead of a Marlin. They had a few nice ones and we settled for a Mondial Ferrari which is a 2+2 cabriolet and 12 cylinders of power.
So we got it for a one day rental ( $300 ) and decided we would take it all the way around Oahu for a scenic drive. We fought hard over who would get to drive it first and then took turns along the way.
By the time we got to the North Shore we were all tired of driving the dam thing
The clutch was super stiff and you had to stand on it every shift. That will wear you out. The cool factor had already worn off and now we were fighting over who would be stuck driving it back
I will say that later that night I took it out and drove it around Honolulu and it was very cool driving it with the top down and hearing that engine sing between the towering buildings.
So I'm with you that the cool factor wears off pretty fast and I got all I needed out of a one day rental
