I'm sure the 959 will be just as expensive to maintain and fix than the F40, given how few were made. Its no Boxster. As for having to use it all the time to avoid running into any bigger problems, that makes for a great excuse to have fun all the time .

Interesting, 1st time I have heard of the F50 styling being referred to as feminine. I guess it is one of those designs that you either love or hate. The engine sound though is unreal per the following video:

I have seen service histories for both 959s and F40's. The F40 is a bargain compared to the 959.
