Owning one
An estimate, for the 914/4 1.7 trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

The Jalpa's name comes from a breed of fighting bull, continuing Lamborghini's tradition of naming models after bulls.
The 348 brought Formula 1 to the road: its transverse gearbox layout was adapted straight from Ferrari's 312T Grand Prix car.
The F50's V12 traces its architecture directly to the 3.5-litre engine of Ferrari's 1990 641 Formula One car.
Koenigsegg built only two CCX Editions, a number so small it undercuts most limited runs by a factor of ten.
The CCX exists because Koenigsegg redesigned its entire hypercar around one goal: finally meeting US safety and emissions rules so Americans could legally buy one.
This 308's four-valve heads weren't only about more power — they solved a real problem: the earlier two-valve engine's sodium-filled valves were known to fail at the joint between head and stem.
This 308 became a TV icon by accident of casting: Tom Selleck drove one around Oahu as Thomas Magnum for eight seasons of Magnum, P.I., burning its silhouette into 1980s pop culture.
It kept its prototype code as its name: in Fiat's system X1 meant a passenger car, and this was the ninth one developed.
