Well, I interpret the question a bit differently. Being able to afford two, in my opinion, includes being able to purchase the car and pay for all maintenance/mods/repairs required for the way you plan to drive it. So, for a $150,000 car, I would say that you should be willing to spend about $250,000 over the coruse of a few years on something as obviously non-essential as one of these things.
Anyway...if/when I'm fortunate enough to own one, I would drive it HARD but with respect. I wouldn't buy one if it was meant to be an image accessory; I'd only want one that was sturdy enough for continued hard use. I would adhere to the maintenance schedules to the letter, but I would meanwhile test the rev limiter at least once per drive, and I'd purposefully take the extra-long way home with every trip. I would take it to the track and/or autocross, and I'd probably show up to the random car meets/shows when I can. In between, I'd keep the sucker clean, shiny, and under a cover.
That would be awesome.
