I think you might be mistaken. I once lived next door to a couple with two 914s. His was a 5-speed (license plate: STICKO) and hers was a Sportomatic (license plate: SPORTO). Both purchased new from the dealer.
I live in a small city and am fortunate to see exotics and other interesting cars on a fairly regular basis. I was just following a Ferrari Teatarosa across town the other day and I’ve seen stuff like a 289 Cobra, a Porsche 959, a Ferrari 250GT Lusso, a Mercedes 300SL, a Bugatti Veyron, a Ferrari 275GTB, a Lotus Europa, XKEs and various late-model Lambos, Porsches and Ferraris cruising around on local roads.
And as far as the farmer/exotic car thing goes, I certainly wouldn’t expect a farmer to be impressed by an exotic or sports car any more than I would expect a classic/sports/exotic car guy to be impressed by a combine. Two complete different worlds for the most part and to each his own.
