Unless you count picking up women or impressing ricers as usefulness. Is a Babe Ruth card more useful than a Joe Baseball Player one? It's all just relative value to the owner. The GTR definitely has a more artful feel to it than either a Camry or Miata. It's a car you can stare at and enjoy, something you can't do with your two car scenario. I used to park my RS outside my office window at school and every once in a while I'd glance down at it and be taken back even after 7 years of ownership. There is something to be said for the emotional satisfaction of ownership that a car like a GTR can provide that no DD/Race Car combo can.
