Not sure would would buy besides collectors. But why would collectors live in Puerto Rico?
There used to be a few racetracks down here but currently really only one is really active. Some private and open drag days are held there. Plus there are a few 1/2 mile events held at one of the local airports due to the huge runway.

But you'd be surprised at the number of high end and exotics sold and driven here. Plenty of Shelbys, GTRs, M3s, Lambos, Ferraris, McLarens, etc. G Wagons are plentiful too if it tells you anything. No Bugattis or Paganis though.
And (with very few exceptions) the roads are horribly kept for any car, let alone exotics.

Yet... They're here.
