Always park your sports car underneath something. And I am not talking about under a tree! Use a car port or a garage to ensure the elements of nature do not mess up or speed up the deterioration of the car.
EVery now and then when you are driving around, just turn the radio off and drive in silence. While this does allow you to listen to the purr of the engine, it also lets you hear an other strange noises that might be going on. If you hear anything that just sounds odd, get it to a mechanic right away. Something might not be right.
Another thing you must do when driving the vehicle is check the gauges on the dashboard regularly. Should one of these sensors suddenly light up, you should stop the vehicle and try to determine the problem. If are not sure, call a mechanic or go there and have the problem fixed.
Also ensure the basics are done on a regular interval. The oil should be changed every 3000 miles, the air filers checked, and the tires checked and rotated every 4,000 miles. Just these small things will make a huge difference in how long the car lasts.
It really does not take that much upkeep for your sports car to maintain its top notch appearance and running condition. Just listed for noises, look at the gauges, and get the regular check ups dones. These simple things can ensure your sports car lasts for a lifetime.
