Is it worth having a nice car in Miami?

I just moved from Houston where car culture is pretty much a thing and people are really into their cars and take care of them. I’ve been in the city for a few weeks and it seems like the city would be very hard on a nice car. I’m not even sure that you would be able to enjoy it without limiting the places that I go. I don’t really wanna be worried about a car being damaged. I want to explore the city and enjoy things and go to the beach. So I’m wondering, is it really worth having a nice car in Miami?

For those of you that have a nice car meaning something expensive compared to your income, has it been worth it for you?
