    I think I'm passionate about everything I do, not just ferraris. I take pride when I create something and its a real joy for me to see the finished product. I like building onto my home and I think it speaks who I am. Is anyone else like this? Ferrari..8..I'm giving myself room to improve but not much else. I think its the passion and perfection that goes into a ferrari the attracts me so much. Its the endless desire to create the most beautiful car, over and over again.

    Most folks at the hospital, from docs on down, are shocked to find out I have 3 modified sports cars in addition to a Ferrari. Then there are the 7 high-end bikes: 4 mtn & 3 road. I think I vote 9 for myself. Most of my colleagues don’t understand at all. That is just the tip of the iceberg.

    Good thread...

    Mine has to be on the top scale 10. I know I am so obsessed that I feel it getting dangerous. It occupied most of my time. I read, dream, eat, listen, watch, talk, chat, and drive Ferrari. It came to a point that I need to control it before it got out of hands or become like in the picture above of "TexasMike" . I need Ferrari Doctor...

    Judge,

    You currently own 3 Ferraris (which you purchase from the other side of the world), act as a Ferrari Club Concours judge, provide info to all of us non-owners and you only consider yourself a 6-7????????????






    Well - I'd say I'm probably an 8, but compared to some of the people on this site, I'm probably a 1! If I knew 1/10 as much as some of the people on this site, I'd be ecstatic.

    I'm constantly on Ferrari sites, have a Ferrari wallpaper at the office, have several Ferrari books (and sometimes my Ferrari licence plate) at the office which I peruse over lunch. Usually, when friends have questions about Ferraris they'll call me. My friends & family don't think much about it, since they each have their own passions, but cringe sometimes at what I spend on Ferrari stuff. But since I'm only going to live once, I'm going to enjoy it.

    Next step...a car!

    I actually hide my hobby from non-car people. When I feel "safe", it is more like a 9 or a 10.

    Hmm, how do others see my obsession?

    Well, I almost say everyday the word Ferrari. Ferrari is everywhere ;-)
    They can see it at some of my clothes, my way of talking... But when people enter for the first time my room, they always say: you are nuts. And I love it :)

    The only thing I want for the moment are more books and scale models. Later a real one :)

    Maybe a 7/10

    My room and books

    That's Carbon, not me.
    If I were to get a prancing horse tattoo, it would actually be a large one, not a little one like Carbon's. ;)

    LOL, no...! i'm a pretty heinous-looking dude, so chicks usually cross the street when they see me coming down the block... Even blind women have trouble making eye contact with me... Occasionally, very drunk older women will pity me and breathe in my general direction...

    The other day, at McDonalds, the girl behind the counter - in a very sultry voice, mind you - pointed to my chest and asked if that was a Mustang... i told her no, and that it was actually the Ferrari horse... She became immediately disinterested... i'm a stud.
