That I understand. My point is that I know of a number ex Ferrari owners that are Concours Judges at Cavallino, Pebble Beach etc. They've owned many Ferraris over the years, but at this time for one reason or another don't own one. They will own one again in the future. Those people should not be considered in the same catagory as the high school or college age kid that hangs out here with dreams of someday owning a Ferrari. Or the guy that is afraid to pull the trigger for various reasons. It is a shame to group together a guy that paid his dues, with the people that either can't afford it or are afraid too because something may go wrong. Joe Dues paid for over 20 years.
I'm surprised by the results. Are all you non-owners just not answering? I'm a non-owner. Never had one. I will one day. Maybe more than one. Come on, non-owners. Help this guy get some accurate results.
Naturally, since this is the honor system, can we really know if the "yes" votes are from actual owners? Maybe Chris should have conceived a way to have a VIN inserted. Just a thought, because we are trying to get somewhat of a serious count with this poll.
I'm not surprised...... Chating is more fun with things you own..., not just read about. That's why most chaters here own Ferrari.
I do see your point and agree. If I thought of that, it would have been the 3rd option in the poll.... :edit: 331 voters....we need more Send this thread to people you know
Seems to have pretty much held steady the whole time at 1/3 no, 2/3 yes. Interesting to see if it stays that way.
There are 40,000+ registered members, yet we only have 339 some odd voters. This poll make take longer than I originally thought... It's ok, It's worth the wait
Any stats on how many of those 40,000+ members are active? Say, who have posted at least one message in the past month.
Very, very roughly, 5,000 have visited in the last 24-48 hours, 10,000 have visited in the last 12-14 days, 15,000 have visited in the last 2 months (since March 24), 20,000 have visited in the last 5 months (since mid-December '06) I suspect a large number of non-owners are not voting.
You can work it out from here if you care to: http://ferrarichat.com/forum/memberlist.php?&order=DESC&sort=lastvisit&pp=100
Unfortunately I do not...but after the next five years with a steady job and living in a cardboard box, I'll be there with you guys!
Technically; yes. I have the VIN to prove it. Realistically, it will cost me more to put it togeather than its worth. Go Boxer prices !
