    Should those who are Subscribed restrict themselves to the Subscribed Poll only?

    I don't think there's any way we can restrict that. I can do a quick analysis of the votes to extrapolate results for non-subscribers, subscribers, and all.

    Probably should make it a "public poll" in that case to see usernames, no?

    I can see usernames in admin. only thing that might make it easier if public is username should be bold if subscribed, admin doesn't bold them.

    what's interesting is that the "own or have owned" total is still ~75%.

    I'm in the will own a Ferrari camp. I'm planning on buying a 550/575 after I finish college and law school. I'm here for the motivation, lol. Seeing a pic of the car you really want almost every day helps a lot.

    As someone who waited around 30 years to finally pull the trigger (and am I ever glad that I did!), I salute those in the "will own a Ferrari" category. Keep the dream alive and it should come true. (Just don't plan to necessarily buy a new Ferrari. At no time in my life have I even come close to being able to do that. But, as I found, there are plenty of good pre-owned Ferraris. They may not be the latest or the fastest, but they all still have that cavallino in the middle of the steering wheel!)

    Figuring out the % of posters who own a Ferrari this way is not really valid as you have no way of knowing if one group is more likely to vote than another.

    nothing we can do about that can we, no one is left out and we will take what we can from the results, it is all for fun anyway, the results aren't for some scientific analysis and change in policy. worse case I may update my advertising blurb for % of users who own. :)

    still saving for my F40! I kind of kick myself sometimes for not pulling the trigger a few years ago when I could have. At least I have a house I am underwater in though, lol!

    Exactly! ;) Actually, I would be curious to see how many Ferraris people own: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4+ ? Wonder how big a disease is lingering under the surface ;)

    Good point. Last year I was a lurker, but would have been in the, "will own" category. This year I bought the 456M, so I'm now an owner.

    Thing is, just as soon as I got the 456 - I mean, like the second time I took it out - I realized that one Ferrari would definitely not be enough, so I'm now shopping for a 360.

    Perhaps next year you can set the poll up to reflect multiple Ferrari owners, because I'm betting that when the bug bites, it bites hard.

    Cheers,

    George

    I didn't vote because "might" own a Ferrari is most accurate for me.....depends on the choices in a certain price range
