"That's reason enough not to buy $10k cables and Ferraris - not to be associated in any way with those f*****s."
Hopefully, there are other reasons for those who prefer not to buy these things. Above reason would be quite a snobbish one.
Yes. I would buy a Ferrari in a heartbeat. On two conditions: 1) I had enough money to buy it and treat it the same way I treat my 350Z. In other words it could not be so precious to me that I was afraid to use it. And 2) That I'd drive the heck out of it, street and track, the same way I do my Z.....which has taken enormous abuse.

I've never known anyone very well who owned a Ferrari. I do know a man who owned a room full of Purdy and pricier shotguns. He was a gun snob in precisely the same way we are all audio snobs. I did not consider that to be a reflection of his character which was otherwise warm and generous. 

Stereotypes are often correct but very frequently wrong as well.
I might have been lucky so everyone I have known owning a Ferrari has been a friendly, nice, and polite person. There may be many reasons not to buy one (actual humiliation of purchasing, at times) but one it is not. Music in the car. Historically speaking, Ferrari is actually a bona fide audiophile vehicle. 612 came with Bose system stock. I am not aware that anyone has beat it so far, when it comes to obvious audiophile attempt. I guess, a true audiophile should not dis it.
