I think the point jjyiz was trying to make is that they're not real "enthusiasts". In other words, they may own a Porsche, but they probably bought it because it's a Porsche, not out of any enthusiasm for car performance in general. Most of the people on Cribs probably don't get dirty working under the hood tinkering with it to make it faster and enjoy doing that. They just hop in the car and go on their way to making their next million.
The guy who takes a Honda and makes it a 300 HP monster gets more of my respect than the guy who drives a Porsche but can't tell you squat about the car besides the name, because he's too busy "impressing" people with what he drives.
