The bubble wrapped toys are a perfect example: some people don't need to interact with a thing to appreciate and gain satisfaction from collecting it. No shame in that.

I just feel sorry for people that are rich enough to buy these cars but can't/wont actually drive them as they were designed to be. They are in essence being appreciated as a piece of art. But TO ME the true art is how they perform. Granted if they are trailered to the track they will never accumulate many miles (that's OK), but they will be driven as they were engineered to be.
