Car obsession among celebrities

I was watching a show on MTV recently and they were showing houses of celebrities but the most prized possessions that the celebrities were proud of were their cars. And it is not the first time I have watched or heard this. There is really a craze among celebrities to buy unique, classic and expensive cars. It is like a second (or in some cases) first wife to them. Then to top it of some of the celebrities fit their cars with gizmos and accessories to make the cars more unique.

I don’t understand this craziness about the four wheelers. Maybe they have extra money to burn, maybe they were fascinated by cars when they were kids or maybe they want to one up with other celebrities. Whatever the reason, you have to see the childish joy in their faces when introducing their cars to their audiences. It is like a child showing off his or her toy when they first get it. I don’t want to sound like I am jealous or what not, but cars are cars and once you have driven it, it just becomes a routine like getting from one point to another. I guess everybody has a hobby and the major hobby of celebrities seems to be is to buy cars.
