Desktop Car Porn

Why do people put pictures of their own cars on their desktop images at work? I've seen that a fair few people have done this (mainly women) but I dont get it? Especially since they only drive normal cars such as a BMW 3 series, or a Ford Focus ST etc..

I remember when I was a boy I had pictures of Ferrari F40's or Lamborghini Diablos plastered all over my wall.. Now I have pictures of classics, but this is because its essentially mechanical engineering porn. I'd rather look at a picture of a beautiful amazing car that Ill probably never own, rather than the car I drive.

Now I am quite proud of my car, Its great to drive, not horrible to look at despite its greyish silver colour, But I would never ever put a picture on my desktop to look at it whilst Im working. If i want to see my car then i'll go look outside at the actual thing, no need for a picture on my desktop at all.
