I had no technical knowledge when I built my first PC. I was actually told by a friend that building your own PC was better than buying one off the shelf, and cheaper. So I ordered the parts, read the manuals - every single component you can buy that's worth buying has a pretty in-depth manual - and put it together. It wasn't until after that that I became intrigued and started focusing on the technical aspects. And even now, I don't know everything, for instance, my knowledge in overclocking is pretty limited.
The fact of the matter is though, building a pc is not rocket science. No one is suggesting that people should design their own hardware, like your failed Ferrari analogy suggests. PC hardware can, for the most part, only be plugged in one way; screw holes lines up a certain way, etc.
all building a PC takes is a little reading and learning, again, it's not rock science. he problem though is, some people are simply too lazy to read and learn, which is why companies like Apple can come along and milk every dollar they can out of you buy selling you and overall inferior product as compared to what else is available on the market for less.

I'm saying the average person with no tech background coming along and trying to declare that something they know nothing about is better than something else they know nothing about are complete and utter morons. All 99% of Mac fanboys know about is what they read in the advertisements.

I said a skilled mechanic could build an equally fast car but its takes a lot of time , experience and it's likely not going to be as a visually pleasing and mising a few other key items like the apple package amd its just not an option for non geeks....

You are still suggesting that a Mac is comparable to a Ferrari and a PC is comparable to something less, and that argument failed then, and it fails now.
Simply put, if Macs and OS X were truly superior to everything else, then why do MOST people still buy PCs with Windows? Regardless of the market, PC/Windows controls more of it than anyone else.
