John,

very true. many of the younger owners (18-23 yr old) like myself have a 
higher disposable income ratio than adults with houses, families, two cars, 
etc. Personally i realized this fact and decided that i had to get my 
DeLorean while i was still young and make sure i get it paid off and fixed up 
(i just about said 'completed' - like a D is ever done!) before i get 
married, buy a house, etc. that way i could enjoy it while i was still in 
college and roaming the country, and have it 'on the side' as i begin to 
settle down. 

unfortunately, you NEVER have as much disposable income as you think you do. 
i have a quite a large sum of debt that will take me all of 2003 to pay off 
if i don't spend any more!! BUT i can be happy in the fact that after that, 
i will have an excellent car that is totally reliable, looks good, and is a 
crowd favorite at the many shows i attend each year. to me, that is worth the 
damage done by debt. 

but then again, i have had a lucky work history so far - when i was in high 
school i was the youngest assistant manager ever in the fast food franchise i 
was in, and when i left there for a new job, i am now the youngest general 
manager my company has ever put in charge of a store, and i have been lucky 
to post up to 30% sales increases in the time i have been running the show. 
i am paid well with bonuses, i'm on salary, i have benefits, and i am able to 
go to college at the same time without any work penalties. to make it short, 
i wouldn't ever have dreamed of buying a DeLorean at 18 years old if i was 
hopping around on jobs every few months - you gotta have a good reliable job 
if you are going to be a young owner.
