Well, then you can count me as an "average blue collar" worker. I bought my DeLorean back in 2001, when I was only an Airman First Class in the Air Force. I was only making roughly $26K a year and I worked my ass off to get my car. My parents weren't rich, I didn't go to college (even though I had a scholarship I turned down), and I still don't have a degree. I came from very humble beginnings and have had to work for everything I have. I joined the Air Force, learned Korean, and am now working as a contractor earning more than I could have ever dreamed. But I still consider myself an "average blue collar" worker because I don't have a rich-boy, snobby attitude about the fact that I make good money or that I own and drive a beatiful car (that is in excellent condition I might add). I don't have a need to take out a 10 year loan for a DeLorean cause I already own one. But if I did, I can assure you I am quite intelligent and financially savvy enough to make it work. I think you should give more credit to those "blue collar" workers out there, we might just surprise you.
