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.
