As a low-earner with an economy car, I would love it if you could just throw some cash my way! (I retired from community mental health counseling, so I never earned a decent salary, even with a PhD!) Glad you had fab rich-kid cars. Sorry they will be costing you more.

It's a freaking kia, and the new ZR1 is priced out of reach in light of the fact that I want to own my own home in my lifetime (my ZR1 was "only" $65K). Even with my salary it's difficult to get ahead as we reach our 50s and are just paying off legacy debt. My wife only just now recently paying hers (student loans) and I've got another ~2yr on my legacy debt. Oh yeah, and when adjusted for inflation, even though my salary was half as much when I bought the ZR1 as it is now, I'm actually earning less when adjusting for inflation. It fraking bites.
Yeah. It bites. Welcome to the reality for most of us. If I had money to pay $65,000 for a car, I would definitely feel wealthy. Ever ride the local bus to work? Or walk, for that matter.
Welcome to my reality - Even as a high earner, due to legacy debt I'm still paying down, I had to finance my car and if I lose my job, I'll be as poor as the welfare collectors in red states within a couple months.
