I've noticed that most drivers don't own premium cars that they can afford. Why?

[QUOTE="cynic, post: 1206494, member: 48621"] My favorite model car is "[B]paid for[/B]" - I haven't had a car payment since 1991 and I haven't paid over $1,000 for a car since then either. I always buy an older cash car from someone I know and drive it for 5 to 9 years and do the majority of repairs myself. They look and run well - people don't want to deal with selling a used car or don't want the dealer bending them over. Give me that car with 180,000 miles for $850 - I'll nurse that thing along for at least 5 years. I mean, I LOVE the cool new cars I see people driving into work, would LOVE to have one, but I spend less than 6 hours a week in my car driving to/from work to both jobs. Why do I want to pay higher insurance rates and have a payment?! You guessed it - I'm so damn cheap I squeak when I walk, but my bank account is getting fatter, not the car dealer's. [/QUOTE]
