I disagree completely.

Half of us can't even find jobs right now. Sure you can work at McDonald's just to get by for now but that's not going to pay for a Camaro.

Hell I got a government job right out of college and thankfully I'm able to live fairly comfortably off my salary but I'm still nowhere near being able to afford a sports car. Couple that with $3+/gallon fuel prices and absurdly high car insurance rates and anything sporty isn't exactly practical right now.
