What does your local Ferrari/Lambo owners do?
I suppose noone who work for someone except just few people on earth or crazy folks willing to take a lease can afford having Ferrari or Lambo or same type of car.
What your local owners of those cars do? What kind of businesses they have?
Why I am asking? Yesterday on a park lot an under 30 young guy was driving AMG SL and 15 minutes after than from local Ferrari dealer arrived 430, salesman switched places with passenger(buyer) and with barking exhaust( ) they droove away... and me sitting is rusted Lada watching this all happening :roll: My whole car costs less than theyr seats knitting makes you think.... *cough* once again *cough*

Just remember that the guy you see driving a flash car isn't always rich/well off - he's often way, way, way in debt.
Fact is 95% of rich people live in middle class areas and drive the second hand family car...
As for those people who can afford these sorts of cars - they are normally people who own their own businesses (not those who work for someone else).

well by my work SL's especially AMG models including quite a few 65's are more common than a honda civic. People by me are mostly in the pharmaceutical business in some way and alot of sports people are around there aswell like Jordan's insane compound across the street. Bill Cartwright has an MDX from us and a new S550. Ferraris and Porsches are as common as the cold. I've even seen the occasional Spyker. like I said most are in the legal drug business and there are alot of Lawyers and Doctors. Huge realestate companies, Some of the larger insurance companies, Motorola Corporate headquarters, Boeing, Coca-Cola, Wrigleys, Nestle, Walgreens, I'm sure I forgot some of the other larger comapnies based here.

oh yeah, a pro sports player is another common one (not in Perth so much but over east).
Lleyton Hewitt (tennis player) has a black 360 Spider for example.
