Would you consider someone that owns a car dealership upper, middle, or lower class? Also, would you considered the car sales industry as a whole to be respectable or not-respectable?

Depends on the type of cars they sell...\n\nA cheap used car sales person is normally stereotyped as lower class, where as a Ferrari salesmen would most likely be considered upperclass.

In a way I agree with you, but considering that this category does deal with motorsport, rebuilding engines and finding parts for their car might be considered for motorsports if they are racing or building a race car.\n\nwould it be appropriate to post a question regarding finding shocks and tranny parts or specs that are the same as the 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX WRC edition?  That in a way deals with motorsports.\n\nBut I don't think it's right that people post questions like should I buy this car or what are the specs for this so and so car if it's stock.\n\njust my point of view.

What's your own view as in rich? like how much money, asset, and etc.? Some people think they're poor even with several millions of dollars they have.

Ford, hands down, there American too. Who cares about Honda and Toyota, if your not buying American then in my opinion your not American. When you buy a foreign car your money goes over seas, sure they have manufacturing facilities here, however, let's not make another country rich from our hard work.

take it easy. it is not your fault that nobody bought you a car and if your classmates have cars given to them by parents it is not their personal credit. if it happens that somebody looks down at you for it, you can tell them that they didnt buy the car themselves or earned them by any major achievement so they cant say or think "oh how good i am  - i have a good car" Well Paris Hilton has even better cars and what a xxxx she is!\n\nproperty and wealth is always pleasant, but it is a measure of success only when it has been earned, not inherited, won in a lottery or received for nothing - as simple as that. \n\nthose noses in the air will just be surprised some day later in their lives.. some girls even seriously plan to marry a rich man when the parents funds start drying out over time.... it is the easiest solution for them..

False!! I have sold everything from insurance to carpet. Like a car salesman once told me there is an butt for every seat. There are two things about selling....One you have to have the right type of personality. Some people just are not sales people they are not outgoing and assertive enought. The second is you have to know your products and know them well. Just make sure you are the right type of person for a sales job...

The two do not cross very well, engineering is the best shot at actually designing cars.  You will make a ton more money too.  You can always work on cars as a hobby. Restoring classics is always cool, and with a job in the engineering division of one of the auto companies you should be making enough money to afford any parts you may need

What does middle class mean?\nThe most common US definition of middle class is home ownership. What increased by 31%?\n\nFact check!\nMedian Household Income in the US (2005) was $49,747.  That means that  50% of Americans can afford to buy a home valued $139,520 with 0 down at 7% interest.  If they have at least 20% they can afford a home of valued at $176, 611.\n\nSo what was the Median Home Value in the US (2005)? = $214,700...  \n50% of all homes fall below $214,700.  In order to afford the median home value, the household needed an income of $76,600 with no money down (7% interest) or $60,500 with 20% down.

Mr. Jones.\n\nIf Mr. Smith drives the Dodge and has $100,000,000 down at First Republic and Mr Jones drives the Lexus he is making the payments on from his job at Winn-Dixie the great unwashed masses will all think Mr. Jones has the most money no matter how they answer the SAT.  Because what they think of Mr. Smith and Mr. Jones outside the testing room is what they really think.  And what the great multitude thinks is all that matters.    They answer Mr. Smith on the SAT because that appears to be the correct answer.  Not because they really believe it.  So they will answer C on the SAT then go out to the parking lot and get into there own 2006 Lexus they're making payments on and drive back to their .... APARTMENT !\n\nThe reality is that most very nice cars are driven by people who are making the payments on them.   And almost by definition, people who make car payments almost always don't have very much money.  ("money" meaning accumulated wealth, not income.)\n\nBut that is the reality.   In USA your IMAGE is your reality.  So,  the SAT answer is C.\n\nBut the only answer that matters in the mind of the public is A.

People have made it a living to go to garage sales and estate sales buying items are low prices and listing it on Ebay.\n\nPeople also make a living searching for items on Ebay spelled incorrectly (which means they will get less search hits and thus bids), purchasing those and reselling.\n\nOften times I have seen baseball cards sold on Ebay, with no photo showing the condition.  Buyers purchase it, scan the card, relist and make 10-15%.\n\nWhy can you fault anyone for wanting to buy low and sell high?

let us put it this way... how come few people drives a porche or a ferrari when it is obvious that it is much better than a ford or toyota.\n\nmacs tends to cater to tow kinds of people, the upper ups and the lowest low, with very few in between. the upper class which who wants to show off a unique machine which they seldom use, the specialists who has a need for a specific program that only run on apple machines. and the lower lows which are those who just surf the net, do some email, and cannot be bothered to delve in the techy problems of computer.\n\npc users really multitasks, loves the challenge of keeping up to date with his machines, gets a high helping other users solve their tech problems. ever asks a mountaineer why he climbs?\n\nno wonder the boss has a mac and everybody else in the office get pcs. hehehe

A man who puts his family before everything.  I respect a person more like that.  And people that are like middle class and lower, are typically more happy.  It may not seem so, but think about how stressed you would be if you had all that money.  Things are not what they appear to be sometimes.
