Many of the people down here are yankee transplants that sold their shack for a fortune and now live like kings down here. They just can't do without the corruption they so embrace as a way of life so they start running for public offices, getting jobs in law enforcement and otherwise whining about how much better it was back home.

You also seem to forget that corvettes really are not that expensive. Especially when you realize that they are not brand new but a few years old. Also add in that many have a spouse that also works, a car payment really isn't that much.
