    Are most of the club members those of the upper economic class or are there some regular blue collar guys...I plan to buy a Ferrari and I am a blue collar guy who can afford the monthly payments.

    I don't know where you are located, but in my experience in New England, the club has people from a wide range of incomes. More importantly, there have been a lot of real Ferrari fans and even most of the members with the high dollar cars or big collections are very approachable. I'm sure that the FCA has its share of stuck up pr**ks, but that is to be expected. Just avoid those.

    I'm not a club member (no local chapter = no activites = not worth $100 for a little magazine) but I know lots of guys who are and they have widely varied backgrounds. I know a few who work in factories and a few who don't appear to have to work. All seem to mix just fine.

    the stuck up guys are VERY rare, most of the guys are very cool, at least the track guys I hang with

    Dont know about the die hard Concours crowd

    I think FCA is about $130 a year or so, definately a worthwhile investment plus they have great events

    I am an FCA member and owner, I have found most members are great, most are owners but certainly not all. I have run into exactly 2 members that I regret ever meeting. Those are good odds in any walk of life.

    I joined the FCA when I was still in school, broke and years away from ever buying a Ferrari.

    I am blue collar Teamster member and FCA member/owner(not the only one) just bought my first Ferrari '98 355F1 Spider in April. So to answer your question, there are blue collar F-car owners.
