How are young'uns who don't work affording to buy and insure cars like the above?

Stopped to fill up my 1.3CDTi Corsa yesterday, watched a C63AMG fresh off the dealer's forecourt pull in.

Driven by an Asian kid about 22. How??????????

Alot of leased cars now. C63 amg, golf r etc all can be had on lease. Use and abuse and send back after they nailed or 3years what ever comes first.
