Bad credit and poor decisions. Texas has a lot of army bases and it's a pretty well established stereotype that 18-22 year olds fresh out of AIT make really poor decisions when it comes to car loans. Lots of Camaros challengers and mustangs at like 30%, then they get repossessed and sold to the next dumb kid.

Edit: added to the age range.
