For five days a week, Robertson, 56, trudges from his home in Detroit to his job at the factory where he works in Rochester Hills, Michigan. He's walked the walk ever since his 1988 Honda Accord quit on him more than 10 years ago

Detroiter James Robertson, 56, walks about 21 miles a day, round trip
Works in an industrial plastic molding plant - producing high specification parts for clients such as AM General - maker of the Humvee car
Robertson rides bus ride part-way to his hourly job and part-way home
He says he loves his job and his colleagues but buses are limited
Claims he can't afford a car on $10.55 an hour
Occasionally others heading his direction stop and offer him lifts
His job pays him $10.55 an hour, which he claims is not enough for him to buy his own car, but that may well change after well-wishers managed to raise almost $42,000 for him in an online campaign in just hours.
