Midlife crisis? Just because you don't have a giant Buick and are not in the millennial generation? I disagree, there is nothing wrong with owning a cool car when you aren't in your twenties...sigh..what is society coming to.

I said two things:
1) it's not a midlife crisis because I don't have a convertible, or
2) I'm getting a new 40 yr old (40th anniv) and getting rid of the other...my wife isn't so pleased with this one (I think more so b/c she's not quite 40 yet). LOL

I have had 5 Rx7s before the 370Z and have had a sportscar continuosly all those years so this is not a new course for me. I start to tell them a mid-life crisis means a man turns 40, buys a red Porsche, ditches his wife, and runs off with a 25 year old blonde with big boobs. I must confess the Porsche would interest me but after being married twice, you keep the blonde. I want the car. Since the Porsche is out of my pay grade, I'll take the Z. As I begin to explain this, I ask myself, why do people think that (the whole mid-life crisis thing) and why am I defending what is not true? I have come to the conclusion that they are actually projecting their desire or dream on others. Anyone else run into this?

Re: Anyone else run into this?

All the time. My answer, "Yeah, I've had a mid life crisis since I was 18 years old." (When I bought my 280Z).

I get that mid life crisis crap too.I simply reply that I wanted a car that's almost as hot as my wife (of 27 years ).

Scubasteve · 03-10-2011, 03:09 PM

zmyride · 03-10-2011, 04:37 PM

Yeah my friends told me too I have midlife crisis after I bought my Z, then I told them, 'I will have midlife crisis when you see me drive a Toyota Camry."

Age is a state of mind. Anyone can have an existential crisis at any age. I bought my car because I wanted driving to be fun again.

I'm going to take this to mean that the Z will make me no longer anxious about mortality, and that therefore the Z makes me immortal

Now that I'm immortal, when can I expect a mid-life crisis? What's half of infinity?

Anyone?

Bueller?
