Mid Life Crisis
I finally have my girl in college, my son is in high school, and own my house outright. So after driving family cars and SUV's for the last 10 years, I went out and bought an '01 mustang GT for myself and gave the SUV to the wife. Now I decided to sell the GT and order an '03 L, what response do I get from the girl and wife, you must be going through a mid life crisis. You should just get a company car, BMW, and drive it. I still have over 2 years to reach the mid life point, started family early.
We all must have driven performance cars when younger, but should have grown out of it by now, older guys that is. I couldn't even afford the cars that I look at now when I was younger. Women are something else, I just laugh at them as I leave to place my order. Performance vehicles get in your blood and are a never ending hobby. So cheers to all those who have a passion to drive cars and not just commute in them.

A guy turns 40. He goes out and buys a brand new Corvette. His family and friends shake their heads and whisper about his upcoming journey into the twilight years. "He's at that age, I guess.", his mother says. His wife laments, "I was hoping he would eventually grow up. He seems to be having a hard time dealing with his age. I hope he doesn't trade me in on a sportier model."
The guy is oblivious. He's just happy that, after 20+ years of hard work, he can finally afford his dream car.

But what if they buy that hot tub they always wanted ? Huh?

Seriously though I do wonder what type of vehicle I will have when I do reach that age?

well, chit man, I must be on like my 10th midlife crisis as many fun vehicles as I have "had to buy".
I'm waiting on my second Gen 2 Lightning now! and i'm only 27!
enjoy it and let the ladies do their thing.
no offense to any ladies here, but sometimes I swear that women get enjoyment from draining all fun (and income) from men's lives.
later,
chris

Uhh....I may only be 25, but I fully inted to be driving the lastest sports cars when I am 50, as well as dating the lastest crop of college co-eds. You only get one go-around in this shiddy life....I plan to drench myself in my two favorite things as long as possible.....and I fully support anyone else who feels likewise...
