I've had several occasions where young girls, and I mean girls, like teenagers, say nice car. I know they're not looking at me. They just like the car. THen I had a neighbor lady telling my wife how she saw my car and said to her friend, "there goes a mid-life crisis". I smiled and laughed before I walked off.
I've heard more about the midlife crisis than anything else. Fact is, the midlife crisis was years ago when I bought the Mustang 5.0. The Z is just about getting back to what I've always loved. My second car was an MGA. My roommate had a TR4. We helped each other work on them and tune up the SU carbueretors and fix the Lucas wiring.
I've always liked sports cars. I had to drive a pickup for a few years while we were in the home remodeling phase. And that coincided with the Windstar van while in the kid raising phase. I guess people like to label you no matter what you drive. Our brains are hardwired to classify things into neat little boxes.
