Mid Life Crisis Car
 

I take delivery on my 370z tonight. Base model, Black. I think it will be a lot of fun. I have been driving the same car (2000 Dodge Intrepid) for 10 years so looking forward to the change. I will be 50 this year and think this is a perfect mid life crisis type car!:D

Congratulations
 

Another Z in Indiana, great cause I've yet to see one on the road around here. Southern Indiana here. Got my black Z last weekend, so my midlife crisis started at 44.

Hi there,
I just sold my motorcycle and decided to play it safe with 4 wheels.
What better way to do it with a new Z. I dont miss the bike at all, the Z is much more exciting and fun. My wife is cool about it, I think she prefers me driving on 4 wheels as opposed to 2. I find myself like a kid again anxiously looking forward to polishing and driving the car. i sometimes just park it and stare at it, i cant believe what a head turner it is. I like to watch other folks reaction when they see it, its awesome. So enjoy your new ride dude and relish in the moment, you deserve it.

Take time out for a Tony Stewart moment. :tup::rolleyes:

I know you are making light here when you say "mid-life crisis"....but...why is this such a stereotypic response when people in there 50's buy a sports car?

I have always looked at it as that I have done my time with raising kids and all and its time to pay a little attention back on "muah" since I have done nothing but spill blood, sweat and tears for the young ones I brought into this world.

Just curious why we perpetuate in such a "negative" way rewarding ourselves for all our hard work and responsibility we bore on our shoulders living for everyone else for the past 20-25 years? :confused:

Funny part, I'm 31 and view my Z as my MLC-car...

Hmm...

Yeah i'm not even 30 yet and this will be my excuse for wanting to feel young again. Something to fill the void.

lol!! happy golden years Louddog..maybe its a perfect car for you!!

i sold my bike too. i do miss riding but when i drive the z then its all good.

lol..you're still very young bro!!

my mid life crisis started at 25 if buying a sport car qualifies, just picked up my z yesterday,its my 5th 2 seater,i still own 2 others 03 z06 vette,06 crossfire 'daughter drives that one"

I'm 40 and it's been pointed out to me many times that I must be having a mid life crisis after buying mine. That and the "nice .......extension you have there, are you compensating for something" comments.

All water off a ducks back to me, jealousy is a funny thing lol.

Buying a sports car when you get older isn't a midlife crisis . . . it just means you've gotten to the point where you can afford it and you've come to the realization that life's too short to drive a Camry.

A midlife crisis is leaving your wife to chase women 20 years younger than you. I had a partner who did that. Didn't really work out for him. He should've taken into consideration the fact that he looks a lot like Herman Munster. :icon14:

:icon18: that make sense to me too!

If you think that you are experiencing a mid life crisis on that stage then so be it..:icon18:
