No, not mine - I'm past midlife. It's my drummer's. He brought it over today. It's one fast mofo.

Midlife crisis.

....and probably around 4 times the power to weight.
Maybe it's just my Peter Pan syndrome talking but I have a hard time viewing a red 360 ragtop as any kind of "crisis".
As my wife would say, "Nice car. Too bad about the size of your pecker."
It is a gorgeous set of wheels. Lovely exhaust tone.

There's a word for not being able to tell the difference between a Ferrari and a Miata but I just can't think of it right now....
Unrepresented
Something Borderline Offensive
Your drummer bears a strikingly similar appearance to you. Groom Lake hasn't been used as a cloning ground for a herd of bearded cover band musicians, has it?
I have no reason to believe I will be able to have the disposable income available to make the purchase of an "exotic red convertible sports car" at midlife. I am crossing my fingers that I will be able to purchase an item by that point with any of those descriptors.

I never liked the phrase, Midlife Crisis. I prefer to think of it as Midlife Rewards. If you have the disposable income to buy yourself a few toys, be it a boat, hobby car, Harley or what ever you like is great. Most of us work and slave everyday so rewarding yourself with something that you always wanted helps make it worth all the effort. BTW, thats one cool looking car.

Nice ride. Sadly I don't fit in to exotic sports cars unless I'm crammed in as the passenger. I tried an Aston Martin DB9, Ferrari something and Lambo Diablo GT....couldn't close the door in the driver seat as my chicken legs next to the steering wheel didn't leave enough room to close let alone actually drive. My legs were up past 3 and 9 o'clock. I have been shocked in a few of those cars as honestly a miata offers more leg room.
A Lamborghini dealer once told me that the "tall man kit" is essentially a $5000 thinner seat, which allows someone at 6'2 to fit without hitting their head and with the ability to shift.
Not that I was shopping mind you.

This is my thinking, too. I've never bought into the psychological assumption that buying cool things at a certain age means you're compensating for something, or trying to recapture lost youth. I think it just means you finally have the money to buy cool stuff.
"Midlife Rewards" - that's one of the best phrases I've heard in a long time!
