Midlife crisis.

[UncleFluffy]

Buying a ticket to the lottery makes your chances of winning approximately equal to zero. Not buying a ticket makes them exactly equal to zero.

But does the increased chance of winning balance the increased chance of getting in a car accident on the way to the store? I don't know for sure, but I've seen claims that you're more likely to get killed while getting your ticket than you are to win.

I bought / built 131cubic inch (2,147CC) engine for my Harley. It is in the 200 horsepower range with nitrous...and I parked it between my vette and the 67 Austin Heatley.... I think I have my crisis covered

But buying a ticket infinitely increases your chances of losing.

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....

Well played.

 

[two fingers]

All I want to know is did the car come with a Detroit ball cap, sunglasses, and a Hawaiian camouflage shirt?

Seriously. Sweet set of wheels.

 

[Munjibunga]

Those red headlights look cheesy.

You know, you're right. I guess I won't be getting one now.

I am pretty into the car scene and I know what it is. A red convert is about as girly as any car gets despite its make. It should be black.

Groom Lake hasn't been used as a cloning ground for a herd of bearded cover band musicians, has it?

I can already hear the X-Files theme playing in the background

Buy tickets online or when you are doing shopping anyway?

I'm only 28, but I know but the time I hit midlife a late 80's/early 90's Porsche 911 Targa will be garaged somewhere with my name on the title.

Red is a historically traditional color for sports cars. That's why people in the car biz call it "resale red" because there is always high demand for red sports cars. Black and silver is nice too. Just sayin.

If it were black, it wouldn't be a Ferrari.

 

[Pilgrim]

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

Damn. I wish I could afford a midlife crisis like that.

Would he like to have two crises, and share one with me?? I promise to be very supportive!

What color is your Ferrari? I assume that you have one so that you're fully qualified to make that judgment.

Negative. A Ferrari should ONLY be red. Black is fine for many other cars, but not Ferrari. Ever.

I have to disagree. There are some awesome looking yellow Ferraris

This isn't too dissimilar to that other thread about Porsche's.

The only Porsche worth having is a black 911.

And of course, if it's not red, its not a Ferrari.

I'm no petrol-head, but I know a few, and I've never heard of a red Ferrari being labelled girly.

The convertible aspect is up for debate, but come on, this is a Ferrari.

Apparently, yellow is de rigeur for Lambo's.

Yeah, so Ive heard. Ive also seem some pretty sweet Purple Lamborghinis.

Living near the beach in So Cal, we have a lot of exotic sports cars around here plus Vettes, Porsches and other convertables. The only thing that is "girly" about the red ones that I see is that many times a hot chick is seating in the passenger seat. Nothing wrong with that type of Girly.

Are you going to respond with a red Barchetta?
