Inspired by the other thread what do you think screams mid life crisis car.

Let’s get the obvious one out of the way the definitive mid life crisis car, the corvette.

I also think 911s are in that boat.

    Jeep Gladiator:

    Driven by older balding men, who drive around with the top and doors off. And you can see that they’re still wearing their work polos and khakis.

    Base model 911 Carrera is definitely midlife crisis material. Something more specced out though is probably just a rich guy with taste

    Is it midlife crisis when you can finally afford to own the car? I’m not in my 50s but only in my 30s was when I was finally in a state where I could own a Corvette. I would’ve liked to own one back in high-school but had to settle for a decade old v6 Camaro.

    The trope of midlife crisis is stupid.

    A low to mid trim level of a high-end car, especially if it is a convertible with an automatic transmission in an ostentatious color.

    There’s no such thing as a midlife crisis it’s just you spending money on things you want Jfc

    Every man that drives a car that people say is the midlife crisis wanted car his entire life and finally admit life he can afford it. It’s just a car it doesn’t matter

    A midlife crisis is just made up by women and wives who are upset that men are spending time and money on something that’s not them

    I don’t like the Corvette stereotype. I have had a C7 for about 7 years. I love it because it’s fast and can handle like crazy. Cool car. I didn’t buy it to impress women. My wife loves it too. I could have bought a Corvette in the past, but something else caught my eye at that time. I had a deal worked out in 2007 for a C6 but at the last second I bought a Gen1 CTS-V. I loved that car. The main point is some people buy cars to have fun, not to impress.
