I bought my mid-life crisis mobile instead of getting a mistress. Far cheaper in the long run.

Funny, you think Oprah, Inc. would be aversed to pre-judging people or profiling them based on what they drive.

What a load of crap!
A friend of mine (a bit older than me) saw me getting into my Firehawk and said, "I should get a mid-life crisis car."
I said, "I'm not having a mid-life crisis. I just never grew up."

Anyone weak-minded enough to want Oprah to explain to them anything and then tell them how they should feel about it has no business driving. And yes, there are plenty of them out there.

That quack apparently hasn't ever owned or let alone driven a fine German example of perfection (except the ims part )
He sounds about as competent as that "MANTRAitor" Dr. Phil.

If you are a single guy and you buy a high mileage 97 boxster that needs a lot of work like my car did five years ago, it might take away so much time and money from the dating ritual that a woman would be turned off by it.
But to throw all single guys driving boxsters under the bus like that is a gross generalization and overstatement.
But the statement did the trick, didn't it?
Without it in the article, none of us would have read it or wasted five minutes of our lives reading and writing these comments.

How about the guy who's stuck with the wife who wanted the Boxster so we could race it in autocross events?

You remember Oprah... she's the one who gave a way all those Ponitac G6's. Oops sorry, Oprah didn't "give" anything away. GM donated the cars to her show. Why would Oprah gove something away, when she can give away someone else's stuff instead.
I did not buy my car due to a mid-life crisis.... I bought it to compensate for a small "ego".

I would say "Eat me Oprah" but I'm afraid she would take it literally!
