Had to get to over 50 to really enjoy the Boxster. I had a 924 15 years ago....not the same at all!!

Just passed the big 4....0 had boxsters for the last 4 years and feel like a 20 year old when driving, well like a safe twenty years old!

Hi,

I'm 52. The Mid-Life Crisis is such a cliche'. The thing that bugs me is that as my hair has grayed, and my equator slightly expanded, I drive my Boxster or Esprit and I see the occaisional looks of younger people, usually women, and can just tell they think I'm mid-lifing. They think I'm driving the sporty car to compensate.

But, they don't realize I've owned and been driving these type of Cars since I was 18 (one of which I still own) - a 34 year long Mid-Life Crisis, OK, I guess that may deserve a look or two...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I am 46, but no fair to call this a mid-life crisis, I have owned a Porsche since 35.

I do get alot of "Ohh your in a mid life crisis?" all I can say is KMA, I have wanted these cars since 15?

Regards

Yes indeed. "Midlife crisis" is such a misused phrase. There is no crisis, but I am midlife. No, I wasn't able to raise children and have a 2 seater. If that generates a crisis (becoming an "empty-nester) than call 911 is my response!

I tried the 924 with kids, it was a royal pain in the arse. My wife actually emailed me at work with the following:"Honey, why don't you make VW eat the (POS) Touareg and buy yourself a Porsche like you've always wanted? It would be nice to do it before one of us retired!!"

I called the dealership that day and the rest....is history!
