How old are you?

[Adam]

Some college guys sitting outside a house yelled "midlife crisis" as I was driving by about a year ago....for God sakes I'm only 25 now. I guess I'm in my golden years. The stereotype is out there but I think it stems from envy.

I was having a mid-life crisis. I am 32. My crisis finally ended after I got my Boxster after wanting one for the past 10 years. I really don't see a Porsche as mid-life crisis cars. Honestly, I usually reserve those opinions for Corvette and 350z drivers . I intend on having a few more mid-life crisis as the performance goes up and up throughout the years. This is just my first Porsche and I am not stopping now.

Guys, it's only a midlife crisis when you have a bubbleheaded bleached blonde 18 yearold sitting next to you!

Hey yeah, good idea.

My whole life has been a midlife crisis. People say "mid life crisis" like it's some kinda bad thing. Like a mental imperfection. Meanwhile we are living life while everyone else goes through the motions conforming to the norm. Safe and secure. And boring. Insatiable is right, you're a long time dead so live hard and fast. In 80 years none of this will matter anyway. So we could stay home and tend to our lawns and gardens or get out on the road to see wottle she do.

Absolutely! People also ask why you only see "older gentlemen" driving Porsches.....I simply tell them that the kind of car this is, young drivers have a short lifespan. Many buy and don't make it. Older (old farts) like me have a modicum of common sense that allows us to drive a little more successfully.

Either way? I'm enjoying the hell outta this car!!

Porsche, mid-life crisis? No, life long obsession.

Well said indeed! I'll remember that.

I've told folks that a midlife crisis can only happen if you reach midlife. I have yet to grow up, so it's a moot point.
