Thanks for your comment, it gave me a "warm and tingly feeling"
Age is really only a number, however I'm told if you don't use it, you may well lose it.
Incidently my wife (aged 69) has just been chosen to represent Australia in the womens 70's tennis team competing in Florida USA this Oct. and I'm very proud of her especially since it's only 4 years since she had surgery for bowel cancer.
Thanks again,
Cheers.

I voted in my wife's age category since it is her car.

I'm building a Factory Five Roadster, for me it is a much better mid-life crisis car.

Just rolled the clock on 26. As far as the mid life crisis is concerned, it is more like a quarter life bargaining chip. The wife says to me, "Y don't you get it...you deserve it for working so hard on your masters and working...." I figure, man this is awesome how can I say no.

The day I get the car she says to me, "Okay you have your baby.....now where is mine"

Bleh...I fully reject any "midlife crisis" talk or stares! Having meager income and other priorities like house payments, kids college education, providing for family health problems, I was finally able to save up enough for a little treat.

If you are in a position to afford the 'nice' things early in life, great. But better late than never. Vroom-vroom !

I got mine when I was 29... but barely, I turned 30 that same month.

Trying to get my mid-life crisis going early, I suppose.

30th birthday present from my wife. As of now, I have scheduled three midlife crisis'. I started the first one this year.
