If buying a Vette is a sign of mid life crisis I have been having a mid life crisis then continuously since I was 17 years old when I bought my first one.

I can afford it ... why can't you?

I wanted a nice car ... what do you drive?

I was going to get a BMW, but that was so gay (nothing wrong with gay, I'm just not, so no BMW for me).

Bought my 2nd vette for my 60th birthday--and I am gay. BMWs are not gay, just ridiculously overpriced.

I just tell them I paid my house off, and had a little cash to spend.

Before my Vette I was a BMW guy.. Have owned about 11 of them. They are great and have a nice niche of enthusiasts..I was into the E30 M3's and M5's.

But when I decided I wanted soemthing American with a V8 and a stick shift there was nothing else but a vette.

WIth the power and torque, I dont even think about my BMW's. I do wish Vettes were better built.

Non-sequitur is a comic. I think he meant personal attack but very funny, like a comic strip.

But even more basic than that. You must remember how it was - of course at 20, we knew EVERYTHING and it always frustrated us that "adults" wouldn't take us seriously.

Face it, it took US growing up to figure out why
