But I knew that would happen even though I am past what any sane person would call middle aged.

Out here in San Diego, women think that if you are young, married, and driving a vette you must be a jigalo, player, unfaithful husband, etc. Whatever. Married men around here are supposed to drive ridiculifted Ford trucks with snow tires and a drop down hitch for their 60' weekend warriors for their vette powered long travel dunebuggies.

My DD is a 2000 Dodge Caravan with 256K on the clock. I NEVER thought I would be caught dead driving a minivan but it really is handy. It is my work vehicle. You didn't actually hear me say this but "I like driving it". Not as much as the Vette though.
I hate that label - MLC. What are they gonna call us at 60? 70? 80? 90? 00? ? The wife says I still think I'm 25 and my answer always is "yes i do".

When I got my 01 my wife was telling everybody that I was having a mid life crisis. I reminded her that I had one when we married and that I gave it up when the kids came along because we could not afford 3 cars at that time.
I have always loved Vettes, The only thing that changed in all these years is I am getting older.
Still even now every time I turn on that car it does the same for me

Haven't been accused of that, but really don't care what others think. I bought the car for me because I wanted to.

I'm actually on my second mid life crisis, or maybe a third? Damn! with this Alzheimers I have to refer to the ball to remember the shift pattern from time to time.

I unno, its the stereotype that comes with a legend. Sorta like the way asians are always "supposed" to like techno music and Import-crap and ricers. That's not neccessarily true.
I'm asian. I've been here since july :|
Edit: Didn't know that would've been starred out. Sorry!
