I had my 1st mid life buy at 36 ('96 coupe)...again at 40 ('71 LT-1 convertible)...and most recently at 45 ('05 C6 Vert)...now 46 (semi retired).

And the happiest I've ever been in life! I have a great wife, the money is there (the 30+ years of hard work is finally paying off!), I have plenty of toys, good friends, nice home and good health!
