I have owned Sports cars since I bought my first car in 1974, a '67 Mustang Convertible. Since then I have owned MG's, Triumphs' a Dodge Charger, a Mazda RX-7 Turbo, a Nissan 300ZX TT and a couple of BMW M3s. I'm currently on my second Corvette, a 2013 Night Race Blue Metallic Gran Sport 3lt++. If this is a mid-life crisis then I been in crisis for almost 40 years! I'm 56.
My kids are grown, no college loans! Why not!
Oh, stay away from the car wash, your tires are too wide!

Congratulations on getting the car you wanted.
I got my first Vette 18 months ago at 57. Truth be told, it was only about 10 days of wanting a Corvette before I bought one. Surprised my wife no end. I lusted after many other cars, but never a Vette. Then I rode in a friend's 1966 427 vert. Didn't like it all but suspected a C6 might be OK. Then I found a CG coupe and the next thing you know ...
When people asked if it was a mid-life crisis, I just say "Yes" and smile.
(For a mid-life crisis, you either get a sports car or a mistress, and the last thing I needed is another woman in my life with an opinion. The Vette and I agree on everything.)

Congrats on finally getting a vette 
I say those comments are just due to jealousy.

Enjoy it! You will have comments from everyone! From jealousy to GRATS MAN! From comments like "He probably is is debt out the azz!" To, " Thats is a sweet car!". Good or bad, it's YOU! It's YOU who opens thats door, fires her up and puts her in drive. It's YOU who parks her and walks away with a quick glance over your shoulder thinking... WOW! It's all YOU! Enjoy, drive, and grin! GRATS MAN!

I really don't care what other people say about my vette, positive or negative, as long as they leave it alone. Mid-life crisis, of course it was for me since my first yellow vette was when I was in my early 40's. Hope you just enjoy the car and can forget about what others think. Have fun!
