For my midlife crisis I bought a beast of a pc. Harley Davidsons or sports cars are out of the budget.

If motorcycles are an indicator of a mid life crisis I've been having one since I was old enough to drive.

Honestly, I think you've made a good point whether you realize it or not. A midlife crisis isn't really about getting or doing things in an effort to appear younger. Not generally at least. It's things a lot of people have already been interested in but didn't have the money to get until they were mid career. But now a lot of people mid career still don't have that disposable income.

I'm not a sports car guy and never have been, but I love working on motorcycles so I buy busted up ones and fix them from time to time. I was divorced years and years ago so I don't need a new wife. I decided years ago if I ever started losing my hair I'd just shave my head. I've always engaged in risky behavior as long as I'm the only person I'm putting at risk. I buy nicer clothes but that's just because I can afford them.

Have you looked into Miata/mx-5? It's cheap and far more exhilarating than any other vehicle I've ever driven. I've had corvettes, wrxs, a trans am and a gro. Nothing is as much of a thrill as that little car, and it's cheaper than the others, as well.

Thanks for the point, but it seems like we are playing in entirely different leagues here :p Should my situation ever change, what the hell, I'll remember your comment.

Personally I'd go with the Thundercougarfalconbird.

I really want one, but I am 197 cm tall, I don't think I can fit in one.

Oof, ya might wanna try, I'm 193cm and I just fit barely. Depending on your build, ya might fit.
