Apparently, my first MLC occurred when I was 30 and bought an Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce. Twenty years and 2 sports cars later, I cannot help but smile when people refer to my 328 as a MLC car.

BTW, do I get some kind of prize for having a clean 328 and colonoscopy?

 

weird, i'm trying to get rid of hair on my behind.

 

No worries Will, just don't marry a woman your age http://psychologytoday.com/articles/pto-20070622-000002.xml

"Many believe that men go through a midlife crisis when they are in middle age. Not quite. Many middle-aged men do go through midlife crises, but it's not because they are middle-aged. It's because their wives are. From the evolutionary psychological perspective, a man's midlife crisis is precipitated by his wife's imminent menopause and end of her reproductive career, and thus his renewed need to attract younger women. Accordingly, a 50-year-old man married to a 25-year-old woman would not go through a midlife crisis, while a 25-year-old man married to a 50-year-old woman would, just like a more typical 50-year-old man married to a 50-year-old woman. It's not his midlife that matters; it's hers. When he buys a shiny-red sports car, he's not trying to regain his youth; he's trying to attract young women to replace his menopausal wife by trumpeting his flash and cash."

Interesting. I guess since I am 20 years old, I need to be going for jailbait.

 

Guess I am hitting it early, getting a 348 spider for pretty much my 35th birthday. Course based on family history, I probably am about midlife...

Oh well, enjoy it while you can...

 

When I got my 308 six years ago, I had a female friend say, 'Can we say MLC!' I did not know how to respond to her. She was so very wrong. I had lusted after one for many years, always thinking I could never afford to own a Ferrari. I just smiled and said, 'You might think that.....but the truth lies elsewhere.'

 

I bought mine because I'd always wanted one. 7 cars later, I still like them, although everything I drive it, I'm wondering if I'm going to jail.

Geez!, that's what it's called. I think I've had since I was six.

 

A fancy sports car is usually the sign of a real mid life crisis for those that arent interested in them from a young age.

Close friend of mine just bought an Elise and its a total midlife crisis...hes 42 getting divorced.. but the key is ..hes not into cars ! So why and Elise ?? lol...

Myself, Ive been into cars as long as I can remember and have owned sports cars as long as I can remember yet Ive been hearing the 'midlife crisis' thing since I was in my late 20s.

It all depends on the person.

 

My cock-smoking mates here were telling me I was having an EARLY mid life crisis when i bought my 348 at 25 years old, 3 years ago.

They all know I have been into Ferraris since I was knee high to a grasshopper, but they still gave me plenty of crap about it. Bastards!!

ain't it about time to get a new pic pap?

 

That pic is an oldie.......but a goodie.

 

Took my 308 over to a friend's house last week....haven't seen him in 9 years...he opens his garage and sitting there is an Atomic Orange 2008 Vette...sweet car... he said, "everyone says this is because of my mid-life crisis" (he is about to turn 40), "but that's not it at all, I don't think they understand that most people can't afford this type of stuff until they are older and that is why we buy such cool toys around our (his, I am a bit younger and bought my F car to satisfy my boy-hood dream) age." Of course his garage is attached to his huge custom home that backs to a 60 acre lake etc... so he could have bought the Vette or a Ferrari a while ago, but we all have our priorities.....

 

First MLC, age 36, wife recuperating in hospital , went out and bought my first airplane, then bought a second one 10 years later, then came the cars and boats. Life is short, so enjoy it while you can. Still married to her - 38 years and counting - LOL

 

I've noticed that most married people with kids start moaning about "growing old". Wonder if it has anything to do with their spouses getting fat or their kids acting like irresponsible idiots and wearing them down?

 

MLC is a word made up by women to make men who after paying dues all their life found the means to get the kinda car they've wanted since they were eight years old.

It's a word designed to put you on the defensive side when the experience as well as the words used should be positive.

 

Probably both. Solution: don't get married or have kids Bonus: the money saved will buy plenty of cars.
