    I’m 49, when should I start watching for this Mid Life Crisis? Do they always involve a Corvette?

    I was in my 50’s when I had the two I owned. If that’s midlife, I’ll take it!

    Andy,

    No, I can tell you from personal experience that midlife crises do not always involve a corvette. The list of cars involved in midlife crises is almost endless...:eek::rolleyes::cool:

    Yeah, that’s not going to happen. It’s less expensive and hazardous to buy a Corvette.

    I bought my Corvette when I was 50, does that mean I am going to live to be 100???

    I gotta live to be 124 for this to be a real mid-life car, I guess.

    Lol! I was 20 when I had my first one which was about my life expectancy at the time. :rolleyes: Hard not to buy a $2500 corvette when I could even though it was a major project...

    I'll have to get a picture of them. Pretty small...but will fit in the spare tire well, unlike the Plan II slicks.

    slicks mounted. A tiny bit larger than the small front tires...and the stock steel wheels just clear the rear calipers.

    A couple inches shorter, but still look sort of OK.

    Pirates of the Coffee Shop. Probably have "Get Back" whips on their front brake levers.

    I never thought I'd see 30... let alone 68. Cars were real cheap, but most of us made a lot less that many years back.
