Mid-life crisis car?

Same as buzy, too old when I got mine for mid-life crisis. Late-life maybe, but I don't care what jealous people say! :P

The coupes don't seem to have the same "perceived image". I think it's the convertible thing that can create the wrong impression to the ignorant. :roll:

That's because the Coupe is simply perceived, by none Z4 owners, as just another hatchback, that happens to look mighty fine good. :wink:
 
I wish I could remember whether I had a mid-life crisis. Do I come here often? :roll:
 
It's just something for people to say, an ice-breaker if you like as Nictrix suggests. It really is a very old saying though. The true clue to a mid-life crisis is when you start running and if you then join a running club, you are definitely having an affair. :D

Really?
If I took up running I'd be too knackered for an affair!

And that’s just getting to the car to drive there :lol:
 
I ran every day for years and know I have knackered knees.... buy a Z its less painful :thumbsup:
 
I don't know - but if there is maybe I've already got the car for one. :lol:
 
Don't get mid life crisis comments, then I am only 30's! I do often get from the neighbour/s comments like 'you and that car' and 'washing that car *AGAIN*?'. It's always with that undertone of have you got nothing better to do or bit sad always messing with your car. Reality is I don't even wash it that often probably compared to some, maybe once a month or when it's really dirty. I do the odd bit of maintenance though more often.

Strange really, I don't walk past, glance at them and go, 'oh doing gardening *AGAIN*?' or pop in their house and say 'oh watching Netflix *AGAIN*?' like I would care what they do with their time. Always polite about it of course and make a joke out of it, think some people find car's as a hobby a strange thing for some reason. :roll:
 
Strange hobby is origami not cars - I find people who have gardening as a hobby strange, all work and no enjoyment that I can see :rofl:
 
You're right - it's not even cars as a hobby!

My allocated parking spaces are in an area shared by 10 to 12 houses and there is only 1 neighbour I ever see doing anything to his car.

The rest seem to have no interest in their cars whatsoever - never check oil & other fluids and just rely on the MOT to identify blown bulbs, worn-out wiper blades, etc. :headbang:

But then they probably wouldn't have a clue how to even do those sort of basics. The sooner they have autonomous EVs the better for the rest of us!

Very good point. The next door neighbour I eluded to at the start of this was trimming the grass borders on his postage stamp front garden with a pair of scissors just before he made the comment. I missed the chance to say something clever about that (it wouldn't have worked cos he's got the personality of a wheelie bin). And his wife is ugly! :lol:
