Guys,
My wife bought me my S2K for my 50th B-day. Anyone can say what ever they want to about it being my mid life crisis car. At the end of the day I know what it is, it is pure driving enjoyment with plenty of exhilaration for a guy that is 50 years old.

Wow! Each and every one of you have real good answers! I wish I'd have thought of them at the time. I'll be ready for my next encounter.

I especially like the comment from Helios that, "if this is a mid life crisis, I wish I'd have had mine sooner." And yes, to paraphrase Muz, I too hope I can afford to keep having one mid life crisis after another.

One of the many nice things about owning an S is being a member of this community. Thanks for the great answers. Post more if you think of them.

What's wrong with a mid life crisis? See "Middle Age Crazy" with Bruce Dern and Ann-Margaret.

a business contact/buddy of mine's wife, had something to say to him just about every day after they saw me in my new S2000, about how I didn't need a car like that and didn't have any business getting it.....Must be a mid-life crisis compensation.......
Then one day a couple weeks later she called and told me how he was out of town and if I would give her a ride in my S2000, she would give me a ride afterwards........
Told her no thanks, I'm way too over the hill to enjoy the ride she was offering and besides after she got out I'd be all day trying to clean up her slime trail offa my leather seats.

that's sooo wrong...

but damn funny

i'll have to use that one, though i don't think anyone will be asking me if it's my mid-life crisis car. it's usually more along the lines of, "so how much did daddy pay for that?"

oh well
