Reverse midlife crisis!
 Had a reverse midlife crisis after my 36th Birthday in January. Decided I needed to find something practical and useful. Last Saturday, I took the plunge and bought a fairly base model '17 F-150 (XL, STX). Love my new truck. It's been a fun 6 or 7 years, but I think my Raider is enough fun for me.

Ford does make a killer shade of blue.
I hope it's better ergonomically then my 2016 Explorer Interceptor. I'd like to punch the interior designer in the face. The pedals are off set to the right, so I have to turn my feet and the "dead pedal" is bumped over to the right as well for a hump in the floorboard. It can't be for the front tire as it's not that far back. Terrible design. |

I hope to never have the reverse moment......turned 50 last August. Have had 2 Camaros and WS-6 as my daily driver since '93. Looking at a "practical" car if we make a move on a Grand Sport with the Z07 package. Wife loves trucks and SUV's, so we have it covered.

I ordered my '10 SS at 67 eight years ago. 74 now and still enjoying it every time
I take it out. I agree with frankwjr, the Camaro definitely turns back the clock with each drive. I can't imagine ever letting it go.

I 'think' I went through my mid-life crisis at the end of 2014 through the beginning of last year. I started off building a mancave, then pimping out the garage, then buying a Harley, and then finished it off by buying a ZL1. Hopefully, I wait a little longer before I tell the wife we are going to be buying some dirt bikes

56 here and have been accused of having a few mid-life crises since turning 30, the last time was when I purchased my SS
Fortunately, since getting married some 37 years ago, we've always managed to have at least one sensible/practical vehicle and one not so much (a toy)
