Mid-Life Crisis

They say when a man has a Mid-Life Crisis he goes out and buys a sports car. At 61 years old I've got it bad. With the last Camaro already been built I quess I'm going to have to go to some AA meeting LOL

Hamp, hand on your heart, how many times have you posted this same picture? We get it, you have a ton of Camaros, even a Challenger, and they are all amazing, but this is beginning to look as if you were looking for some validation here...

I don't think I like the Camaro so much that I would need that many. I really like my ZL1, but with all the money sitting there, I would have to go with a little variety myself. Maybe a early 90's NSX, probably a S2000, defiantly a 72 Mach 1, an LS swapped old school Jeep, so many other cool cars out there, but hey, for each there own. Hope you're enjoying each and every one of them.

You've completed the first step towards addiction treatment, admitting that you have one. The treatment is a 12 step process.....purchasing 7 more Camaros.

Could have a GT3 if you got rid of a few of those.

Dang guys !!! easy now!!!! hamp !!! Your collection is awesome and I too have an issue with mid life crisis (well at 55) !!! But mine is in the form of guitars, and the make/manufacture is Gibson Less Paul !!! I'm a huge KISS fan from way back in my mid school days! Big fan of the original members KISS and Ace Frehley is my rock hero! I have a total of 23 Les Paul's and 11 are base on original Ace Frehley signature series Les Paul's from 1997 and the new Budokan. I have 5 of the "300" custom shop original Ace Frehley Signature Les Paul's what a dream!!! Rock ON !

Is banging cute Asian hookers a Mid-Life Crisis sort of thing? Asking for a friend.

Get a bigger garage, a smaller ego, to both.

I love my ZL1, but as stated above would rather have a variety of cars. Not sure what the point of 3 6th gen ZL1s is. And I feel like the 3 6th gen ZL1s make the 5th gen ZL1 obsolete to the point that I can't imagine I'd drive it ever. And doubly so on the 5th gen SS. I would probably never drive a 5th gen SS if I had 4 ZL1s.

So, I already have a '21 ZL1 and a '22 Supra 3.0, if I was to spend as much as you have on your collection, I'd keep my ZL1 and Supra and add a S550 GT500 and save up a bit more for a 911 Turbo S. The Turbo S is super expensive, so those four would total more than your collection, so if that wasn't allowed, I'd probably get an M5 or M3 Competition and a 2019 Z06 instead to balance the $ more equally.

Hamp, no doubt you have a ZL1 problem.

Hey, but it's your money so you can spend it however you like. And I don't think it has anything to do with a midlife crisis. You just flat out love cars. You and LeonardS here on the forum are my idols for your respective collections.

My niece's husband loves Porsches. He currently has 5, including a new 911 GT3. He also has a Corvette and a GTR. That's how he chooses to spend his money. He could have a half million dollar boat, but he loves his cars.

Heck, I'm trying to justify keeping my 1LE now that I have a ZL1. No matter what arpad_m says, you don't need validation here. You already have it.
