'us middle aged guys'

Saw this phrase on the corvette thread below. I turn 40 tomorrow. I have no intention of buying a sports car tho ( heck, I just bought a prius ). I'm clinging to my youth by going to rock festivals, buying expensive guitars and playing them whenever I get a chance.

Ha ha! I tell people I am
0x28. I think it's tougher on a lady to hit the 40's. Men just seem to get more interesting and handsome!"Don't you know that women are the only works of art?" - Don Henley, Driving With Your Eyes Closed

After my wife totaled the Grand Cherokee, we replaced it with a used Infiniti I35 w/sport package. At my age (51), I need heated seats to keep me comfy while I'm accelerating from 0 to 60 in 5.5 seconds...though, now that I've put 99,500 miles on it since April '06, it's not quite that spritely anymore :(

Swimming is probably an ideal form of exercise for middle-aged types. No impact, moderately aerobic, and if you pick the right pool and the right time of day, 'entertaining' (wink-wink, nudge-nudge).

*nods* My wife is now into her second month of water-based physical therapy, and beginning regular exercise sessions on top of that. I'll be joining her within the next week or two. If we could figure out how to (affordably) heat our pool, we'd be in it year round instead of just June-August.

I'm 38 next month and can't wait to see what form my mid-life crisis will take. Hope it's a fast car, motorbike or young blonde and not train sets, leather trousers or cosmetic surgery.

The fast car is nice, the motorbike was old and spent 90% of the time in repairs until I gave up, and the young blonde (and younger redhead) each had their issues, but were a lot of fun :)

I'm turning 26 next month and I'm already falling into despair. Time won't roll back and I'm still very far from having enough money to buy my dream car (Porsche Carrera)! And when I do I will be too old to enjoy it :sigh: Oh, happy birthday by the way. When I get to your age I will probably be on the mental hospital, I'm not mentally strong enough. Fábio

LMAO...Last year I dragged with a Carrera on my way to work...naturally, he dusted me the way I dust Mustangs, but it was fun...and he was older than I am...keep your nervous system in good health, and you'll get your chance.

May God listen to you and hopefully someday I will get my chance. Everytime I spot on a Carrera my stomach gets all funny and my heart accelerates. And I think to myself: "Will I ever sit on that car?". I surely hope that the chance comes before I get glass bones or my nervous system's health make me go insane. I will surely try to chill a little. By the way, with what car can dust a Mustang (5.1 Liter engine)? My humble GM Astra (2.0 Liter Engine 132hp) won't even see a Mustang's dust as it will already have faded away. Here in Brazil sports car are for very few because taxes are too high. One Nissan 350Z costs about R$200,000.00 (U$90.000), imagine how much it is for a Carrera. Well, thanks for your words, they made me not loose my faith.

I turn 0x40 in three years. I'm fitter (still canoe, cycle, ski, ice skate, walk and do Scottish Country Dancing) than I was at 0x28 (well, my right arm was stronger then from drinking British pints and Oktoberfest liters). The only thing that reminds me of my age is the arthritis in my knees, but I had that at age 0x20, too... Happy belated birthday! I'm catching up on the CP stuff missed on the skiing holiday (Austria).
