    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.

                I'm 37 and still in my prime. 40 is only middle-aged if you plan on living to 80. I say you still have a decade before you hit middle-age, but it's all relative anyway.

                      Hah. I turn 0x30 this summer. I had a sports car for a while, until I totalled it out. I'll get another one someday. At the moment, I've got a kid about to enter college, and that sorts your financial realities. I cling to my youth by making my body do all the things it should have done when it was younger: mainly running, biking, and lifting weights. And when it complains, I tell it to STFU and soldier.

                            Why isn't it realistic? As long as you don't stress out too much and pending any accidents, you should do okay. 200 is my goal.

                              I used to think that way. Once you get a little older and start to notice how your body starts wearing out, you'll feel less immortal.

                                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.

                                  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).

                                    you should do okay. 200 is my goal.

                                    Who wants to live to 200? By that age, you'll not get dates, you'll look like a date.

                                      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.

                                      ROTFL - I used to tell my wife I'd swap her at 38 for two 19 year olds. Now, I can't think of anything worse.

                                        Mid-life crisis. Isn't that a second childhood? I'd have to come out of my first childhood before I even considered a second one.

                                          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).

                                          Sadly, it's my own pool now, so all the fringe benefits are gone.
