Kevin,

Why does it matter if you are having a 'mid-life crisis' anyway? Do you find the label disagreable for some reason?

Hell, I joke about it (I'm 38). I have been shopping for a motocycle, and I tell my wife that I am going to get a lic. plate that reads, 'MIDLIFR'. As a guy you spend the first 2 decades of your work life getting pounded with the idea that you should be responsible and boring. I think a lot of guys get to the late thirtys and say 'To hell with THAT'.

Get an AIR COOLED Porsche. Even if it turns out to be not your thing, you will have owned one of the fines automobiles ever made. A real piece of art. I have not owned one in 2 years, and I still stop and stare when they go buy. I will certainly have another in the future.

Oh yeah, btw. Those women who say its not cool? Some women will always hate a guy with a sports car, but so what? There are plenty of other gals who LOVE old Porsches. In fact here in Seattle I see a fair number of women driving them.

If you have the means, GO FOR IT. I have zero regrets about owning my 1982 SC, other than I bought a Targa in one of the rainest places in the country.
