the new vette is looking pretty good
In your defense, the most frequently bought car when a guy is suffering "mid-life crisis" in undoubtedly a vette.....
but, in my defense, i have had at least one since 1973
(bought the 67 in 97, and have my original 73 still)

Dad mentioned a few months ago he was going to sell it and get a Cherokee. I asked him the other day and he said he's keeping it since he only drives it once or twice a week. However, the REASON he only drives it once or twice a week is because it's so damned impractical and they have to take my Mom's car everywhere. She's none to pleased as the miles that are going on HER car. :P
My Dad did the opposite. He had a LeMans in 1966, then the Riviera in 1972 but when he hit middle age, he bought the Eldorado, then an Audi 4000 and then a 5000. Once he hit 55 or so was when he went back to the sports cars - 914, RX7, 300ZX and now the Vette. The last 3 have been convertibles and he swears he'll never NOT own another convertible. He drives down the roads in Marietta and Atlanta with his wiener dog up on the door with her ears flying.
At least I know where I get my love for driving from.
