Thinking about having me a mid life crisis...

[Glamrock]

Not sure I’ll be able to get permission from the Mrs....but I’ve planted the seed!

I present the Lotus Elise for your viewing pleasure







And the soft top version

[samnsara]

1. do it! do it!

[Glamrock]

3. I'm trying...

The problem with super cars is upkeep cost. I could get a late model Porsche or something, but the maintenance costs are just too prohibitive. This Lotus is built around a Toyota drivetrain. I could get it repaired anywhere! Mrs. Glam, while leaning towards no, is actually entertaining the idea because of that selling point.

2. Go with the vintage look and the Super 7.

[Glamrock]

4. I've been looking at Caterham 7's actually

But they’re even more impractical than the Elise.

[safeinOhio]

5. Practical and Rock Star don't go together.

That's the whole point. Don't need no Prius.

[Glamrock]

10. Quite the good point!

[WheelWalker]

6. Never miss the opportunity for a mid-life crisis!

[Karadeniz]

7. Boy, did I luck out! My husband's mid life crisis only involved a Model A... whew!

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. Hell, why go small

If your gonna have a crisis, have a full blown one.

11. Ooooof!

That’s gorgeous! Just a tiny bit out of my price range though...

$30k Lotus or $3mil Toyota? Hmmm? Decisions decisions...

[Ferrets are Cool]

12. ...

LMFAO Glad you got a kick outta that.

13. My wife and I bought a Nissan 350z back in 08.

It’s probably the best car we’ve ever owned. We also have had minivans for the dogs and anything else that we need to haul. The Z car was our date night car. 350s are all pretty old now though since they haven’t been made for a while. The 370z is a nice car. The maintenance has never been too expensive. We still have our 350 and it runs well. It’s been from Miami to Boston and all over New England. We brought it back down to FL and then drove it back up to NC and went cruising around the mountains up there. My boss has a Super 7. He drives it around during the winter down here in South Florida. It’s way too hot to drive in the summer months. Anyway, I recommend looking into the 370. The only time our 350 broke down was when the battery died. It’s super fast and the handling is amazing with the right tires. Good luck with whatever you end up getting. Have fun!

14. Thanks scoots!

Good advice! Nissan makes a great car. We had a 95’ pathfinder for years. Loved it!

[mopinko]

15. i had a rusted out 240 for a while.

loved that thing, but unibody is not a good idea.

[MyOwnPeace]

16. The Lotus is great.....

a bit more exotic, but a great handling car.
However, you would NOT MISS with a new Miata!

[Glamrock]

19. Been looking at the Alpha Romeo 4c too...

Little bit more than what I want to spend though...

[MyOwnPeace]

21. Alpha's should last forever......

because they only spend half of their time on the road - the rest of the time is in the shop for repairs!
A VERY good driving car - when they go.......l.

[Glamrock]

23. Hahahaha!

Yes, so I’ve heard!

[Wawannabe]

17. I want one of those new HUMMERS!

Crab crawl and all!

[Glamrock]

18. Haven't seen it.

What’s the model?

[Wawannabe]

20. It's their new electric model. Hummer EV

Can’t post pics but here’s a link.

Oh, and 1000 HP!
0-60 mph in 3 seconds
Infinity roof!

Drool droool droooooooool!
I’d even trade in Sarge (my Hummer H3).

22. One small consideration...

A friend went through her crisis and bought a cool sports car. However, she had problems getting in and out of the very low-slung car. Eventually had to get rid of it because it progressively got harder and harder. She was so bummed!

[Glamrock]

24. That's why (not the only reason of course)

I’m trying to do it now while I still have some passing resemblance to youth...

[jmbar2]

28. good plan!

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may...

31. Probably better in the original Persian...

Come, fill the Cup, and in the Fire of Spring The Winter Garment of Repentance fling: The Bird of Time has but a little way To fly --- and Lo! the Bird is on the Wing.

[jmbar2]

32. That's beautiful!

Thanks for sharing.
