Mid-life crisis

Of so if getting a Mustang means a mid life crisis for people that have not had them, what do those of us that have had them since high school have to go get? A GT40 or 427 Cobra maybe? Can't wait, but I better start saving for it now.

Possible you are Randy... :-) My midlife crisis has gone on for 10 years now... ( gotta love it )

How can I have a Mid-Life crisis if I refuse to leave my Childhood! :>)

I moved up to a Cobra. I'm 35, cough...38...cough, and always said I wanted my "mid-life crisis car" while I could enjoy it. I don't want be that 70 year old guy driving a Vette, if you know what I mean.

Oh yeah. Its fun to spank them in the stang. Boy do they get pissed off lol

I'm going to be buying Mustangs until I can't get out of them anymore. ;-)

It's not getting out of my Mustang I'd be worried about... It's not being able to get into one that would destroy me!!! BUHHAHAHAHAHA

David

does this mean that I'm only going to live to 46?

I bought my first mustang when I was a sophmore in college. I still have that car and drive it regularly. Two years ago I got my midlife crisis car, a Sunbeam Tiger. My wife says its better the Tiger than a mistress.

Erich

I'm gonna have to remember that one. :)

I don't know..I thinkif you can get both ( the mistress and the mustang) that'd be pretty good.

Actualy I have found that having a wife and a mistress just means you know have two women to dissapoint on a daily basis instead of just one!

I'm 49, myself. Welcome, you old fart.

Back in '93, I bought my 5.0 and friends immediately started with that "mid-life crisis" crap. 1) I was only 39 then. 2) It was my third Mustang.

I've had Mustangs for more years than I haven't.

Let them have their fun - it's only jealousy, pure and simple.

Thanks! I've learned a lot already just reading this group. I know virtually nothing about cars...never cared for 'em...just got me from point a to point b.

Until this Mustang, that is. LOL Now I'm going to figure out how to go from the stock 15" tires and wheels to 16" or 17" ones.

That's what I figure. I'm loving driving my Mustang! I'm already trying to figure out how my next one will be a GT or Cobra. ;-)

Another old fart chimes in - just make sure the bolt pattern's the same. If you don't get too radical with offsets and widths, you should have no problem.

That's exactly why I bought my LX - approaching 40, I definitely needed a V8 fix. It was my first one. All 6s and 4s before that.

Bingo!

After a year or two, you can gradually work your way up. ;)

Thanks for the advice. I have a *lot* of research to do, and money to save ;), before I attempt this.

Yeah...after driving an '89 F150 I'm not used to the power that even the

Welcome to the insanity.. er club. I owned my first Mustang when I was 21.. a great 1970 Mach 1 with a 351 Cleveland. Obviously that puts me in my mid 50's now but I have yet to have a "mid life crisis". Maybe owning hot cars all your life is the best preventitive! May your Mustang keep you young at heart.

That's right cause there wives won't let them buy a Mustang and then MAKE them drive a mini-van!
