This would be a great thread for MFBarnes to show off his matching Bugatti Chirons!
As for me, my current auto crush is the F-Type
I bleed Maroon and I wipe burnt orange!

I'm a strapping 47. My current grocery getter:

That's been my daily driver for the last 7+ years and I still love her.
I didn't consider it a mid life crisis choice, but I'm 40 so maybe. I got a Tesla Model 3 Performance last summer and it's by far the fastest car I've ever owned. It's a blast to drive and it's fun shocking people who haven't been in one with the acceleration

Nice! Had an 07 XKR followed by a 2010 version. For whatever reason, the 07 felt far stronger that the '10 even though it had significantly lower HP and torque. Maybe it was the gearing. 07 on the left. Ended up selling the '10 for 2k above what I paid... thanks COVID!

I'm 28 and since I was a kid I have always wanted a single cab dually diesel, well I wouldn't call it a mid life crisis vehicle but I don't want to buy it later in life and would rather enjoy it at a much younger age, so I went ahead and pulled the trigger.
Does it ride like a covered wagon?

I laughed. So true
What are your thoughts on it?
Debating on moving on from my 95 Cobra to either a 2010-11 GT500 or a Terminator Cobra. 49 in October so mid-life crisis car maybe? My wife gave me the green light (whoop) but has yet to see the price tags, lol.
At 56, I just bought a Bronco Wildtrak Sasquatch. I love it! I've added skid plates, getting a winch installed, and going on a week long trip to Moab to go get it dirty. Also going to the Ford Off-rodeo in Texas after Thanksgiving.
A few years ago at 44 I bought a 2004 Aprilia Tuono. Been riding for 15 years, but never owned a sport bike or an Italian motorcycle. And I love it.
Mine was a F-250 Tremor. Always thought having a diesel would be fun, but the thing rode like the biggest POS ever so I only kept it a week and went back to an F-150. After just hearing how liberal the Ford Foundation is, it might be time to ditch it too.

The unfortunate reality is that all of those foundations started by 19th and 20th century capitalists were ruined by the time they reach the 3rd generation. The original visionaries that seeded them are gone, and their entitled, frivolous descendants run them into the ground.
Just turned 36, for my midlife crisis I picked up two vehicles I've been looking at for a long time.
In the US, a Yamaha Tenere 700- After getting some experience I'm hoping to do the Trans America Trail. I love this thing so far.
In Costa Rica, 25 Toyota Fortuner- It's a Hilux based turbo diesel SUV. I'm building it out as an overland vehicle and planning to take the family around Central America. I'm putting a roof rack and underbody armor on this week.

1985 Porsche 911 wide body
People think I'm an idiot or something, because all I do is cut lawns for a living.
36 and I cracked. I started looking at 911s and landed on a van.
Now 38 and it's been my best daily to-date. No ragrets.

This was my 40's toy when I lived in Virginia. Sold it when I moved back to Texas 14 years ago.
At 44…
50th anniversary (and 50,000 miles) at 50
nm, I think I'm too middle aged to get Imgur to work anymore.
It's about to be a 1996 Candy Apple Red Mustang Cobra, tan convertible top, tan leather interior. Less than 4,000 miles on it, and sitting in its garage at the home of my childhood friend's mother.

Just got into riding about 1.5 years ago. Picked this back up in March and consider it my mid-life crisis purchase at age 36.
Hopefully the cold front that blows through tonight will help keep temps down. It's been way too hot to ride lately.

Had a Mystic colored one for a while back in the day. Fun car. Wish I had held onto it. For those not familiar. Not mine, I would have to go scan in a physical photo.
Have wanted one since elementary school book fairs. Had a few posters of them. This car has turned more heads than anything I've ever driven. Owned it for a couple of years. Had a blast.
Really enjoying my Kawasaki
Sick. I always lusted over SN95 Cobras. Chrome Yellow and Bright Atlantic Blue 1998, 1996 Mystic, and 1995 Cobra R.

4 teen boys in private school - I can't afford a midlife crisis.
When I was paying $50k/year to send 2 daughters to swanky private girls school in Sydney, my daily driver was a 2012 Jeep Compass. Don't miss that financial crunch at all.

I'm not looking for a vehicle that starts at over 200k.
Another that scares me after driving Raptors for 7 years is that I ignore potholes and speed bumps, curbs, and most other obstacles. Not sure how I would adjust to a vehicle with low profile tires. I'd hate to have to replace one of those rims.
Yep, I hit a massive pothole going over the train tracks in Kosse, TX in my 7-Series a couple weeks ago. It was so loud, I thought I'd broken something.
I would have completely ignored it in my Jeep Wrangler, Ford Expedition, etc.
MG's weren't really on my radar as a kid, but old Corvettes were. Went to a local British car show and saw several MGAs that sorta resembled 56-57 Vettes (for a fraction of the price) - so I ended up getting this one. Kept it for about 10 years and sold it for a little more than I paid for it, so not a horrible financial decision.
My MLC vehicle (52 yo) arrived an hour ago. I will post more Rule 1 pics Friday when I am up there.
This thing is awesome.
Is this a '25 GT Premium convertible? I'm perpetually confused by Mustangs. I see one like this and it looks badass, but they never seem to match the pics I see online.
