A "sports car" mid-life crisis is a lot better than a "girlfriend" mid-life crisis. Much safer in many ways.

Talking Mid-Life love affair

I prefer to think of the Z as a life-long, ongoing love affair! It is cool as long as it's the same lady sharing the other seat!

I'm 44 and have been "Z-ing" for 25 years now...and hopefully 50 more!

Z on!

70 zcar (25 years and counting....)
78 zcar (autocross)
84 zcar (turbo driver)
03 zcar (the saga continues)

People at work said the same thing when I got my Z...of course, I got LASIK, cut my hair differently, got a personal trainer, and grew a goatie at the same time, so they think the whole thing is a mid-life crisis. But I'm 27 - I don't think it's a crisis at all

Now I'm lookin' good, feelin' good, and drivin' fast.

Thumbs up Me Too

I am 53 and an Engineer. So I got the same thing. I went one more and took a high performance driving class and they now know for sure I have gone over the edge. I loved the hell out of the experience.

Thumbs up Count me in!

I am also 53. When I first met my second and current wife (married 25 years) I went and bought a 1974 260Z. Incredible car for its time. I think it cost me about $5000. After almost 30 years of BMWs, it seem appropriate to come full circle and end up with another Z! Great car but now my wife is getting nervous .

Im having a quarter life crisis... is that a problem?

I dont see what wrong with having a midlife crisis, If I get a nice car everytime I have a "crisis" I think Im gonna have them yearly.

Driving the Z is all about having fun, and the older you get, the more fun you should have. When you're too old to have fun, you're dead, just don't die in your Z having too much fun! Enjoy your Z!
