That is how vehicles are marketed. What defines you as a person. Why do you think the classic mid life crisis thing is for men to get a sports car or motorcycle.

I drive a S10 with 212K miles because it is paid for and can haul a deer out.

“Why do you think the classic mid life crisis thing is for men to get a sports car or motorcycle.”

Don’t get me wrong, I understand the love affair with vehicles. I love cars. But, I don’t see myself as being defined by my car. I don’t let image define my need. I needed a minivan, and I thought anyone who would think less of me because I drove one was not playing with a full deck.

As a driver, I prefer cars. They are more nimble, and just more enjoyable to drive.

I've always driven a 2-seat sports car as my personal vehicle, since long before "mid-life".

I just like driving a car that goes where I point it and stops where I want it.

I also prefer to stay safe through maneuverability rather than armor plate.

What does my car say about me?
