Good for you
did you have fun in the car because it was always parked up waiting for a recovery truck? 😜I'm in a similar camp too. I have reached a point where such a purchase is feasible for me and it's probably the only really extravagant purchase I have ever made. Although, I guess my screen-accurate Darth Vader costume falls into this category... Let's call it the second extravagant purchase.
To properly date myself here I will share a picture of my first British sports car - my high school ride - purchased used but only a few years old. Man, I had fun in that car - but the Emira is going to rock my world. Wait - maybe I'm on my 3rd extravagant purchase... Nevermind.

Young at Heart yes. Mid life crisis NO i have had a mid life crisis since I was 35Good idea! Needs a couple of other options:
These are not mutually exclusive with the other options!
- Young at heart
- Mid life crisis
Yeah, I will confess to having more than my share of roadside stories, including an epic debacle having an alternator crap out on I-95 in Lumberton, North Carolina and another involving an emergency brake job in my brother's base housing driveway at the Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, SC. But those were offset by many, many very happy hours zipping around country roads with the top down. Sometimes you have to suffer for your art.
I’d propose after you have got the car and not before, you are newsto this marriage lark. It’s Easier to seek forgiveness then ask permission 😜I'm 41.
BUT I ordered the Emira when I was 40 (my birthday month is towards the end of the year).
Does that count as still being in the "30-40" group?
In all seriousness, for me, sports cars are my ultimate hobby and true love; been a car nut since I was 3 years old (in old family photos I'm always shown holding a Hot Wheels/Matchbox car in each hand).
Other than my mortgage, I don't drink, don't buy tons of random things, live minimally, (but for the things I DO want/need I tend to just get the best I can) and habitually save more money than I pull in since my parents raised me at a young age to always be mindful of every dollar you earn.
Still not married yet, but I'm proposing to my girlfriend this year.
This is quickly becoming my favorite place to be, because everyone is so well mannered, polite, and considerate.
Great to be part of this community.
Still not married yet, but I'm proposing to my girlfriend this year.
LOL, great suggestion!
Thank you! I'll be sure to do that when the time comes!Good luck on the proposal! Make sure to get the Emira in the wedding photos.
That was going to be my advice...find a girl who loves cars (or understands your passion) as much as you do. Sounds like you got a good one! 😉LOL, great suggestion!
But I lucked out - my girlfriend understands my hobby and fully supports me enjoying it.
Thank you! I'll be sure to do that when the time comes!
Congrats! And make sure to show the same understanding and support for her hobbies, or you will quickly find yourself in a very difficult situation!
Not quite, I'm 25, sorry 😅i'm 26 and i can't wait for the car to be mine in June / July
(Most likely the youngest here)
Sorry Im 24 Turning 25 Next year right around delivery time!
I suspect there are plenty of people in the mid 20s age bracket in the woodwork somewhere round here. Quarter life crisis? 😅
Aren't we all!
Hardwork brings its rewards
Same, felt slightly gutted to have to go for 40-50 when 'just' in the 40's ;-)
