Mid-life crisis cars

      Something that almost everybody goes through at one point in their life is the midlife crisis.  This is most commonly spotted by people buying a fast car, or dying their hair a darker color or getting botox.  For women, all three are very common, but for men it should definitely stop after the first thing.  What a midlife crisis is all about is when someone is trying to relive their glory days when they have realized that the glory days are over for them.

      These cars are the representation of the man's past.  Fast, exciting and memorable when you hear about it.  If there was no budget associated with a midlife crisis car, then here are a few of the best choices and who they are best for.

Lamborghini Huracan- This is for the man who likes the finer things of the world. He appreciates all regions, but his favorite is the Mediterranean.  For other Lamborghinis however, like the Aventador, he could just be a retired rapper looking for a new fix.

1959 Ferrari Testarossa- This man owns the color blue.  He has more zeroes in his net worth than some American cities.  He probably has also been knighted as well, and enjoys the classic artists. This is no plaything for the whimsical reminiscent old man.  This is a statement that the money you earned in your glory days is going to be of good use to you for the rest of your life.

2014 Hennessey Venom GT- For the man who wants to be the fastest. Period.  This man was most likely one of two things, a fighter jet pilot who went on to win the lottery.  The other option is that he is the lead singer of Aerosmth and he is just insane.  Either way, this car is as close as you can get to strapping yourself to a rocket and living from the experience.

And for the alternate cheaper versions...

Mazda Miata- A relatively inexpensive roadster, with good performance attributes and a somewhat decent redesign, the only reason this makes the list is because of its combination of performance for the price value. 

Ford SVT Raptor-  This truck takes the versatility of a normal truck and take the performance factor up a notch while keeping the price tag under $75k, it is a good option for those looking to go off-road racing, and then having to stop by the Home Depot to pick up a new medicine cabinet and some tile for that new bathroom you and the sons are working on.

Any American Muscle Car-  For most of these cars, you can find a reasonably priced american classic that you can drive around, have some fun in and still be comfortable passing it onto your kids when the time comes.  There are also endless options provided by aftermarket companies to help customize your ride.  If you are lucky and get a manual, you wont have to worry about it being stolen either because nobody dumb enough in this generation to steal a fully registered car won't know how to drive it!
