You'll like this Midlife Crisis

[Pow-Lo]

I’ve decided to schedule a midlife crisis later this year and I’m thinking of chopping in the Panzer for a 5 litre Mustang.

Is this an acceptable thing to do for a midlife crisis or is it going too far? Or am I not going far enough?

Discuss.

My builder pal has done exactly that; he has bought a 5.0 Mustang as he too is having a mid life crisis.

I quite like it; the build quality is decent unlike recent Mustangs, the motor is a peach and sounds fantastic. But as an overall package it doesn’t come close to a Bmw or Audi. Get an RS6 instead If you want a V8. Different league.

I don’t like Audis and the RS6 is not really a midlife crisis car. Not for me, anyway. The Mustang is a big, shouty, in-yer-face muscle car with a big shouty engine and big shouty exhausts. Way more midlife crisis material.

The V8 is an added bonus. Besides, who in their right mind would buy a 2.3 Mustang?

If I was sticking with German cars for my midlife crisis (if I do get a Mustang, I’ll go back to BM after I’m done) I’d go for an 840d or an X6.

I think its a step to far going to anything "merican, my old gaffer has one & yes its a big shouty muscle car but like most things septic if goes round bends like a pissed pig on rollerskates and the ride quality is "interesting"

Considering you live in deepest welsh wales if you have a heavy right boot I suspect you will be taking a closer look at the scenery quite unexpectedly

Nope, you need to go for one of those carbon framed racing bycyle things along with the full lycra, funny shaped lid and shave all yer hair off.

Now that's a proper mid life crisis.

The bonus is that the pictures will cheer us all up.

Corrected for you.

Nah, couldn’t do that. Dezza would never speak to me again.

I could live with the handling as I don’t tend to drive like a tit anyway. The only time I get playful is when some teenage cock in his jacked up Corsa or silly little girl in her Fiat 500 drive up my arse when I’m at the speed limit. Then I flip the Panzer into riot mode and bury the throttle. They reverse away from me at warp speed whilst simultaneously choking on soot.

In a Mustang, I’d deafen them and cover them in bits of rubber

I can’t explain it, I just have an urge to get a Mustang.

What you suggest is at best a Mondeo with a big engine
You need a fastback Shelby Mustang if you wanna go Mustang

I hate to say it but that is THE fat'n'bald middle aged bloke's ride round these parts.

Don't do it.

If you want a brute muscle car then I'd choose something like a Nissan GT-R or similar.
You only have one midlife crisis.. do it properly.

 

[DanBow]

Aren't you too old for a midlife crisis?

No, it’s cool. That’s why I asked the question. There’s not many around here, though. Whilst I’m middle aged and shave me edd, I’m not fat.

Thing is, I’m not a fan of Japanese cars. The GT-R is without a doubt an FO car but it ain’t my bag.

Only if I die before I’m 106. I’m planning on going to 110, so I’m giving myself a bit of wriggle room in case I eff this midlife crisis up

If I take the plunge, it’ll be a fastback but I’m not sure I could afford a Shelby. Aren’t they mega money?

I wasn't implying you were fat, ya big tart, just that modern Mustangs in this neck of the woods are driven exclusively by fat, bald, middle aged men. I suspect they've all watched Bullit when they were younger and fancy themselves as Steve McQueen.


Here's a thought.. Keep the Panzer and get a 2 seater. I'll start the ball rolling with an Aerial Atom.

Get yer'sen a wig and an eye patch.
You could be this guy.

I know you weren’t, I was just distancing myself from the stereotypicals. Me! could have one though, he lives on the south coast and fits the profile to a tee.

Nah, not a fan of out and out sports cars. Besides, I have nowhere to keep it as the drive is only wide enough for two cars at the top and there’s no room in the garage. If we had a third car, we’d always be needing to shift one to get another out. As it is with two cars there, I can get a bike out but with a third car, that goes out the window.

You just haven't thought this through, have you.....

If you want a proper mid life crisis you need a proper car. Get an F-Type. Trust me it's got an epic V8 in it that would give a dead vicar a chubby and is up to any mid life crisis you can throw at it. Plus you can safely stop and play top trumps with any Mustang owners while they are waiting for recovery to tow them out of the ditch.
