Owning a Porsche means you're having a mid life crisis

Not looking good for me then, bought my first Porsche last year, I'm only 30 so I've not got long left

I was 20 when i bought my first convertible, an MG Midget. Now 40 years later I am still have a mid life crisis, an MX5 now. Had it said to me plenty of times but mostly by blokes driving people carriers cause that's what the told them is sensible.

Bought my 986S just before my 43rd . . . so this figures!

Ignores the fact that I've been obsessed with Porsches since I was knee-high to a grasshopper though. If pesky houses, kids, dogs etc. hadn't got in the way I'd have bought one a lot sooner.

I see the MX5 is way down at 17. Which makes sense as I first had that midlife crisis aged 25.

27 for me, married with 2 children so defiantly a mid life crisis.

Wish it was mid life, got my 911 GTS just under 2 years ago , age 67 , always wanted one, but couldn’t justify the funds before.

[Smollet]

I've owned an MX5 , 996.1 and now a 986.2s. I'm in a permanent state of crisis

[stuckmojo]

I've been in a midlife crisis since I was 12. I still like the same things (Porsches, Harley Davidsons, guitars).

I am ok with that.

Well that's a stroke of luck at least I haven't got a tiny penis and a hair salon.

[Schuey_911]

Will take that with a pinch of salt. Got told I had a mid-life crisis when I was 19 when I started riding motorbikes lol

[Adrian-9iafn]

Ive been having mine for the last 35 years then !

[JamesW]

So I'm now on my 6th midlife crisis then, and it started at 25

[Rik Blythe]

5 911s an Aston and a r8 so far, my crisis must be amazing 😂

My wife calls it my 981 Boxster S my "Manopause"

I seen to lurch from crisis to crisis!!! A BMW E89 Z4, MX-5 NC 3.5. 718 Boxster S, and now the 981BS

I've got three. Does that elevate me from crisis to emergency, like the climate?

[Guybrush]

What if you've owned once since you were young and decades later, still owning one, somebody concludes that you are having a midlife crisis? It's all rather confusing.

[CanAm]

I've just bought my first Porsche, a Cayman, and I'm far too old for it to be considered a mid-life crisis car.

My 50 year old mate with the Racing Yellow Boxster -

I'm not so sure!

[woodysnr]

You are all youngsters I drive a 987 Spyder and a 981 Boxster and months off 79
Was 47 before I could afford my first Porsche now on number 18 they can be addictive.

[Oz83]

There's some truth to it, although my guess is that most people wait until later in life for financial reasons.
If you could have afforded a Porsche at 20, then you'd have bought one.

The thing that rubs me the wrong way about the article is the cliché about buying a Boxster because you can't afford a 911. Everyone knows the only convertible Porsche should be a Boxster.

Coming at number 17, golf GTI???

If you buy a Golf GTI because you’re having a mid-life crisis, then you really ARE having a midlife crisis.
