A New Sports Car Is The Epitome of Mid-Life Crisis

A New Sports Car Is The Epitome of Mid-Life Crisis

Where does this saying even come from? Every time we see a middle age man driving a sports car they are stereotyped as being in the middle of a mid-life crisis or overcompensating for something lacking in their life. While they have also been dubbed chick magnets, we tend to overlook the fact that maybe these men are buying these sports cars because they can and more importantly, they are just fun to drive. They go fast and are easy to maneuver and do not require much space. Many people who purchase sports cars are middle age because they are finally finished raising their children, and when the last child leaves the house, parents trade in the minivan for something fun to drive. For years they drive a family friendly vehicle and are just ready for a change. There is no overcompensation or mid-life crisis. Just a feeling of freedom from the constraints of a large family vehicle. Plus, did I mention they are a blast to drive?

Why Choose A Sports Car?

Aside from the speed, maneuverability, and the ease of driving them, sports cars are visually appealing. There is just something about looking at a sports car that makes you happy even if you do not own one. Most people’s dream cars are a type of sports car, not a truck or SUV, but a sports car. This is no surprise. We always want what we cannot have. So, when we have a family of four or five a sports car is out of the question because they do not offer enough room. As soon as the kids are gone, why not indulge in what suddenly becomes practical for a family of one or two?

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen

How Movies Portrayed Car Salesmen Since the 80s and through the 90s, movies involving car dealerships shined a negative light on car salesmen and painted a stereotypical picture. These comedic characters came off as shady, sleazy, pushy, and willing to do anything to make the sale. The News Wheel has listed the Top 5 Worst Car Salesmen from Movies and they're some pretty bad ones. Here are my three favorites from the list. Rudy Russo from the 1980 film Used Cars . A young Kurt Russell portrays Rudy Russo, a state Senate hopeful. In order to get a $10,000 campaign investment from used car lot owner Luke Fuchs, Rudy must help him sell some cars to keep his business up and running. While doing so, Rudy uses standard stereotypical used car salesmen techniques like cheesy commercials, fast-talking, and pressure selling. He even baits a customer from a competing lot by using a $10 bill on a fishing line to get the man to cross the street. Joey O’Brien from Cadillac Man . The ...

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America

Historic Route 66- Main Street of America Over the years, Route 66 has provided travelers, dreamers, and renegades with an experience no other route can give. Established November 11, 1926, covered 2,448 miles and originally ran through eight states starting from Chicago, Ill to Santa Monica, CA and quickly began to be one of the most popular highways in America. It soon became known by other names such as The Mother Road, Will Rogers Highway, and was spotlighted in John Steinbeck’s classic novel The Grapes of Wrath. When The Great Depression hit in 1929 over 200,000 traveled to Californa seeking reprieve from The Dust Bowl and used The Mother Road to escape. Some traveled west with the promise of work. With barren land surrounding them, farmers and their families gathered essentials and traveled west in hopes of work. Towns, mom and pop businesses, and service stations along the highway survived The Great Depression by catering to travelers with supplies, fuel, and car parts. Res...

Williams Group Auto - Seatbelt Statistics | Used Car Dealership in Abilene

  The Importance of Wearing Your Seatbelt When doing our research into buying a new vehicle, we shop around, go for a test drive, look into the car's history, find repair records, and other countless things. A few other things we look for might not be as important in the purchase process but more of a personal preference, such as color, whether it has Bluetooth, a sunroof, and so on. Either way, it is safe to say that we all want the same thing, to feel safe in our vehicle. When it comes to our safety, seat belts are one of the most important devices. They are important in our everyday lives to us and our passengers. While some incidents are rear-ended accidents, others are scarier. And what is more frightening is that in 2016 there were 37,461 people killed in motor accidents, and 48% of them were not wearing a seat belt. Not wearing or improperly wearing a seat belt can have fatal consequences, and to spread awareness, the State of Texas introduced the program Click it, or Ticket...
