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?

Do You Prefer a Ford or Chevy?

Do You Prefer a Ford or Chevy? This is the age-old question. Ford or Chevy? Ford lovers wouldn’t be caught dead driving a Chevy, and Chevy lovers wouldn’t be caught dead driving a Ford. Fortunately, this type of mindset is falling by the wayside as the new millennial generation is growing. Many of them do not share the rivalry that their fathers and grandfathers shared between these two makes of pickup trucks. This has a lot to do with the fact that there are many other popular makes and models of pickup trucks such as Dodge, Nissan, and Toyota. People have more options now than they did 30 to 40 years ago. This is a good thing because it breaks people from those ingrained stereotypes. So, if you are looking for a great, reliable, but still luxurious truck, look no further. We have the perfect one for you.

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 ...
