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?

A Few Facts About the Ford Motor Company

Ford Motor Company The Ford Motor Company has seen it all since Henry Ford opened the Ford Motor Company in 1902. From producing vehicles for the public to helping with military equipment, going through some rough times in the past, and to some financial problems. The company has proven to be a brand that plans on sticking around for a long time. Here are a few interesting facts that many have not worked out and some that we still see today. Ford Facts Ford was the first company to manufacture and sell cars. Their first model, the Model A, sold for $850 and only hit a max speed of 30 mph.  The Ford assembly line was devised after Henry Ford got the idea from a pig-slaughtering plant.  They offered better pay to their employees offering double the market average pay at $5 a day.  While the first Ford was sold in 1903 to Dr. Pfennig (Ford’s current CEO, Jim Hackett, owns it today), the iconic Ford logo was first introduced in 1907.  Many may not know that H...

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 ...
