"Midlife Crisis?"

"Midlife Crisis?"

Why is it that when a middle-aged person decides to trade their old family vehicle in for a clean, slick new sports car, they are considered to be going through a midlife crisis? Maybe they just feel that after raising their family for the past twenty years and putting their own wants and needs behind that of their children and families they think it is time for them to focus on themselves for a change. And what better change than finally buying that new sports car that you have had your eye on for years? Maybe it’s just time to focus on material things in life that make you happy. Many of these people have worked very hard their entire life and deserve a little something to show for it. A new sports car does not mean midlife crisis. It means these are the fruits of a life full of hard work and dedication to someone other than yourself. You just don’t get a chance to focus on yourself until you are middle-aged. This is nothing to be ashamed of.

Why Are Sports Cars Stigmatized?

Now, when a middle-aged man decides to trade their family car in for a big, nice, new jacked up 4x4, Chevy it is not considered a midlife crisis. People just think that he finally upgraded to a newer, nicer vehicle, even though he probably spent more on the truck than the sports car. As a society, we are very judgmental which is very unfortunate because the guy who bought the nice new truck may have really wanted a canary yellow Corvette or Camaro but decided they did not want to be stigmatized as going through a midlife crisis. But, who cares? Buy what you want. We only live once, right? Get the lobster red Camaro or the neon lime green mustang. Be happy with what you drive.

Classic Automobile Features in You Won't See in Modern Cars

  Classic Features Classic Features in Cars You Won’t See Today Who knows what kids will reminisce about years from now about their first car. Heck, there’s a chance vehicle won’t run on gasoline anymore, and that is something they will look back on and find nostalgic. Vehicles can start with the push of a button on your keychain, you can open the hatchback with the swipe of your foot, and heated seats (my personal favorite) are just a few features you can find in cars today. Here are a few classic features you won’t see today but were the best. Oldies and Goodies One of my favorites, bench seats. For some reason, I always thought they were fun as a kid, but looking back now, I realize how horrible they really were. Being squished between two adults was actually uncomfortable during long rides. I guess as a kid, you feel the front seat was larger than it really was, and sometimes you had it all to yourself- that’s fun. I’m sure several teenage boys took advantage of the seat design...

Is the Future Now? Self Driving Cars

  SELF DRIVING CARS Popular Mechanics - If you were like me growing up, the future looked like an episode of The Jetsons. As a kid, I thought the future what going to bring us talking watches, self-cooking ovens that prepare entire meals, closets that dress us at the push of a button, and of course flying cars. Well, we are not that far off. At the moment there is a possibility that we will see self-driving vehicles on our roads. This possibility has been on the horizon for the past few years, as companies like Tesla and Waymo have been focused on bringing autonomous vehicles to the market. In 2017, the U.S. House passed legislation that could accelerate the development of self-driving cars by allowing them to be driven in all 50 states. The Safely Ensuring Lives Future Deployment and Research In Vehicle Evolution Act (SELF DRIVE) exempts automakers from some safety standards that aren't relevant to autonomous vehicles and permits selling up to 25,000 cars per year without needing ...
