"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.

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...
