"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.

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.

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 ...
