If I had the drive space, would buy that at £7k right now. So good

Yes and would go nicely with the petrol xc40
If you already have an SUV then surely get something fun/nice?
Taycans are massive and have no space inside. My brother had one and only kept it a month
I’ve got my name down for an Alpine A290 after being denied a Tesla S Plaid but if the model 3 performance looks good I might get one of them instead. I still reckon Tesla are the best.
My dad won £50k on the premium bonds and has bought himself one of those. Arrives next month I think.
He’s 80. I think it suits him but it’s definitely not what I’d be buying.

It probably is
Model Y performance might be good

Get your name down for a Cybertruck 
This is a useful guide…surprised not to see the VW T6 van in there though.
Before looking I said to myself, would love a 911
Was top of the list 
So is a mid life crisis where you buy something you always wanted when you find yourself being able to afford it? Not much of a crisis imho.

I always thought I wanted a Ferrari or some shit but now I’m not a fan
911 seems to be the best high performance car that’s not out of reach. Not a convertible
Never really looked into cars until recently
Same with watches and then @Barf steered me in the right direction and I’m hooked 
I think it’s primarily a car thing but obviously backed up by divorce, hair transplants cosmetic surgery etc… and is exemplified by ‘YOLO fuck everyone I’m doing what I want’. It’s a very selfish attitude and obviously worthy of derision.
The thing is, most people don’t care what other people think of them at that point in their life so they just go with it. It’s a bit of an ‘I’ve earned it I deserve it’ thing.
It seems to be counterpointed by retired people generally trying to drive the smallest most eco car they can find. Their attitude is more along the lines of ‘I’ve overstayed my welcome here, I’m not productive anymore I’m just a liability, I’d better look like I’m not consuming too much and just lay low and hope nobody notices I’m still here stealing oxygen’.
Seriously though I’m just bitter because I’d love a Porsche but my wife wouldn’t let me 
I can’t get one because my drive is too steep and scratches the bottom of most normal cars
Also can’t afford one at the moment
Maybe when kids are bigger
Money and steep driveway no object i’d still get a 911 over some hypercar
Probably a turbo s or something silly mind
Yeah I suppose it’s just everyone I’ve ever known with fast cars have been into cars since forever really so I’ve never quite understood the mid life crisis thing. I’m a bit over them I think. I’m too old and responsible to drive like an absolute twat and that’s really the only point of sports cars apart from for flouncing around in.

I got done for driving too fast to the point of going to court…bit of a watershed moment for me. Car was too big and too fast to have legal fun in lanes etc. I have lost the urge.
Then it just becomes a status symbol/penis extension or whatever. Bit tragic. I had a low rider for a bit and that was fun but a lot of hassle. I kind of wish I could get my car mojo back but also mainly CBA.

Round here most 60 roads are now 40, 30s are 20 and there’s just tons of cars and people everywhere. Fast cars feel like a bit of an anachronism these days.

Yeah shit country to have a fast car for sure
I also hate the flashy side of it
Not many stealth wealth sports cars around
So glad I have a slow car that feels fast and corners like a cocker spaniel
