A Corvette is definitely a midlife-crisis-mobile BUT, people misunderstand what a midlife crisis actually is. It’s not about trying to be young again, it’s about finally having the money to buy/do the thing you’ve wanted to the whole time.
Yeah, I have picked my midlife crisis and I won’t have money for it until either my mother dies when I’m 60 or, um, never. It’s a $300,000 musical instrument that takes 15 people to play properly. I W̸͖͂̈́͋̐A̷̡̞̠͎̱̿͜N̴͉̗̽͋T̶̠͑̔ one.
Most folk think my bike is my midlife crisis. That’s just my ride.
Money and time. I was on the grind for 20 years and poor as shit for the great majority of my life. I didn’t have the time to go do all the things I do now.
So I’m the middle aged guy riding a motorcycle, playing in bands, drinking too much in public as long as I’m not driving, going to every concert of nearly every genre I can get to…you know, living. I’m not in crisis, I’m having the time of my life. I’d say the last 8ish years have been the absolute most fun of my life.
My husband said he wanted a sports car once, kind of joking, and I just looked at him and said “huh, I figured I was your midlife crisis”
It’s true we can do some things we definitely couldn’t have done or had when we were single parents, before we got together and became a two income household, but not a corvette, no. More like a beach vacation (20 miles away, lol).
This is also similar to why there is about a 15 year lag in nostalgic items becoming more expensive to collect. That’s about how long it takes for people to get enough of their own money to buy the things they missed out on as kids. I have actually started hearing people refer to this as the ‘quarter life crisis’ and there seems to be an equal misunderstanding around it.

Like build LEGO set 8880
Only women call it a midlife crisis and they only say it about men.
Weird gendered moment
Try it sometime… say her Labubus are a midlife crisis… better be wearing a cup…
I have pointed it out and the response is hostile immediately. Midlife crisis is something men have and society criticises them for.
