The dad of one of my kid's classmates at daycare traded in his Tahoe and bought a new red Miata. Loaded the kid (in her booster seat) in the passenger bucket yesterday. Pretty sure he's going through the "mid life crisis".

That sounds like fun. When do I get to go through one?

Any of ya'll do that thing?

the guy always wanted a gender vague convertible car and finally has the means to get one, let him be.

However, the kid in the booster seat in a small convertible 2 seater sounds irresponsible a f.

Who buys a Miata as a midlife crisis? A Boxter would be more appropriate.

if this midlife crisis is occurring at 60+, the only acceptable answer is a corvette that never gets taken above 45.

crisis is a bit strong, miata is a midlife dilemma at best

I bought a boat and about to change jobs. At 32 I feel like I am in the middle of one...

I remember a buddy of mine who bought a Miata way back when it was first introduced to the market.

I haven't seen one on the road for a long time. Does it still look like a woman's sports car?

Miata's are very high fun per dollar vehicles, based on everything I've read online. One of the few sports cars that can be easily pushed close to its limits in regular driving.

I don't think the Miata is a sign of a simple mid-life crisis.

Sounds more like gender reassignment, not a mid-life crisis.

A miata is a midlife crisis?? More like gender confusion (not that there's anything wrong with that)

question: is it a Spec Miata? if so, that changes things.

I think I've missed my midpoint since I'm 48. No way in hell I'm making it to 96. So I guess on my 3/4 life crisis I will get my balls and dong hair removed via laser. So I don't have to spend the last 1/4 of my life wasting my time on it. Might as well get the ear hairs fixed as well.

Well, he may have had leftover cash after selling Tahoe and buying Miata. And if he used that cash on hoars and whiskey, then it qualifies as midlife enlightenment.

This is most likely what happened:

H: I really want to get this new Miata
W: right now isn't a good time. We have [excuse here]
H: but you bought that purse the other day:
W: it's a purse not a car
H: buys car

A Miata was his answer to a mid life crisis? Are we sure he isn't having an "identity" crisis?
