Mid-life crisis car plan

[SOUNDMAN5000]

Depends how you like to drive?

When I wanted space and was in traffic all the time, the minivan was excellent and a great platform for sound system mods.

I had a gen 1 Miata and it was a hoot and I loved taking it with me everywhere - and then somehow I got bored with it? Not sure how that happened.

Take a look at an older Lexus GS. Reliable, rear wheel drive, not as many on the road now, excellent vehicle, surprising power if you want it, and comfortable.

Sounds like you want a “car” and not a ragtop Jeep with a stick, also can be fun.

I’d love to get back into a sedan but height matters in traffic here. Sitting taller helps keep my BP lower.

As CRAZY as it sounds, from a guy who just sold his Hellcat... Out of ALL the cars I have owned ( my wife owned it actually ) but her then new 09 Honda Osyssey mini van was the MOST comfortable car/ truck I have ever owned for log trips, The only car that didn't hurt my back and make me tired.

IF I was a person who had to drive for work etc, that mini van would have been my top pick and I loved the Rock Star TV commercials suggesting the van was still cool.

If like me you are old enough vans were very cool in the 70's. Gold shag carpet and all... Bow chica wow wow!

Looking back to those days when the kids were small our van was as "cool" as we could get at the time. LOL, I did like the feel and handling and room...
