Is Square Wheels' New Car Choice Symptomatic of a Mid-life Crisis ?

...I say yes.  There's no other believable explanation for wanting a car with a removable top in New England.

idk, other than jsharr’s post idk if there has been too much debate over the car buying or not.

but electric is the wave of the future.

• If it's a "mid"-life crisis, damn I'm gonna live a long time.  I'm 54.
• In @petitepedal fashion, this needs to last a few years (plus I don't have the money yet).
• I had an early 70's Camaro, plus a Z28 and Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am.  I want something more modern.
• I will never pick up chicks again.  If something goes wrong with the current one, I'm done.
• The wife plans to buy a Tesla, I'll have access to electric.
• I think I can handle a "sports" car.  I don't really see it as sporty.  All I want is a hardtop convertible.  I don't want the noise of a ragtop and since I live in NE, it needs to be front wheel or all wheel drive.

I really don't think I'm asking for so much.

...the current crop of ragtops are waaaaaay quieter than my '67 Alfa Spyder was.  You should test drive a couple, and take them up to speed on the highway.

The issue with most of those retractable hardtops you're eyeballing is that when you retract the top, you got no space left in the trunk.  So you have to give up on junk in the trunk.

...hugely entitled, middle aged white men never think that they're asking for so much.

...I'm gonna be 70 in March.  Be careful what you buy, because it might need to last a long time.

You don’t even need a new car to celebrate a midlife crisis. You are already a MAMIL
