There's more ways to spend money than knives

Entering phase 10 of midlife crisis

Horses. A very efficeint way to dispose of spare cash. Even if you don't have spare cash.

My wife's view is that one should get their children interested in horses. Then they will never have enough money for drugs.

Nice Car BTW. Is it a '69 Camaro? Looks to be in great condition.

Is the engine stock? Have you dynoed it? The 302 was apparently a fair bit overpowered compared to spec.

 

[WildBoar]

The car + a garage with a lift, tire changer, balancer, etc. is a great way to spend knife money!

Hah the classic car. My midlife crisis has a name.... Moby

its correct DZ block built to spec But not original. Pick it up tomorrow. Sold 70 Chevelle SS so had to fill the gap.

I’m buying it from good friend who’s general manager of large car dealership. wish I had a lift. Maybe if I sold some knives....

I’ve had friends go down that road. Makes sense for Amish and cowboys, and I’m neither. But if my kids would have been into it, probably would have done it.

Very suitable, since most think Porsche owners are diks



(I have an '87)

Exactly what happened to me. Only horses I ride are made from aluminium and carbon fibre.

Holy krap. That a real 69 z28? Damn. Thats my favorite all time American muscle car. By a mile. I would give up all knives and suffer the rest of my life with scissors for a car like that.

I picture my mid-life crises a bit more economical. Congrats.

Love old Porsches. Lottery win dream car is a Singer.

Here is the magnitude of my madness. I bought a smart reel. It has electronic braking! My fishing addiction is in full swing.

All I know is knives are waaaaay cheaper, safer, and easier to store than motorcycles.

It wasn't very long ago that most people had horses and only rich people had cars.

Now most everyone has cars and only the rich have horses.

Nemo - have you been holding out on us?

I went through a horse phase for about 10 years. Had several beautiful Arabians at one point and did a little breeding. Was super expensive, but I really enjoyed them. Eventually I moved on. I don't see moving on from knives as they, in one form or another, have been an interest for over 30 years. Currently 2 years into cycling, had to quit running as much because of impact. Wondering what will come next...

Guns, cars, collectible pool cues? Lots of choices!

This is my midlife crisis solution. My wife approved - she figured that a girlfriend would cost more even in a short run

Supra?

 

[Matus]

Supra?

Nope, just a GT86. But it really is a fun car - even with an AT and only 200ps

The perfect car would have been be Alpine A110, but that costs double.

Girlfriends are a lot cheaper than wives. Unless of course you already have a wife

Now you tell me ...

 

[Corradobrit1]

Alpine A110,.

I could go for that too, especially if it was the SportsX concept rally car version.
