Is this sporty car my husband wants to buy pretty?

I dunno.

I ride a 1984 Honda vf750 for last 30 years.

I bought it for like 3k used. It is still mint condition.

I was approached by tom cruise and Keanu reeves (not at same time) over the years to talk about the bike.

Even got a pic with Keanu on it with me next to him.

Cruise was before cameras were on phones.

Both thought it was really, really cool.

Each to their own.

Those are tacky. I hate the new redesign.

Our Boomer neighbors have one of the new Corvettes. It's pathetic. They ran into their mailbox backing into the driveway.

Why do you find it pathetic? Vettes are hard as daily drivers, they are low with sketchy visibility but I'm sure it beats your Honda Accord and/or Toyota.

"pathetic" seems a weird way of describing someone buying a car they like. I personally don't really like the new vetts, I'm a Porsche guy, but you just sound jealous or like you are trying to compensate for something.

I don't really know cars but I just don't think this car is all that visually impressive. I think he'll quickly regret it or be sort of embarrassed that it screams mid-life crisis. Thoughts?

It screams mid-life crisis but frankly who cares? If he wants it and can afford it then by all means go for it. I bought an airplane for my mid-life crisis. Just got back from a week in the Bahamas flying it from Manassas to Marsh Harbor.

That is because that is a classic motorcycle and those two actors are really into bikes.

Most people would not have a clue what that bike is or why it is (absolutely) cooler than any cheesy sports car.

High end sport cars that never make it to a track day are a waste of money.

I purchased a 2010 Vette ZR-1 off BAT (bring a trailer) for $50K last year, originally sold for $80k. Its old school, better looking, only 10K miles and still a superior performer vs current new gen....60 time around 4.2. I'm 50...have a love for American cars including classic muscle cars from the 70s. Does this mean I'm having a mid life crisis?
