So I'm turning 40 this summer and my gift to myself is a new car. My last 3 cars have been Nissan Altima's and I was thinking of a luxury car like a BMW, Lexus, etc.. but now I'm thinking I should buy something fun!

I want to stay under $50k. I looked at a Jeep Wrangler unlimited but that may really be too young for me. Now my focus had changed to a Lexus convertible. I have a few months so I'm sure my mind will change again. I really want a Porsche Boxster but that is out of my price range.

What would your mid life crisis car be?

    I think I may be doing it wrong, but my midlife crisis car is a VW bus. I picked it up a couple of years ago.

    Something old school like a 1970 Chevelle.

    Subaru WRX STi. New model should be coming out in November, so I'll have to wait a while for my crisis. It'll be an upgrade from my Legacy GT though, so maybe I've just got an ongoing crisis. ;-)

    My mid-life crisis toy was a new 1500cc motorcycle!

    If you like the Jeep - get the Jeep!
    I rented one while on vacation a few years ago and it was a hoot to drive.

    Excellent!! You can never go wrong with the classics.

    My crisis car is a 1968 Ford Mustang Fastback.

    That's right Bullitt.

    Am I the only person here who got a crisis car that has no place in the passing lane? Disturbing. :)
