Maorigirl is right: it is not the type of car but who is sitting in the passenger seat. Seriously. Middle age may bring upon an existential crisis or questioning but it also is a time when all one's major purchases have been made and paid for. Younger people have to buy furniture, appliances, a car, a home and what not. By the time one reaches the fourties, these things are already acquired and one's discretionary income goes up. For some, it goes way up.
So buy a sportscar if that is what you want; it has nothing to do with a midlife crisis. Unless you trade in your wife for a sportier model...that happened to the PASTOR of a church I once attended. The church didn't survive. I've witnessed other marriage breakups over the years, usually because the man screwed up.
I asked my wife if she had a midlife crisis and she answered, "YOU were my midlife crisis. " I just chuckled ...
What kind of midlife crisis do women have anyway? Do you want to just splurge on a fancy blender or sewing machine...?

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.
