I got the handle a long time ago, I had been driving go karts for years and the name stuck. I just use "Kart" right now. All forums have good and bad sides but the porsche forums seems to be one of the nicest. I will see what I can do about pictures, who knows maybe she can wash the car. I wish I could take it to a track but I don't think that would be allowed. White99c2 if you want it dead then don't respond. Thank you everyone for your support and mostly enthusiastic comments. Also thank you for not thinking(or voicing) the observation that I am some spoiled kid with the keys to the parents car.

Don't worry when you're older people say its a midlife crisis or you are making up for a small dicky doo or you are just a douchebag. There is no shortage of envy out there.

Midlife crisis - at 46 I bought my first Harley - showed it to my Mother who was 70 at the time - she politely reminded me that she still forbid me to ride a motorcycle - yeah Mom, that's why I'm 46 and just now riding.

Had the bike warming up in the driveway for a ride, as I was about to put my helmut on a neighbor approached and said "hey, what's going on - you having a mid-life crisis" I said, well, if having fun is a crisis then I guess, yeah, I am.

5 years later, first day I roll up in the P-Car - same freakin' neighbor in my driveway. "Hey - you having ANOTHER mid-life crisis"? Nope - still enjoying the same one. Same goes for today.

Enjoy living - what other people think is truly of trivial concern.

The car in my avatar was just white for a couple years. Then I put the blue stripes on it. Thats when kids started running along the sidewalk yelling "Nice Car!" My wife was embarrassed to ride in it. "What will I tell people when they ask if you are having a Midlife crisis" I told her "Tell them that I never grew up, just older." The husbands will understand."

ere will always be someone to try and ruin your fun.The haters think that the car is either a midlife crisis mobile or it is a spoiled brats car. O well best thing to do it roll down the windows and just drive. I just took some pictures of the car, I was having some fun so please let you know what you think.
