A simple foray into douchebaggery: how to accessorize your mid-life crisis
The Chevy Corvette Syndrome. This is by far the most common accessory to a mid-life crisis. For some men, it may be another make and model, but the effect is still the same. For me, I've been contemplating either the Mercedes-Benz CLK-350:
Or the Jaguar XJ8:
Neither of which suit my personality in any way, which is kind of the allure, I suppose. "But don't you already have a motorcycle, Chuck?" Well, yes, but I've been over it since I got to California. So it gots to go. Not doing it for me anymore. The Jaguar, however, may be the most attractive car built in the last 30 years.
I'm pretty sure I won't get either of these cars. For one, both are really hard to find in hardtop like these two photos show; almost all are convertibles, and I am just simply not that much of a douchebag yet.
I am pretty sure I want a car. I'm leaning toward a used Audi or Accura now. Still somewhat out of character for me but a little more practical.

The jag is a great looking car but all I can think is where would the car seat go... Of course that is not the issue for you. I still refuse to drive a minivan even thought they are so practical, I'm not that mom yet. I don't think I ever will be.

@Tammy...I was just thinking the same thing today about the car seat when I saw a Smart Car. They are the perfect NYC car, but two car seats ain't happening in that thing.
@Chuck...I would go for the Benz. The Jag is just a very attractive Ford, which diminishes the appeal for me. There is an issue that someone we both know, who I think is a huge douchebag, drives a Benz (at least I think), so keep that in mind too.
You could look at the Aston Martin line...

I don't want to encourage douchebagness, but I do like that Jaguar.
Sometimes I think I'd like a motorcycle.

Don't sell yourself short, Chuck. You are totally enough of a douchebag to warrant a convertible.

I think you should go for the t-top Firebird... and you'd have to get the one with the giant firebird tattooed on the hood (that way, people won't confuse it for something else... like maybe the Bat-Mobile?)

I'd go for Accura. I've had it for years, and it's very practical. It's also easy to remodel, gives you a lot of room for customization.
