To be clear too, the lady riding shotgun has put up with this BC redneck for 40 years now, so that's not part of the story other than she's fine with it's existence in general. wink

It's just a 40th Anniversary rag top Mustang, nothing too weird, but it's been fun to play with and take out on sunny summer days.

That's likely not as juicy a tale as you were hoping for, but then Canucks are widely known to be fairly boring and predictable, so I do have a stereotype to live up to, right?

All the best.

Damn... you make me laugh sometimes...

Well play Sir Dwayne...

Hard to say. At the time I would have experienced it my life was so turbulent due to other circumstances that it might have slipped on by completely unnoticed. And that's fine with me!

Not a midlife crisis but it sure fugged me up when I lost my first wife at the age of 35. Seeing her laying dead in that box with all signs of everything that ever was, would have been or could have been just completely gone sent me into an existential crisis that I'm not sure I'm completely out of yet. Been to many a funeral but that one really put schitt into perspective.

I’m only 51 so probably another 15 or 20 years before I’m at the halfway point. 😁. I’ll let you know then if I’m having a midlife crisis.

May this year, I turned 50. I can completely see how your statement would be epically true.

I bought a shotgun. It was really pretty. It didn't help me shoot any better. Then I started buying shotgun shells. That helped.


The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

I also got divorced and remarried after a few years.

It was a crazy time. I wouldn't want to go through it again.

Between 30 and 60 went through 3 Corvettes. Only got me laid a few times but got me introduced a bunch of times and took it from there.

Beautiful. God bless and heal you.
