Lanky Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 My Uncle turned 60 and bought a Saab convertible... Just after I turned 28 (about a year after he got the Saab) I bought my Z. He's not too chuffed, especially being as my aunt likes it more. Not sure what it really says about age and Saab and emanating mid-life crises, either way I'm glad I got mine out the way and have my Z now!

Ebized Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 When the first turbo Saabs came out they were loved by everyone under 30, the thump in the back from the turbo lag was a whole new power thing then being one of the first FI cars that ordinary peeps could reasonably afford. Sadly the latest generation Saabs hold no appeal at all for me but then I haven't grown up, when it coms to cars, with my age Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhutch Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 There are plenty of monkeys on the road, most drive badly modified corsa's. Got my 350Z at 24, getting 370Z now at 25, so maybe my mid life crisis will be a GTR or a Saab. Like the spawn of the devil comment though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I'm not old enough to have a midlife crisis.... but I'm looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I must be an early developer, as by 23yo I had a 350z, 3(ish) yrs later I had a 370z and now I've hit 30 I've got a VW van to do into a camper van. Well ahead of my time! Think I need to get the R6 back on the road and reclaim some of my youth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Buying a sports car when you hit 'mid life' is only applicable if you have prior history of driving crap cars and probably aren't much good at driving. Associating a contemporary SAAB with a mid life crisis is lame reporting which is lucky to have kicked off this thread. Although I did run a GM 900 Turbo for a year or so which was rubbish and excellent in roughly equal measure, it could have been fantastic with a few simple improvements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
