Class of 96. I bought a Acura Integra Type S in December. It’s my daily driver and it just so good.

I just went and got third holes in my ear lobes and put my cartilage piercing back in that I haven’t worn in 20 years. I figure it’s a cheaper alternative to a sports car.

Ill never know what it's like to spin one of these around a corner and straight into a light pole 😥

Former CEO of a company I used to work at owned one, dumb ass finally sold it after crashing it 4 or 5 times.

I read an article a couple years ago about how those things were basically death traps.

They were designed for experienced drivers to toss around a track.

But then rich guys would buy them and try to toss them around a back road, have no idea what they're doing, lost traction, and slam into whatever large solid object is closest.

In Gran Turismo 2, you could get a blue one with white stripes and a Team Orca race version. Things were fast but couldn't turn.

I mastered the Autumn Ring Mini with the GTS. Diving into the corners and getting just the right amount of oversteer. I own 5 of the GT games and I can't dominate ARM like that in any of them but 2.

My best friend, who has been professionally trained to drive things fast, did exactly that with his first Viper.

Yes, first. He's owned two since. They remain non-poled thus far.

I rented one for $350 back in about 20 years ago. Spinning around was pretty easy.

Better than missing the light pole and the corner and just flying off a cliff. (I drive that road regularly, and what a doooooouche, driving like that.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWi4HutNX5M

That has less than 3000 miles on it. One with 30k miles can be had for around $35k dollars.

Oh good to know!

Why is that link a Google link? That screams "tracking and analytics"

[-]

flerchin@reddit

To me that's a screaming deal. I'd much rather that viper than a new Charger which goes for around that.

[-]

-DementedAvenger-@reddit

Totally agree. I thought about trying to find one a few years ago. Wife considered letting me, haha

ShillinTheVillain@reddit

My midlife crisis started with a pole barn so I have room for all my toys.

But the older car market is bananas right now unless you want a project car

[-]

thejunkmanadv@reddit

I have been in my midlife crisis for 25 years. Only with motorcycles. This was when I was 25...

[-]

Izarial@reddit

I just bought a Fiat Spider a few weeks back, loving my European midlife crisis car!

[-]

viper6575@reddit

I've still got the same username and dream of owning one since I was 16.

In our age traction and control are very important. Spinning your tires around is so uncivilized.

[-]

Weird_Squirrel_8382@reddit

I want a Shelby GT and my better half is being the No Fun League about it.

[-]

WorkingItOutSomeday@reddit

She understandably doesn't want you cheating on her with Eleanor.

[-]

chadwickipedia@reddit

Shelby GT 500 ≠ Shelby GT. Have some respect

[-]

CurrentHair6381@reddit

Yeah dont get that one, uou probably cant drive it right. Thats not on you, theyre really hard to drive

[-]

I got mine last November. The compromise was modern safety features, but it's a stick and lighter than anything else on the US market so it's still as much fun as a kiddie pool full of puppies. Life is short. Highly recommended!

[-]

SorryForPartying6T9@reddit

Hell yea. Real ones know the Miata is the right move.

[-]

SashimiRick@reddit

Will it have 500 horsepower and a Borla exhaust system????

Processing img se8lbk1jigwg1...

But really, I got myself a little hot hatch that makes me giggle. You only live once.

[-]

jojotherider@reddit

Good job you can read the manual

[-]

qaa541@reddit

Also class of 2001 and I’m on my third sports car 😸

[-]

ken830@reddit

Myself, I'm waiting for the Tesla Roadster.

[-]

jesusmansuperpowers@reddit

Well that’s the year I finished high school, still wouldn’t mind a viper though. Notoriously easy to lose control of

[-]

fairlyaveragetrader@reddit

Oh my gosh those early ones are dangerous. I think my favorite style is the late 90s though, like the 1999 viper in that deep metallic blue looked amazing, White stripes, hardtop, it was just spectacular

[-]

867-53-oh-nein@reddit

Nice Miata!

[-]

Original_Boat6539@reddit

World class door handles and window roll ups that the European super cars at the time couldn’t possibly rival…

[-]

PetalFlirtie@reddit

the classic midlife crisis car, nothing says "I'm still young at heart" quite like a sports car that could outrun your last good decision!

[-]

WheelLeast1873@reddit

Worked at a grocery store in hs and this dude would come in every Saturday and park his red viper allllllll the way out in the back of the lot so no cars would park near him. Don't know if it eventually killed him or not.

Was cool lookin though.

[-]

Santa_Hates_You@reddit

I got an RS3. Fun and practical

[-]

Ltimbo@reddit

Same year here… and don’t tell me it was “a quarter century” ago ever again. Now I’m imagining myself lighting up a Camel Turkish gold and scrolling through my Nokia address book trying to find out what I’m doing on a Monday night with some serious senioritis kicking in.
