Average lifespan is 77 for women, she’s not far off.
Also I’m middle aged, I’ve never thought of that. I need to go have my midlife crisis now.
"Middle age" has never been about being exactly 50% of the way through the average life span. It's much less about "how much time you have left" and more about the point where you can't realistically think of yourself as young anymore. The effects of age become impossible to ignore, compounding, and increasingly obvious.
It's basically just your 40s-60s. Not the exact midpoint.
It's better to do it later in life anyway that way you actually have some money to go mad with
Haha what is money?
Fuck, I was middle aged when I was like 15.
Well that’s a stupid name and they should change it, call it 3/4 aged.
Think of it as being a middle aged woman/man - timer starts when you're considered a woman/man, so I probably at 18. Then, being "middle aged" actually falls in the 40s-50s.
Shitty time to have to buy a Mazda Miata. But we're going to need you to go ahead and get one purchased.
I bought mine at 25. Does that mean I'll be dead by 50?
Bad news. With inflation, it's not going to be twenty five years for the back half.
I'm sorry. There's nothing medical science can do for you now.
You will be required to do an engine swap at 36. You will take out the sensible 4 cylinder engine and attempt to cram a straight 6 under the hood. The car will sit in pieces in your garage for years before you eventually sell it for parts when your spouse buys a storage system for their garden tools that will need to go in that space.
Ha, that was my dream car when I was 16! Or an RX7, I think it was called.
The American rotary was/is the RX8. RX7 was banned in the US because it had a left hand drive and emissions regulations. But you might still be able to find one or two floating around
The rotary is kinda cool but there's not many mechanics that can work on them. So the Miata is probably the smarter choice.
Hmm? No, there were RX7s in the US. Emissions are tough for rotories, but they made it kinda work for a while.
I had an RX8. Loved it, but rotories give up their apex seals eventually. Have a Miata now.
Isn't it like... 81 years? Europe noises
That's like 2 years mate
Oh and its 85 down here in Aus and thats with a giant cancer machine in the sky. Skippy noises.
