Mid Life Crisis

[Skylerjohnson1996]

It all fits in my 2 car garage no problem... I do take my Harley to
the dealership to have it stored in the winter. $300 for 6 months
heated and clean storage. They like my bike and show it off. lol
When they put the 120R engine in it..... they test drove it , called me
to come pick it up... I test drove it and as soon as I rolled onto the throttle
it blew the drive belt to smithereens. I've got too much $$$ invested in that bike , that I cant justify selling it because I'll take a heck of a loss.

And you can't forget being 275 on a motorcycle doesn't get any more badass than that

Very nice toys sir

Whatcha running in the chevyII, I like that model, super light and pretty bad ass especially since you dont see too many of around here or anywhere I’d imagine

Yes... I got young man toys.
66 Chevy II
2023 Ford raptor R.
2019 Dynaglide with a new 120R Screaming eagle "race" engine.

I refuse to grow old.....

If you didn't know how old you were, how old would you be?
16 for me.

As for me I’ve had a dozen mid life crisis or hell it might have been one very very long one haha

Not sure yet

Yeah the TRX has it beat by a few tenths in the 1/4 mile.
I've been an 11.87@116 with it in Epping NH last fall.
Drove it 500 miles there trailoring my Nova... raced all weekend
and drove 500 miles home. I've always been a Chevy guy, but
these new Fords with the 5.0 coyote motors or the 5.4's are
stout!

My dad had two 70 novas… him and my uncle used to take them and this souped up amc gremlin and a javelin up to the drag strip and race them when I was little. I remember this guy who was winning non stop had a dark emerald green nova with thumper from Alice in wonderland painted on it. Beautiful car. Let me ride in it down the strip. I was like 8 years old hanging on to the roll cage bars on the floor. Excited as hell. Great memory!!

I have a Texas speed LSX 454 (small block) It had twin 76s on it (turbos)
and just last year I had a single 98mm turbo installed.
Made 1500HP on 32 Psi, but have it turned down for the street.
Very light car. I mostly drag the car now in the 1/8 mile and do Sunday cruises and car shows. My best 1/8th Et was 5.29 @ 150 with that car
just hazing the drag radials the entire pass.
I bought that 66 when I was 17 and its been through many engine/trans combos....This combo is hard to beat.

 

[HFO3]

Thats got be so much fun to drive hahaha I cant even imagine bro!

Do you mind posting a photo of the engine Ive never heard of a 454 small block

Dad had a 70 something Buick Riviera they did a 454 swap in. His brothers wife tore the transmission out going down the highway somehow smacking the shifter into reverse at 70mph. Lol

Sat in a field for the next 40 years… had to cut a tree down that was growing up through the hood to take it the scrap yard a few years ago.

Them old big blocks are real stump pullers. Torque monsters..... Turbo cars
the torque ramps in and trys to plant your eyeballs into your brain.
The old big blocks still run a quicker 60ft time than me because
turbo lag... once that hairdryer is fully spooled tho.....
Ill just say this.... I've heard the saying before and never knew what it meant but literally..... The car is so far ahead of me... Its that quick.
Like when its time to pull the shoots @ the 1/8th mile Im more like
way past the 1/8th. I'm just aiming and praying it goes straight

The 454s use a fuck ton of gas

Especially with C116

I did the same. 2024 F150 Raptor and a 2024 Bronco Raptor! Jealous of your Raptor R….is it worth the upgrade??

Haha Fuck you rich fuckers!

You know what I just picked up this year?

Yup your all gonna be jealous but I found me a 2004 Chevy Cobalt! 55k miles and garage kept. Motherfucker even has crank windows. Oh and the AC is ice cold too! Its like brand new and I picked my gem up for $700.

Best $700 I’ve spent in a long time. I’ve put 20k on it with ZERO issues. Definitely something to be said for driving a beater car.

I’m driving a 2012 Ram 1500…. It was black but now it’s like a brown/orange rust color… 158K miles, runs great still… got a whole slew of “unique personality options” like I need a screwdriver to operate the power windows….and I got a family of mice living in my rocker panels…. I gotta punch the headlight to get it to come back on… short in the wire somewhere can’t find it…. The touch screen thing just scrolls through the menu options the entire drive….

Starting to nickel and dime me though…..

It’s great being a poor boy.

The MBTI has a personality designation that often is associated with behavior that appears to be midlife crisis but it's not. The SP temperament usually owns and operates guns, fast cars, motorcycles and is kind of a master of tools. If you are an SP, you will have an interest in these things until you die.

I am INTJ is that the same thing as an SP?

@Big_Jimmy434 please stay on call big dog

 

[WED]

Have any of you gone through it? Is it even real? Am I going through it right now? Have I had multiple mid life crisis throughout my life?

What the fuck is my problem?

But seriously did any of you guys go through a mid life crisis? And if so, what happened? How bad did you fuck your life up?

I haven't fucked my life up, but at 45 I want nothing more than to move to the middle of no where and peace the fuck out. Quit the corporate dog race and just live remotely in a developing central american country on the beach

I owned a Chevy Cavalier for almost 20 years.... That was a fun lil car but I always got laughed at.....

No it would be the second and last letter. ISTP would be one example.

However many people don't know how to take the test so you may be something else. You cannot think of your occupation when taking the test as your occupation forces you to do things outside of your natural temperament. Not saying you did this but its a common error.

I had a blue with black racing stripes 5 speed hatchback cavalier when I was a kid. 6 cylinder too.

I loved that car.

Had three ford probes (probasauruas rex I called them) 2 were auto trans GT package and one was 5 speed 4 cyl Mazda engine ….miss those cars… you’d be surprised how many cute chics that worked at McDonald’s with me when I was a kid that loved getting in those probes!!

I had the second gen, 93 gt v6 5 speed and a black SE 4 banger auto as a teen. I had a lot of fun with those cars, I rarely see one on the road anymore.

I contemplate it almost everyday, it’s one reason I travel a lot I have found places to go and I know I’d be happy if I went. I’ve even spent 3 months straight in particular place. What I’ve found is America keeps a tight grip on you, you money, especially if you make it here. We need to group together rent a private plane and fly our cash and our stuff so we can bring what we want like that movie BARRY SEAL I think with Tom cruise was in it l, where he flew kilos all over the place for the CIA and never got caught

AMERICA limits cash, weapons, just about everything you want to take except your fucken clothes, where I’m going I only want shorts and t shirts flip flops and sneakers

raveling to Columbia soon, anyone? Wanna join me? Men only trip?

I used to buy into these things so I looked up my results on my photos cause I screenshot my answers

I was entj and also intj I tested twice back in 2017 so you’re right I tested wrong somehow


Anyways I am much different today, I focus on being led by the Holy Spirit, He breaks me out of my shell all the time when I listen, so those tests fun as they are. I would describe myself as filled with the Spirit, all things to all men. Some people hate me for it some people love me for it, either way I’m definitely no longer fit in a 4letter box from a series of questions but it is a neat tool to describe people

What are your results? If you don’t mind I know you’re also a private person
