Dad's Midlife Crisis

So I've bought this car but I haven't been able to figure out how to tell Rita about it...




I figured that since I'm getting close to 40 that I'm at least past or right at "mid-life" as they like to call it. They tell me that this particular model of Mercedes is a custom job and isn't cheap, but I really didn't pay attention to all that. Since my 401k is going to be worthless in 2025 anyway, I figured I would just use that.

So enjoy the photos...but don't tell Rita. Right now, a friend is holding it for me at the Wells Fargo bank parking lot until I can bring it home. :-)



In case anyone is wondering, it's a Mclaren and is featured here:

This car retails at over $400,000.

Maybe that might answer the question. ;-)

I was trying to decide if this was a joke too until I saw the comments. That is one pricey car. But man it is a beauty! So where are you guys living now? I haven't been able to check in here for awhile. Looks like you have had a great summer.
