We’ll be in the market for a car soon and locked in on a RAV4 PHEV. Great reviews, practical, should last a long time. But I definitely plan to get my midlife crisis roadster once its paid off

Tinker Hatfield was in his 30s/40s when he designed most of his iconic shoes. He’s 72 and still WEARING and designing kicks.
So, whatever Tink does, so will I

Politics aside I think I'm grabbing a Tesla. I've looked into it for years and know the pros and cons and it's a good buy FOR ME. In Colorado right now I can get $17500 brand off a brand new one or 13500 off a used one up front out the door based off incentives in the state. 0 APR kinda got me itching too. I rented one for a college road trip with my daughter and it was
Note I've never had a car less than 10 years old. It's a 1/3 mid life crisis 1/3 reward for raising a daughter that got into her choice of a 4 year and 1/3 I've worked hard all my life I earned it

This has deterred me from an EV for the time being. I’ve been stranded in a blizzard before and it sucks…Politics aside I think I'm grabbing a Tesla.

PHEV makes the most sense for my use case. Should be able to do most drives in EV mode 40ish mile range. For road trips and cold weather can use hybrid/gas mode.

Fingers crossed I can pull this off (convince the other half)
I sat in the back of my SIL's Odyessy and thought to myself "damn this is comfy back here, this would make a great road trip car"
(growing up we were a road trip vacation family and the minivan was decently comfy as a kid, now theres TV, more leg room, etc. lol kids have it good these days)
RAV4 is on the top of the list too. The top trim is super niceeeeeeeeee and feels luxurious (test drove it the other week). However, after all the fees/taxes, etc. it would be the same price as another sports sedan I would want lol. Probably wouldn't get the highest trim anyway though.We’ll be in the market for a car soon and locked in on a RAV4 PHEV. Great reviews, practical, should last a long time.

You deserve to treat yourself!
$17.5K is a huge incentive. I'd consider an EV if there was that much rebate back.
I don't like how everything is controlled by the screen though. Wiper blades, for real?
Side note: I thought I had another "moment that made me washed" to add, but I forgot lol I guess that in itself qualifies.
edit: I remember now. I appreciate NT much more than I did way back. Dope how the sneaker community is so diverse and can find commonality across a variety of topics/interests/hobbies/etc.

Time and place for everything. Society is going to society though. This is why people lose out on what makes them happy cause they felt as if they will be judge for what they have and don't have.

At 34 you should be beyond caring about how other people see you and what shoes/clothes youre wearing. Define your style and what you like and stick to it regardless. People always going to have something to say.

I said it a while ago in the RAN thread, but grown men calling each other "Twin" (who aren't actually twins) will never sit right with me

People say this but if you look around you don’t NEED 90% of what you have and it’s not for you.
People will always care about what other people think, that’s just being human.

playing a full court game in your 40's will humble any man thinking they still got it. you'll be slow, your moves will be old ( that Tim Hardaway crossover ain't working no more } and you'll hurt for a week after. salute to the guys in shape who still do it but theres a majority of us that reach for icy hot and motrin after these mistakes

yea if participating in full court run w/the YNs on a random one @ 40+….that is cooked behavior, not only because it is unwise but risky
that noted if you never stop or ease back into it w/realistic type vibes it’s good work…at every point in my hoop ‘career’ played with countless 40+ dudes who gave out that work using the ‘old head’ trick bag just be smart & good with your limitations/ego

yeah theres usually that one young kid who u know back in your prime would be food on the court. you're hearing em talk **** till u can't take it anymore and that "when i was younger" phrase comes out and eventually you're bringing out the olaf's and air raid's to get put in the washer like the old guys u laughed at. enjoy this youth cause you'll be old more than any time in life

as long as you keep hooping & keep that ego in check, i.e. play within your current limitations (#imtoooldforthisish, word to lieutenant murtaugh) i think it is possible to keep playing well into the 50s & not be just a cone drill out there 
it’s definitely not the norm but i’ve seen too many examples of guys still holding their own to say it can’t happen and i still use that tim hardaway cross/utep 2 step from time to time!

I see guys at the track (dirtbike) ripping at a pretty good pace then they take off their helmet and their 70 years old.

Had a MRI due to pain in my shoulder and after that the Doc hit me with the shoulder arthritis diagnosis. Guess I'll need to actually do some PT at some point to deal with this mess.

Nah buddy that was lightwork.
I started a YOGA class. I could chose the x3 per week or x2 and I was told to do 1-2 max, but I did the x3 time.
I had to skip day3 after showing up and not being able to begin on the day of the third class.
Oh man, I had pains in my damn underarm hair. I hurt in places I didn't know I had feeling.
Fine now but week 1 was stupid
