true, but in many cases people are starting out they dont have the money always to buy a merc coupe, they have responsibilities, building a career, building a marriage, having time for kids, saving for that down payment on the house.
They may have a sporty car in the 20's but most really are not in a position to get their dream car, or rather the achievable dream car..(there is a diff)
so you have kids, you get the family hauler, a coupe just wont cut it. Most guys will tell you that there comes a time that for a few years they really dont have much of a personal life or rather they have to give up a lot of what they did.
Men will not go into saying what all they give up that is dear to them for the marriage and for the family. If you look at this forum you will find women complaining about all kinds of things, but you dont see men do the same, because in general they will look at the competing priorities, needs, wants and make a choice and go with it. As the need of those priorities changes, they start giving more importance to their own needs/wants they had sacrificed. Whether its toys, time or entertainment.
X2 - but I don't see that much of expense car buying in pakistani community. How many uncles do you know go off and buy expensive cars?
So what do they do when they have a mid life crisis?
Do you think they don't have it because they are allthe time striving to get ahead in a country like US?
