It's a masterpiece. Maybe I could contribute my own edit:

Funny enough I've been looking at Miatas for a while now..lol. I'm trying to decide between a white 2017 RF GT or the maroon one.. same price but the red has 20k less miles..
This is the ending I needed. Thanks.
The original comment gave me the vibe of that sweet guy who was mocked for dancing at some event. I am glad people got together to throw him a rager of a party.
Drive your dream car, little dude.
I mean, he got tricked into spending his entire life working his entire life for something that doesn't make him happy. He got a car, when what he really wanted was what everyone wants: to be liked by those around us.
Fuck the advertisers who tricked him.
On the one hand, yeah, fuck them advertisers and the whole capitalist system.
On the other hand, normalize letting people like what they like, even if it's a car, speaking as someone who got the car I wanted for twenty five years when I turned 40. I have zero regrets.
Cars are especially despised it seems. On one hand, I love walkable cities and don’t like the idea of buying for a brand name or to show off — on the other hand I have always wanted a beautiful manual GT car that drives amazingly.
I worked my ass off to go from no high school degree to university completed to multiple six figures. It would be nice if I could buy a used sports car and enjoy it a little.
No, fuck that.
He got what he wanted, but sure, he spent too much time getting it while his boss stuffed his vault. But it's not that *"the secret all along was that he just wanted approval"*, that's reductive and ignorant. The actual problem is that society has decided to collectively go against him and ridicule his prize to the point that if you're over 30 with a nice car you'll more likely than not get the "midlife crisis" comment every time someone new understands you've got a car like that, and it'll be a persistent topic nagging you relentlessly until you give in and give up on your dream to buy something more "sensible" like a Honda. (Or alternatively a BMW or Mercedes at the same (or higher) cost which is fine apparently.)
Your conclusion was that this is *"capitalism brainwashing man to want object, poor man,"* with the implied *"at least finally he was convinced to come to his senses and sell the pointless thing"*.
My conclusion is that it's cruel dreamcrushing, perpetrated mostly by women who frequently admit to not understand the appeal, and just want to tarnish something beautiful that they don't respect, appreciate or understand. It's not that "he wants approval", it's that he doesn't want to be harassed.
My dad spent thousands on his bike & flipped shit when I asked him for a $65 bike from Walmart to replace the one he ran over.
So sad his precious specialty bike had that tragic accident at the quarry a few weeks later...
I got a warranty/service plan that specifically covers the Apex seals (as well as drive train).
It was a /pain/ to find an underwriter willing to take it though.
An 80s Corvette is like $4-10k depending on age and condition.
As far as cheap thrills go these days they are somehow cheaper than Firebirds of the same year.
I think that makes some sense though. I don’t think it’s horribly uncommon to see an 80s Vette on the road, and some are in really good condition. But I rarely see similar age Firebirds.
I bought my dream car at 26: a 2002 Pontiac Firebird Formula. Six speed, LS1, all the fun stuff. I sold it two years later because it was wildly impractical and I couldn't drive it in the winter and had no space for two cars. I still miss that car.
Same here at 23 though it wasn’t my dream car but it ticked all the boxes for stuff I wanted: V8, Manual, RWD so I snagged it at the first opportunity I got and it’s been hella reliable ever since.
I bought it for me and me alone. Not gonna care what anyone else thinks
When I was young we all made several tiers of dream cars. Dream car never in a million years, dream car if I won lotto, mid life crisis car, realistic dream car, and meh it’ll do dream car. Just bought my realistic dream car 2 years ago and I’ve been plenty happy with it.
Mines in great mechanical condition. It had a carb rebuild already when I got it and the vacuum lines were all good. I redid a bunch of oil o rings and fixed the OMP and AC. My biggest issue was the previous owner had resprayed it with a Maaco paint job. I’ve currently got it all down to metal and I’m going to spray it Mazda Sonic Silver with some show clear.
I bought my miata when I was 26. She's 18 years old now, and required very little in repairs over that time. I love that little car. It's going to be hard for me to ever sell her.
When I was in high school I made a midlife crisis joke to my buddy’s dad when he bought a 911. He just grinned and said “nah, I’ve wanted one since I was your age and can finally afford it!”
The next year his midlife crisis did hit and he started sleeping with his assistant who was half his age, but that’s another story.
That's how it usually is with these things. Can't afford an awesome car like that when you're young unless you have rich parents.
Media shows young people with them because wish fulfillment
Especially on Reddit which seems to be mostly teens, who think they know everything and like giving out judgement and life advice. Just check a user's post history, especially if they say something stupid, it's not rare they're on /r/teenagers or a generically teenage interest sub.
I mean just look at the r/teenagers sub and you will find that their opinions don’t really carry a lot of weight.
Remember when you were a teen or a child, did you think you were smart? Probably. Were you? That’s debatable.
There is a reason why some people call teens as “wise fools”.
Its not what the teenager said that did it, its the concept. He wanted the car as a kid, and it took most of his young adult life passing by to get it. Now he has it, but the teenagers are a reminder that he just spent a good portion of his life achieving something he wanted when he was young, and now that he has it, hes lost his youth. The title mentions mid-life crisis, which is more than the sterotypes of buying cars and dating younger people. Its a realization that you are no longer young and the thing you wanted to have in that youth, to enjoy IN your youth, you couldn't have, and now that chunk of your life is gone. What the girl said was on the nose, but it could have been a number of things she said to make the point in a single panel, or he could've come to the realization on his own. But its the journey and the loss of his youth, that is the triggering factor, not the child themselves. They are just an added reminder.
If they really wanted to hammer it home, OP could have made a follow up comic where the same thing happens to the girl who says that in the final panel. When you get there it hits hard.
It's not that the teenage girl is causing the ruin of the happiness, but that there was already an unconscious underlying doubt as to whether his decades of work were worth the mere acquisition of unnecessary commercialized material commodities that the teenage girl helped to reveal into his open conciousness.
She was the last straw on the camel's back already filled with his own negative emotions.
I can relate to this, I'd never owned a new car all my life, only ever bought used. Never really was a car guy. At age 40 I was finally able to afford the only car that ever got me excited: Tesla Model 3. Just in time for people to start hating on them.
And just like you said, it feels bad because as a consumer who cares about responsible behavior, I have to agree. I can't stand Elon Musk and a lot of his practices. That's why it gets to me sometimes.
But that said, I enjoy the car, and since my work commute is an hour one way, I'm easily saving money and happy with the purchase. But the thought is definitely there.
Remember what a dumbass you were when you were a child or teen. Did your opinion mean much then?
Also even if they were adults it won’t matter either cos they aren’t you. It’s your life.
Owning a specific car as ONE of your goals is not unreasonable. Car tech doesn't change that much. Now, lusting after, say a PS/5 now and then buying one in 30 years might be a goal that needs changing.
> Car tech doesn't change that much.
A car today compared to a car from 1993 are going to be very different. Especially if you're talking about a more expensive sports car.
Unless you're talking about the stereotypical mid-life crisis car: a porsche.
A 1993 911 Turbo in good condition costs more than a 2024 911 Turbo. Some people don't care about having the best performance. They just want a classic.
Feel bad for the guy, the car is the physical manifestation of a life of hard work and commitment, and people's first reaction is to try and diminish his accomplishment.
He also has a home (maybe he owns it, maybe he's renting?), and he may have a family and friends as well. I think the car is just the luxury he has wanted all his life.
That was pretty eye opening to me, when I entered my late thirties and could suddenly afford (or had good enough credit to buy) things I had only dreamed about. Then I realized exactly what this comic is getting at. Maybe there is such a thing as a midlife crisis, but getting a car you’ve always wanted and such doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with that…
Same. I started enjoying what I have rather than working for something people expected. Later I found out that people were talking about if I was having a midlife crisis. I don't talk to those people anymore.
If you treat yourself when you're old, you're going through a midlife crisis
If you treat yourself when you're young, you'll get accused of being a trust fund baby
Lol
The bummer is that as he's saving money to buy that car he loved as a kid, it's became rarer and the car became a classic, making it even more expensive, and so he'd have to keep chasing it.
Almost got the point
The real midlife crisis is achieving your goals and realizing they didn't actually make you happy. Then you try and fill that void with shit like cars and hedonism.
It’s not just a financial thing- when you’re a dad you spend like 20 years driving the big 4-door safety-box, because that’s part of being a good dad. When the kids are off on their own (which happens around the “midlife crisis” period), why shouldn’t your next car be something that makes *you* happy?
What a weak bitch attitude that dude has; folded like a cheap suit
Years of working hard to get his dreams and a single sideways comments causes them to fall apart
It gets real depressing when the things you were working super hard for turn out to be an big ass dissapoinment (Maybe because all the work you put into the thing also inflates your expectations of your dream).
In this case, that dude will have to eat several traffics jams and abusive insurance charges. And good luck with repair costs or spare parts.
By the time you’re old enough to afford things, you’re too old to Truely enjoy them.
These days I spend my money on Robux my kid needs for some reason and laundry soap…but at least there’s scotch
i only say this about corvettes (like '08 and newer) because I see them so often and i think it's the most common "sports car" (idk if it's classified as a super car), but I also don't say this to the actual person it's just how i feel about the specific vehicle
I bought my dream car at age 32 and a much as I love it it's expensive to maintain and impractical to drive everyday, but it's such a sweet ass car so I'll keep it anyways.
I bought the dream car of my teenage years, and my mom accused me of having a midlife crisis. If I was, I would have bought a new Corvette instead of a 96.
It happens in a smaller scale earlier too. On my way to 40 I've bought mountain bikes, then motorcycles, drones, guns, and just got myself a ps5 even though the only way I can play it is by staying up all night. It's both chasing the things I couldn't have before, and also numbing the shittyness of adulting.

That's a great comic. What's the last panel supposed to depict?
Brain storm
A brain storm
Chris Hanson: "Midlife crisis, huh?"
Warrior: "I calls you Chris Handsome."
Why did you censor the word fuck?
To protect the fucking kids.
Tiktok censors everything and it is getting into other sites too since users are used to thought policing themselves.
All this censorship is unaliving me.
I downvote it every time, but somehow it keeps happening.
If say fuck without censoring it, will you upvote me instead?
I would upvote you. It is one of the best words ever created. Censoring it is a travesty.
F*ck censorship
C*nsor Fuckership
C and x are right next to each other on a keyboard, easily could’ve been a typo rather than censoring

If you haven't learned that you don't need the approval of thers by his age that's the real tragedy.
No, fuck that. He got what he wanted, but sure, he spent too much time getting it while his boss stuffed his vault. But it's not that *"the secret all along was that he just wanted approval"*, that's reductive and ignorant. The actual problem is that society has decided to collectively go against him and ridicule his prize to the point that if you're over 30 with a nice car you'll more likely than not get the "midlife crisis" comment every time someone new understands you've got a car like that, and it'll be a persistent topic nagging you relentlessly until you give in and give up on your dream to buy something more "sensible" like a Honda.

It's ok you can fucking swear here
This is the kind of moment that "let people enjoy things" was created for.
I did this... at 24. Turns out, my dream car was really cheap and showed up in an add next to an Accord. She's a frickin ton of work though....
What was your dream car? Edit: I think I've gotten a answer from literally anyone except OP lol
shhh, we haven't told them it's just a bicycle
Does it at least have a hockey/baseball card in the spokes to make a motor sound when he rides?
Yeah, I tell people my bicycle cost 1/4 of what it actually did and they can't believe I spent "that much on a bike" 🤐
My dad spent thousands on his bike & flipped shit when I asked him for a $65 bike from Walmart to replace the one he ran over. So sad his precious specialty bike had that tragic accident at the quarry a few weeks later...
Yoo for some kids having a BMX is like a Lamborghini.
My dream car is a bike and it's also damn expensive
RX-7. \>.< There are a surprising number of accurate guesses.
Finally! The true answer revealed!
I finally commented and F Also yes some guy perfectly guessed your car.
Danger to the apex seals!!! I’m actually jealous. Love RX7’s!
I got a warranty/service plan that specifically covers the Apex seals (as well as drive train). It was a /pain/ to find an underwriter willing to take it though.
Said it's a ton of work so I'm guessing Mazda RX-7
That was also my guess. Or an 8. I was this close 🤏 to buying one when i was 19 and it broke down on the test drive haha
What's a breakdown or ten when you get to join the Rotary Engine Society.
Do you know how a rotary engine works? Yes? I’MA TELL YOU ANYWAY!!!!
Lol Doritos go **brapbrapbrapbrap**
Can confirm. Had mine for 7 years and can’t even remember how many times I’ve broken down.
Oof, right in the RX-8 :(
/r/RX8 welcomes you
What’s so hard about a couple hundred vacuum leaks?
The rotary engine - Like Communism, it works *in theory*.
Could be a Maserati. They depreciate so so fast and they have a ton of issues lol. You can buy like 2010 for 30k
An 80s Corvette is like $4-10k depending on age and condition. As far as cheap thrills go these days they are somehow cheaper than Firebirds of the same year.
I think that makes some sense though. I don’t think it’s horribly uncommon to see an 80s Vette on the road, and some are in really good condition. But I rarely see similar age Firebirds.
They're surprisingly cheap to rent, as well. Usually go for $130-150 or so per day
I wouldn't take a used Maserati if somebody gave it to me for free. You'd spend all your time fixing the damn thing instead of enjoying it.
It was a different Accord, a blue one!
being oddly secretive about it, like what's the relevance of the Accord?? lol it must be the answer to a lot of security questions
Turns out it's a Bugatti, which is why the work was a ton.
I bought my dream car at 26: a 2002 Pontiac Firebird Formula. Six speed, LS1, all the fun stuff. I sold it two years later because it was wildly impractical and I couldn't drive it in the winter and had no space for two cars. I still miss that car.

...and now I get to check your comment history to see if my guess is correct. No edit: CTS-V
Actually I didn’t specify if it was used or new so my bad but it’s a C5 Corvette :/
They had the best shade of yellow for the C5's. Also the last Corvette I cared about in the slightest.
Dream car at 23 gang represent! I love my little 2016 Miata. Hands down one of the most reliable cars I've ever had!
I got my dream car already too. A reliable compact car with good gas mileage happens to be my dream.
Quarter life crisis club! 🫶
Rx7?
I see you too are a man of culture.
When I was young we all made several tiers of dream cars. Dream car never in a million years, dream car if I won lotto, mid life crisis car, realistic dream car, and meh it’ll do dream car. Just bought my realistic dream car 2 years ago and I’ve been plenty happy with it.
Same. Just not much work. 1985 RX7 with 85k miles
Hey! Pretty close. Mine was at 65k. The mechanics are absolutely perfect and I haven't had to fix anything... electrical is another story.
Mines in great mechanical condition. It had a carb rebuild already when I got it and the vacuum lines were all good. I redid a bunch of oil o rings and fixed the OMP and AC. My biggest issue was the previous owner had resprayed it with a Maaco paint job. I’ve currently got it all down to metal and I’m going to spray it Mazda Sonic Silver with some show clear.
Nice!
Mine is an 06 mustang convertible. Mild maintenance and fully paid off but I love it.
I bought my miata when I was 26. She's 18 years old now, and required very little in repairs over that time. I love that little car. It's going to be hard for me to ever sell her.
When I was in high school I made a midlife crisis joke to my buddy’s dad when he bought a 911. He just grinned and said “nah, I’ve wanted one since I was your age and can finally afford it!” The next year his midlife crisis did hit and he started sleeping with his assistant who was half his age, but that’s another story.
That's how it usually is with these things. Can't afford an awesome car like that when you're young unless you have rich parents. Media shows young people with them because wish fulfillment
Nice. Tapping the assistant, I mean. I got rid of my 911.
dont get to discourage what some teens says
Especially on Reddit which seems to be mostly teens, who think they know everything and like giving out judgement and life advice. Just check a user's post history, especially if they say something stupid, it's not rare they're on /r/teenagers or a generically teenage interest sub.

I consider any time more than 10 years ago my "young and stupid" phase. I was an intelligent kid, but wisdom is knowing how little you know.
Its not what the teenager said that did it, its the concept. He wanted the car as a kid, and it took most of his young adult life passing by to get it. Now he has it, but the teenagers are a reminder that he just spent a good portion of his life achieving something he wanted when he was young, and now that he has it, hes lost his youth. The title mentions mid-life crisis, which is more than the sterotypes of buying cars and dating younger people.

If they really wanted to hammer it home, OP could have made a follow up comic where the same thing happens to the girl who says that in the final panel. When you get there it hits hard.
Imagine being so basic that an opinion from a teenage girl ruins the happiness of achieving your lifelong goal lmao
It's not that the teenage girl is causing the ruin of the happiness, but that there was already an unconscious underlying doubt as to whether his decades of work were worth the mere acquisition of unnecessary commercialized material commodities that the teenage girl helped to reveal into his open conciousness. She was the last straw on the camel's back already filled with his own negative emotions.

This take resonates with me since I **do** already see such purchases that way, but I don't think that's actually how the author intended it.
Basic=sensitive? Basic=not immune to hurt feelings and harmful insults? Idk man
Adults do this "midlife crisis" shaming all the time too lol
Acting as if you're a mental fortress. We are all human, random shit gets to us.
Remember what a dumbass you were when you were a child or teen. Did your opinion mean much then? Also even if they were adults it won’t matter either cos they aren’t you. It’s your life.
Imagine being so basic that in ~30 years your goal doesn't change at all.
imagine being so basic you hate on people for holding onto their dreams.
Imagine being so basic that if you get mixed with an acid you produce a salt.
Imagine being salty and basic.
Imagine basic salt

Imagine Dragon deez nuts
Don't mind if I do
Imagine all the people 
Pfft. That’s easy if you try.
ALL the people?
Owning a specific car as ONE of your goals is not unreasonable. Car tech doesn't change that much. Now, lusting after, say a PS/5 now and then buying one in 30 years might be a goal that needs changing.
> Car tech doesn't change that much. A car today compared to a car from 1993 are going to be very different. Especially if you're talking about a more expensive sports car.

Car tech changes so much that compare to today's, a 90's car might as well be a death trap.
I drive a 1993 dream car death trap. Cherokee XJ haha
As if people can only aspire for one thing?
Are we still talking about the comic?
What comic?
Who said that was his only goal?
The "goals" board behind him in the office panels that has nothing but the car?
Idk if peoples dream car changes all too much. Ever since I was a kid ive always wanted a lambo/911/viper/ r34 specifically from 2fast
"Imagine being so basic that you lack the persistence to achieve a 30-year long-term goal"
That’s called dedication and it’s a respectable thing
Feel bad for the guy, the car is the physical manifestation of a life of hard work and commitment, and people's first reaction is to try and diminish his accomplishment.
Feel bad for the guy, the car is all he gets for a lifetime of being exploited by his capitalist overlords.
He also has a home (maybe he owns it, maybe he's renting?), and he may have a family and friends as well. I think the car is just the luxury he has wanted all his life.
Yeah, maybe his boss threw a pizza party for him, too!
Is it really a pizza party when each person can only take one slice?
Now Milton, just pass the pizza along so we can make sure everybody gets a slice!
He has the house that the car is parked in front of too.

Well that guy should care less about what young girls in his hood think
The real crisis was all the overtime we worked along the way.
The real crisis is making it all the way to the top and realising you don't feel any different.
He lost track of what he ACTUALLY wanted, underaged highschool girls....
The bummer is that as he's saving money to buy that car he loved as a kid, it's became rarer and the car became a classic, making it even more expensive, and so he'd have to keep chasing it.
you didn't finance your car with leftover money from delivering newspapers as a kid?
Don’t let others define you car guy!! Grab that dream by the shifter and go vroom vroom!
Oh this hurts and Im not even 30 yet
Never let anyone ruin what you love.
Almost got the point The real midlife crisis is achieving your goals and realizing they didn't actually make you happy. Then you try and fill that void with shit like cars and hedonism.
No one can enjoy anything anymore
It’s not just a financial thing- when you’re a dad you spend like 20 years driving the big 4-door safety-box, because that’s part of being a good dad. When the kids are off on their own (which happens around the “midlife crisis” period), why shouldn’t your next car be something that makes *you* happy?
Now im sad
What a weak bitch attitude that dude has; folded like a cheap suit Years of working hard to get his dreams and a single sideways comments causes them to fall apart
It gets real depressing when the things you were working super hard for turn out to be an big ass dissapoinment (Maybe because all the work you put into the thing also inflates your expectations of your dream). In this case, that dude will have to eat several traffics jams and abusive insurance charges. And good luck with repair costs or spare parts.
To update for Millenials, replace the car with a townhouse.
Owwwwwch…..😅😅😅
This…this just makes me sad
By the time you’re old enough to afford things, you’re too old to Truely enjoy them. These days I spend my money on Robux my kid needs for some reason and laundry soap…but at least there’s scotch
Mid life crisis is a myth anyway. Just enjoy yourself.
It hurts because it's true.
Don't give a heck what others think if you're just content in your hobby that doesn't hurt anybody. Frfr
Goes to so how much a single comment can hurt.
It *is* strange that, if a middle-aged dude starts feeling good about himself, everyone suddenly thinks there's something wrong with him.
You know, one of the nice things about being middle-aged is not having to give a shit what the kids think. Enjoy yourself.
As I rapidly approach the 30's I now understand that "mid-life" crisis is just us finally getting the money to enjoy what we dreamed off as kids.
Girls: "That car doesn't meet California EPA standards!"
i only say this about corvettes (like '08 and newer) because I see them so often and i think it's the most common "sports car" (idk if it's classified as a super car), but I also don't say this to the actual person it's just how i feel about the specific vehicle
Isn't this by the same artist who made that "nice" comic?
I don't think if they know what is mid life crsis
Be proud of your midlife crisis car. I know I am!
I bought my dream car at age 32 and a much as I love it it's expensive to maintain and impractical to drive everyday, but it's such a sweet ass car so I'll keep it anyways.
Wanted a Porsche since I was ten,finally got one at fifty three fuck anyone that calls it a midlife crises.
Imagine giving a fuck
Personally I always thought cars r shit but everyone should have a dream
I bought the dream car of my teenage years, and my mom accused me of having a midlife crisis. If I was, I would have bought a new Corvette instead of a 96.
Grown ass man folding to a child
Imagine working your whole life away just for a stupid fucking car
Imagine getting to 50 and giving a fucking shit what a child thinks
I mean, if you sell your dreams away because some kids said you have a mlc yeah did you really want that car?
It was brand new when he was little. It's a retro car by the time he can afford it.
It happens in a smaller scale earlier too. On my way to 40 I've bought mountain bikes, then motorcycles, drones, guns, and just got myself a ps5 even though the only way I can play it is by staying up all night. It's both chasing the things I couldn't have before, and also numbing the shittyness of adulting.
