A friend from across the river has just rolled up in his new NISSAN 370Z. Now he can get through his midlife crisis at 255 kph.
Not that he likes everything fast: he's also just installed two slow-closing toilet seats in his new house - at $260 a (slow) drop! Anally retentive? You bet!
Well, I am no stranger to crises, midlife or otherwise, as my whole life has been one. I have learned that no car, of whatever colour, and no toilet seat, however slow-closing, provides the answer.
The $520 spent on those two toilet seats could have bought him an airticket for a life-changing trip to Bali and back - with enough change for a few beers!
I left him thinking about it while he waited for the toilet seat to close.
