This is definitely a first world problem, but now that the Tesla tech amazingness has worn off, I just drive it around like a minivan. Whenever I hear Elon Musk talk about the next advance in self driving, rather than being appropriately excited, I think.. oh great, so we will make driving even more boring.

I test drove a M2C about a year ago and my reaction was.. "it's alive!" I loved it. But at "my age" I'm debating if an M3/M4 is more appropriate. Or even a 911, although I'm loathe to spend that kind of money on a car. Is the M2C more of a car for 20 year olds or 30 year olds? This sounds like a stupid question in my head even as I type it. But it's a thing. You know, I shouldn't be wearing skinny jeans at some point either (not that they fit me, but you know what I mean).
Yes, you are too old. You should buy it and donate it to a younger person like me .

In all honesty, if it's going to be your 2nd or 3rd car, then perhaps you should look into a Boxster, Cayman, Corvette, etc. as well. I would not worry about the image of an M2 though. It's no Evo or Civic Type R or anything. Not that people of any age can't enjoy those cars, but I mean to point out that I don't think the M2 has a stereotype at all.
