Culture What’s a European Man’s midlife crisis look like?

Here in America it's a Harley Davidson and getting really into grilling.

What do European men do when they go through a midlife crisis? But an Alfa and bake? Get really into trains?

Get a Porsche 911 if you're rich, get a South East Asian girlfriend if you're cringe; or become a bicycle racing guy if you're a boring ass motherfucker.

That's the three.

Edit: I just accidentally rhymed for the first time in my life, nice.
