Since my younger sister was 13 years old, she's wanted a Mustang. Now, almost 60 years later, she's finally got one and it's a bit on the rare and wild side. That would be the limited-edition, 760 HP, 2020 Shelby GT500 Cobra, shown below. That thing will make you nose bleed and eyeballs flatten.
I said to her, "Good for you, sis! That kick-ass set of wheels is perfectly reasonable for a youngster like you." Getting old in body doesn't mean getting old in mind and spirit as long as your body parts can have some reasonable relationship to what you mind and spirit want to do. I think I told her not to go drag racing with it.
Edit note: She takes after our mother, who was full of "piss and vinegar." The last words my mother ever spoke were when she came out of her Alzheimers coma at my dad's funeral and loudly proclaimed that the long-winded minister could kiss her ass.
