Am I in this transition?

I recently sold something very near and dear to my heart; my 1998 Corvette coupe. It was a college graduation gift I bought myself back in 2000. I had many good times with it, but I'm at a point where it doesn't make sense to have it. My wife hates it and my son is 3 and can't ride in it for another 10 years. So I sold it to someone who is in a point in his life that he can get maximum value out of a cool car, ie no family.

Which gets me back to my original question, where do you go from veteran young guy to rookie old guy? Is it a certain age? Is it how you feel or decisions you make? I'm not yet 40 and don't feel old but does young guy sell the car when he doesn't need the money? I don't know.

Now how does all this relate to the society? Well I've spent some of the proceeds on upgrading my sets, most notably my Detective 27-200 set, which has helped me reach and surpass the 50,000 total points mark. So I guess at this moment, comics are cooler than Corvettes and that makes me feel older.
