And buying a nice car doesn’t always mean you’re having a midlife crisis, I don’t think the industry would survive on that alone. The article isn’t talking about depression, it’s talking about a midlife crisis. You didn’t discredit the opinion of the article by pointing out you like to bike when you’re depressed, but your comment did come across as dismissing it and making it about yourself juuuuust saying.

I bought a nice truck, I’m not going to dismiss that this is a common thing people do during a midlife crisis because I’m not at midlife.
