Cuban Midlife Crisis is a temporary questline in The Simpsons: Tapped Out. It was introduced in the "Havana Wild Weekend" episode tie-in content update.

After starting the update
	Is everything all right, Homie? You have that "I-ate-everything-in-the-fridge" sad look, but there's still food in the fridge.
	I've got those things Lisa plays on her sax.
	The blues?
	No, the keys. Keys to the same sucky car I've been driving for 20 years.
	It doesn't even have a brand. There comes a time in a man's life when he wants to drive a brand-name car.
	We can't afford a new car, but maybe you can boost your mood by fixing up your old car. In some cultures, men express themselves by personalizing their cars.
	In my culture, men express themselves by not expressing themselves... then going nuts.
Task: "Make Homer Fix Up His Car". The job takes place at Homer's Car or the Simpson House and takes 30 minutes.
	Goodness, Homer, where did you find all those tubes?
	Under the hood. There was a whole closet full of old junk in there.
	Is it safe with all that stuff taken out?
	Safer than ever, since it doesn't go. Time to get a new car!
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
	Dad, I need your help.
	If it's women trouble, there ain't nothing that can't be fixed with a Mexican divorce. Oaxaca's the fastest, Jalisco's the cheapest, and Acapulco'll throw in another wedding.
	No, I need your help picking out a car. All I know about them is how to hire people to drive you around in them using your phone.
	You got it! Whatcha looking for -- pushrod V-8, Edelbrock cylinder heads, four-piston brakes?
	Brakes, definitely. And a motor. And one of those cup-holders that can hold a big cup or a little cup. That's a must. Although I'd settle for big-cup-only.
	I'll take it from here, son.
Task: "Make Homer List Out Required Features". The job takes place at the Retirement Castle or Simpson House and takes 30 minutes. If Grampa is owned: Task: "Make Grampa Scour the Classifieds". The job takes place at the Retirement Castle or Simpson House and takes 30 minutes.
Quest reward: 100 and 10 1958 Car
	It only has 1,958 miles, that's amazing!
	That's the model year, ya ninny.
	I wondered why someone from the year 500,000 was selling their car so cheap. Figured it was the rise of the robots or whatever.

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
	I can't drive this old hunk of junk. My investors will lose confidence in my dinosaur theme park before we splice gene one!
	That's why we're going to fix it up. Okay, first we need to read the manual, then we need to make a checklist...
	Ugh! Working on a car should be manly, like binge-watching a TV show or eating a giant sandwich. This is like homework.
	Did somebody say homework?
	I did. Did somebody say binge watching TV and eating a giant sandwich?
	You did.
	And I'm off!
Task: "Make Lisa Fix Up the Car". The job takes place at the 1958 Car and takes 3 hours. If Grampa is owned: Task: "Make Grampa Fix Up the Car". The job takes place at the 1958 Car and takes 3 hours. Task: "Make Homer Eat a Giant Sandwich". The job takes place at the Simpson House and takes 6 seconds.
Reward: Pristine 1958 Car
	I don't remember this unsightly blemish.
	That's your reflection in the hand-buffed wax, idjit.
	My reflection looks fat! Can you buff me out -- or at least buff me more buff?
	You don't deserve a beaut like this!
	Deserving is un-American. Make with the keys, old timer.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
	You know what, Dad? As a sign of thanks for fixing up this car, and picking it out, and unknowingly letting me pay for it with your credit card... I want you to have it!
	Really?! That's the nicest, and quite possibly only nice, thing you've ever done for me.
	And to show you my appreciation for your appreciation, I'm going to let you take her on her maiden spin.
	Now treat her like a lady -- open her door, push back her seat, and go to town in her!
Message	Tune in this Sunday at 8/7c on FOX to see Grampa get his groove back!
Task: "Make Homer Make Vroom-Vroom Sounds". The job takes place at the 1958 Car and takes 30 minutes.
Quest reward: 100 and 10

On September 21, 2016
	You ruined the car without leaving the driveway!
	Like you were going to do any better with it. You're old!
Message	Swap back and forth between both versions of the 1958 Car!
Task: "Reach Level 19 and Build the Retirement Castle". Task: "Make Grampa Ogle the Chassis". The job takes place at the 1958 Car and takes 4 hours.
	This car makes me feel young again -- young like a baby. I need a nap.
