I voted 7-10. But I hope its longer than that. I really enjoy this car. I store it in winter, and abuse it at the track in summer. I always wanted a vette, but w 2 kids, the back seat is a big selling point now. I hope to just keep making it faster!

Will there be another? Perhaps. But for somebody who SWORE up and down FOR YEARS he would never sell his car, I sure heard it from my friends when I did. But when a choice is presented if front of you, you just may sell.
As for my 2000, I have no intention on selling it anytime soon. But I won't say I'm keeping it forever. That's the jinx that made me sell the last one for debt/down payment on a house. I wouldn't think about years in the future, just what's going on now. I'm enjoying it and that's all that matters.

Kids, houses, etc. wouldn't have any bearing on me keeping or selling the Camaro though. The wife and I won't be having any kids and the house part is already taken care of.

Well i paid for my car with cash 2 years it has high miles but i still love her. I guess i would trade for a lower mileage car but im good with it. I left the car stock for prob the 1st year i had it. Then i added the bottle and all that good stuff. But i love the car to death and cant really see me getting rid of it. But i might just do it to get a new camaro but ill just have to wait and see. Im hoping my real estate career takes off to a good start but i just turned 19 years old so ive got quite a ways to think about it. Going to plan on starting my credit off by buying a new cheap car on a first buyers program and maybe finance like 9k with a 2500 down payment. We'll just have to wait and see.

Well, my current f-body was fitted with a "For Sale" sign last night, but it's not the kind of car that many people would get committed to (3400 V6, breaks every two tanks of gas, super-high mileage [218,000mi]).
However, the SS that I'm working on getting home is another story. So long as it runs well throughout the time that I'm paying on it, it'll probably stay for good. Then again, who knows? I do like TAs more than Camaros, so it might just leave for a WS6 or Formula.

Voted 7 - 10 but will keep it longer than that I am sure.
I buy the car to keep the car, if at some point it is at a down point where it is in pieces and someone is interested in taking it over and they have the money to make what they want to happen than I guess I can let them take it over.
