Default Who's in it for the long haul?

Short and sweet!
Too many jumping ship and it's starting to make me sad.
Obviously, I'm here for awhile with a bunch of future mods in the works.

I know FWD sucks, I know there is no aftermarket support, I know the trans gets a bad rap. I know... I know.. I know...

Who's staying?

I am for now, but no mods planned other than my tune. But I like to get rid of cars before 100K miles, so I figure I have a year and a half left.

I certainly hope to be in it for the long haul.

Does not mean I am not looking at another (additional) car though, like a trans am.

I'm in it... got 111,000 miles on her now...

and even when I get my new camaro (hopefully next year), I was going to sell it to have money for the camaro, but the WIFE actually told me to keep the Monte too!! she doesn't want to see it go either hahah NOICE!!!

so at that point, the Monte would become my winter car, heheh...

Damn, you better watch out. That slow car virus has been floating around. Make sure to get you times under 2 min in the 1/4 and top speed of 100 mph not 47.8 which is what you're at now. Do these things and you should be okay.

Jk man. That sucks. I'm starting to get a lil bored on there, basically got everything now... Just waiting til BF3 now.

Anyways still in HS, drive my car on the weekends if its nice out, which pumps out 7k miles a year. I'll keep it for another 8+ years thru college, graduate school, and into my adult life. Yay!

Bought the car new, got 65,000 on it but only put on 5000 a year now . Never getting rid of her, always exciting to jump behind the wheel. Not doing much to the car this year, but have a feeling inferno hood in 2012
