Plan on keeping it a long time. That being said, let's see what the 2016 Gen6 looks like :-)

3-5 years I am sure by then I will have to scratch the new car itch. Thinking maybe a Jeep wrangler with 33 or 34" tires 2" lift. My favorite toy is always my next toy. Never know see where the finances are then and what I can justify spending.

I normally keep a car until it starts costing me too much money due to repairs. Meaning it's in the shop more than i am riding it.

I waited 5 years for this car. put a lot into getting it the way I want it with plans to do much more. This is one that will be kept close as long as I can afford to do so

We have had our 1969 Camaro since 1985. The 1993 Z28 was owned for 9 years, the 2001 WS6 was owned for 11 years, and I would assume this car will be around for about 10 years. Buy what you really want, don't car what someone else has, and it is easy to love a car for a very long time.

A 69 and a WS6, nice collection.

How long I keep mine depends on the next gen muscle car landscape. Except for the Mustang. No way

I'm still driving my 93 Z28 that i bought new as a daily driver. That car has just a little over 100,000 miles and 2010 SS is almost 5 years old and 10,000 miles. I keep cars if i enjoy them.

This! I'm young too and know all too well there is gunna be way nicer badass cars that will make most think twice lol. Mine is 100% paid for in full and is outta here in less than 3 years maybe sooner if the hellcat or 6th gen is realistic and a performer.

My 2011 IOM Convert. Was my dream and I have plans for her to be the first of my collection.
My wife wants a Synergy green model.
Would like my collection to include a car from each generation.
would like a 1LE, a Z28 and a Hotwheels edition.
of course that means a bigger garage to hold them, decisions decisions decisions!

Keeping it till repairs cost more than a new car payment.

1camaro70 · 07-18-2014, 12:23 PM

when I look back, I should have kept my 1970, will keep this one, will probably just buy new 2016+ once they offer blue color again, or a new Corvette- in blue.
