I'll keep it as long as I'm enjoying it, so probably till it or I die.

On second thought if it dies first, its a good excuse to put in a 3.4l engine.

well since I owe more on the car than what it is worth...and am now putting a fabspeed exhaust and new tires on it...looks like I will have it for about ever. It is not quick enough for me, but gets the job done and I dont race it. Great car to have some fun in. Each year I will do some major mods to it as money permits. First was tires and exhaust to make it sound better.

Next year, Wheels powder coated Black and a new top with glass window. As well will do the clutch and IMS.

Year after that..probably have the front end resprayed. It is in great shape but a couple chips and stuff that do not go with the rest of the car.

After that...anything necessary to keep it running like it does.

I'm in it for the long haul.

I had a speedster - 356 for about a year and sold it...it was not as much fun as this one. Got more looks for sure...couldnt take it out without someone stopping me, but this one is sleek and classy and for it being 10 years old...basically looks new!

When I bought this car 7 years ago it was supposed to be just a 2 year toy. I have been sucked into the vortex. Maybe a Cay S PDK in a few years if I don't blow all my cash on fast women.
