Default Keeping your stang

How long do you guys plan on keeping your stang?..I will probably keep mine till after I graduate then see what the value is cause by then there probably wont be anything else left to do to it

Im keeping mine until I graduate and get a downpayment on a house. Then, if I happen to stumble upon an 03 cobra in good shape (yea right...) then Ill scoop it up.

I've never owned any of my 18 cars longer than 2 years, but this one I plan on breaking that record with because I have so much to do to it. Just depends on what I run across in the future. Like I always say, "everything has a price". If I did find something else I liked and the offer was good enough on mine, it would be gone!

From 2000-2006 I've had 4 stangs.....2 v-6's, vert gt and mach 1. So I don't have a history of hanging on to cars very long, but I'm planning on keeping the mach forever. I would love to just be able to put it away and drive it only every now and again....not quite there yet!

Last I heard, that was not going to be until 2010. GM has no money for the project.

As far as keeping, I have no plans to get rid of it. As long as it is fun, it will be parked here.

I read in the new Motor Trend that plans for the "NEW NEW GTO" have already been scrapped and there will be no plan for Pontiac to follow the camaro (if it happens) with a firebird/ta. The concept camaro is as far as I bet it gets.

I plan on getting a house within 2-3 years from now.....i'm thinking about making it my weekend driver and getting a beater car. And when the Stang engine starts to crap out on me i'm gonna turn it into a straight drag car....or maybe a show car havent decided yet

I love the new Challenger, thinking of buying one myself. But I plan on keeping the Stang too (paid for, why not?)...

Ford and Dodge have always been my favorite makers for classic muscle cars.

Same here, once I get through college I'll trade it in for a 2004 GT... not a real fan of the 2005's and 2006's though.
