i first bought my VIII in 2005 i now have close to 35,000 miles on her , as well of plentiful exterior,interior and motor mods. therefore me getting rid of her with such low mileage and so much money dumped into it as of now id be a fool. bottomline is im definetly keeping her these cars are rare and will continue to rise up in value and so fourth.

If I can quiet the car down and get some nice adjustable coilovers that can be comfy for everyday driving, I dont see why not.

In its current state I feel like im driving a race car.

My baby is just about the perfect car... roomy (for me anyway, used to subcompacts), fun, powerful, practical. I hope that I measure my ownership experience in decades.

My only concern will be sourcing wear items say, 5-10 years form now.

I plan on keeping my Evo. I've had it a year and it's already a 1/3rd of the way paid off. I plan on paying it off and turning it into a weekend car. I'll drive some boring crap car for a DD.

will never part with her. Only way I'll be driving another car is if I add to my collection.

I don't think I would want to get rid of mine. Unless someone wanted to trade with me for a WW IX. Other than that, I feel like the car is too unique to just get rid of. Like someone else mentioned before, I'll just add to the collection.

With the number of "older" (50+ years) car enthusiasts I've met who have told me "Man, I wish I had kept my 19XX Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxxx!!!! That car is worth so much money now." or "That car was a blast, I widh I had never sold it." I will NEVER, EVER sell my Evo.

And any other performance car that I buy that I love, I will not be selling those either. I don't want to be 50 and regret not keeping my cars.

Hooray, you have an Evo! I sold mine because the above was no where near achievable to my desires. It was fun as a race car for the 3 years I had it though! Driving it anywhere other than on track... not so much.

Hell yeah! Old school Porsche911 (964) RS. FTW! This is what you meant right?



I happily replaced my Evo with a barely used Carrera 4, and I have very very few regrets.
