Definitely plan on keeping it forever! Best car I've ever had, I love it! I've even thought about getting another one too. It would be awesome to have one just to fix up and one stock for a dd.. I can dream at least.

i purchased back in 05, last year march i finally paid her off. speaking of getting rid of her, i was just continplating it recently because someone keyed her a week back, after having a spirited cruise down the turnpike today to work i once again decided dont know what it is but i just dont have the heart to get rid of her. i more then likely as i said before will be keeping her for a long time, My uncle told me over the weekend if you do get rid of it you might regret it after thinking this out i said to myself this is just one of those cars YOU DONT get rid of

I hope that when I finally get my first Evo, I will enjoy it enough to want to keep it forever. I have owned vehicles like this in the past and sold them due to breakage or needing room, but I am definitely looking for the car to grow-old with.

I only wish I had bought a VIII/IX new.

The evo is a lot of fun! I can't see myself having this much fun with a other car. Unless I get my dream car 1968 dodge charger. Haha 10mpg ftw.

I have a 2005 Evo 8 and I love it. I'm going to drive it until it either..

a) It is totaled
b) I can afford something faster
c) I get too old and feeble to drive it anymore
d) The world as we know it comes to an end, civility collapses, the roads turn to sand, and humanity consists of nothing more than a few disparate bands of nomads sifting through the wasteland we once knew as the 'land of the free and home of the brave' for their very survival in a post-apocalyptic planet.

Not sure which one it will be, but it's definitely one of the above.

I most likely will. I've got a 6.5 TME and I love her. I've owned her for almost two years now and that is longer than any other car I have ever owned by almost a year, lol. I am still not bored of her.
Every time I open the garage it's like that seen from Ferris Bueller with the ferrari.

Well, at least you seem to have kept the colors and the GT-R isn't really a downgrade. Get an X next time around

You could have tried marriage before Evo. THEN you'd realize what a sweet girl you have there. The one that takes and takes your money and lets you down when you want to have the most fun, man, that's expensive.

Marriage is grand, divorce is easily 100 grand. Keep the car, ditch the witch.
