Plan on driving mine into the ground. After it's in the ground I plan on finding a nice engine to transplant in and keep it going. I think I'll keep it till it's rusteed, even when I get another car I'll still have this around to beat on. Of course I'm just happy I don't have car payments anymore.

maybe after i'm satisfied with the mods i've done to it, then i'll look for another project. But i'll definitely keep my car, cause there's not another car in the world that has the same sweet sound as the boxer engine.

I'll keep my STI until the Supra comes back, or Nissan brings over the Skyline. I've seen rumors posted of either of the 2 being available in 2007.

Yep. Either the Cayman S or Carrera for me. Although the WRX will be demoted to driveway parking in that case.

There's a really nice JBP 04 Forester XT sitting on the lot at Marin Subaru... I think it's calling your name!

Whaaa?? GT-4 4-Life eh???

I was gonna keep my WRX forever, bought it new and all. Then I got sick of 4 doors, found a great '01 RS coupe and never looked back. My WRX was nice, but this GM6 is definitely more me. I couldn't pass up selling the WRX because I thought the resale value would drop like crazy - and I was right. Someday, maybe my RS will become a WRX though much less need for speed here on an island.

Oh and Marc that avatar is HAAAT.

PS. Thank you Krinkov for bringing your avatar to yet another thread. Oooooooh.

Nope. My WRX is probably a 4-5 year car for me (3 years of loan + 1-2 more years). By that time, I'll need another project.
Probably similar for me, although looking at 6-7 years old most likely when I get rid of it. That said, something (affordable) that I'd rather own would have to come out first, and so far that hasn't happened

The Impala SS is likely for life
