longest you ever kept a car?

26 years old...Have had over 27 cars since I was 16. Only a few of them I have ever had long enough to put new tags on. Quite a few I sold before the temp even expired.




The perks of your family owning a dealership

I still own the 1970 Camaro Z28 that I bought new. For anybody trying to do the math on that one, bear in mind that I was only 4 yrs. old when I bought it.

OK. First of all I may have been older than 4- my memory isn't all that clear. The car is the original Hugger Orange w/ white stripes. Exterior looks factory except for American Torque Thrust II 17" mags & sticky modern tires. I added better sway bars & bushings, so between that & the good tires it really handles more like a modern performance car.

Motor is original block with 11:1 comp. ratio, has a bigger solid lifter cam, AFR aluminum heads, headers w/ good 2 1/2" exhaust system. It's probably putting out somewhere around 450 HP. Trans is the original Muncie close ratio 4 speed. Would like a 5 speed but no rush since I just use it for pleasure drives anyway.

I hope that the info you were looking for. If not, hit me up.

a car, besides marriage, is probably the single worst investment (if you can even call it that) out there...but to each his own

sports cars are not an investment. I like to say it is a hobby more then anything
