How long have you owned your 7.
Directed at the FD owners.

I was just wondering how long most of you have owned your FD, and how long you plan on keeping it.

It's a 93 that I got in mid 94 so I've had it going on 11 years now....80K miles on it.

I can't see getting rid of it at this point, so it's a keeper.

I have had mine for 5 years,3 months...just paid it off 3 months ago. It has not run for the last 2 years, and was paying for it to sit in my garage, to taunt me continuously. Hope to get a 99and up JDM half cut when Uncle Sam releases my tax refund. So, with that said, I will be keeping it for a while.....

Thats the path I will be taking, paying for it for 5 years and sure as hell hoping it wont be taunting me for any of those 5 years.

I've had mine for about 3 months. Drove it for the month of sept. then put it away for the winter. I'm gonna bring it back out in april. I will keep it forever probably, its my dream car so i'll probably be buried with it or something.
