How long has your car been with you?

I was reading the forum and I ran across this thread:

The movie looks amazing and it made me think about how long some of us have had a relationship with our cars. I know certain people buy and sell cars a lot during their lives, while others tend to have one of just a few cars. I fall under the latter category. So I want to start this off and say that I have owned my car since I was 16. I got it around April of 1986. So next month my relationship with my car will celebrate its 23rd anniversary.

Anyone else?

I got my 69 Camaro street racer in 1989

I still have the 67 camaro that belonged to my sister in the early 80's. I learned to drive in it and took my driving test in it in 1986. I hope to pass it on to my sons at some point. Its inline for the PT treatment as a father son project for them in 3 or 4 years.

Got my 69 Camaro in 87.

Sept. 15, 2002. I was 17. I always kinda felt my car has grown with me.

Nov. 1991 I too was 17.

[Mossimo777]

Got my '68 in 2006.

We bought ours December 18, 2000. It was our Christmas present to each other.

Got my 73 in 84 and my 67 in 98....wow I've had the 67 for going on 11 years and it still isn't done.

Bought my SS car in December 1994, when I was 12... still never driven it though, so while it's not for sale, it's not really that sentimental to me either.

The car that means more to me is the Malibu I bought in May 1998 when I was 15, and restored as a father/son project while in high-school, and have been driving and modifying since.

I've had my car going on 11 years now. For 8 of those years it was my only friend in life and the only thing I could depend on to keep me happy. I don't know if anyone else relates to that, but that movie Mr. Vengeance posted strikes a nerve in me. I DEFINITELY want to go watch that one.

Only 10 years this year, but will be with us for many more I hope

Traded another car for my '64 GTO back in 1989. The car I traded for it ('57 VW) I had owned since 1976, it was the car I drove in high school.

I bought my '64
Tempest back in 1996.

I still have a '66 VW Type II pickup that I bought back in 1985.

I'm the original owner of my '02 WS6, I took delivery of it in October of '01.

I keep most of my cars for a loooong time.

I too traded my sister for the Camaro around 1982. It's been in the family since around 1977.

[JEFFTATE]

I've had the current '69 since 2003.
But I sure miss the first one I ever had.
Wish I'd have kept it.
I bought it in '83.
That one was special..

So you traded your sister for a Camaro? Wonder what I could have traded my brother for...
