    My fiancee thinks I'm crazy because I want to keep my GP til the day I die. Replacing things as needed, and rebuilding as needed. I know I'm not crazy because I'm extremely attached to my GP! Obviously I'll have something newer as well.

    So how long do you plan to keep yours?

    Pontiac's are clearly gonna be collectors items later in life, so I'm keeping my 94 GXP as long as possible =)

    It will probably take you more than 4 years to get through "collage" with that spelling! *Sorry, just too funny!

    This car will be here another year or so, until the wife gets bored with it and we either get a nicer car, or something for a future family.

    I am planning on having it forever. It is already paid for and it is a third car for us. I just need to convince the wife to let me keep it and buy the G8.

    I plan on keeping my white one forever. It was one of my dream cars I always wanted and i've pretty much built it my way and I cannot complain. Its repayed me by being a good solid car without any problems.

    Black one, i'm not sure on it. Its been a good car too, if I can keep it around I will.

    My TB SS ranks up there with my White GTP.

    If I play my cards correctly, hopefully i'll eventully own most of my dreams cars, buy some land, build a nice house, and build a nice building to store my cars.....

    I have only had my Gxp for 4 months and already did 20k damage to it. Now I have to keep it because nobody else will want it.

    Unless I hit the lottery and get the Ferrari F430 Challenge I want...then I'll have it until it rusts off the frame.

    Then I'll do a frame off restoration
