Default How long have you owned it?

Bogus started a thread about his 7 year vette anniversary and it got me thinking. How long have you owned your current c4 vette?

Just clicked over 6 wonderful years last month. 6 years and 90,000 smile-filled miles! Never discount the possibilities of buying a car with a salvage title.

I agree.
High mile cars are great too. I bought mine with 82k. Once I realized that it was never going to be desirable because of this, I began having fun with it(and never stopped).

I've owned my '87 since '90. I purchased it totalled from SD w/ 28K miles, but it was a FL car. Rebuilt and began modding immediately. That is my grown son in the front seat.


Here it is as it sits today.


I have owned many other vettes, but the yellow '87 always stays. I added a C6 of the same color combo at this time last year.

Four and a half years but I am seriously thinking about moving to a C5. Actually that is the longest I've ever owned a car.

Bought my '87 in 1996 (I am the second owner) while I was living in Phoenix. After Phoenix, I took it to Japan for four years. Now I live in Vegas and still have it. Don't think I will ever sell it...
