If I can afford to, I'll definitely keep it. I don't see a reason to get another car. The wife has an Accord for all the "practical" stuff.

Keeping mine forever here. I have a coworker who still has his 240 with 50,000 on it. I have spoken to too many people who regretted selling their Z's over the years. It's not about being the fastest or best built or even the most "bling". It's a Z, 'nuff said.

Some see a car, others see an icon.

even if i never drive it again i'll keep it, assuming i get to do everything i want to do to it. at that point it will be a showcar or a track car but i'd do that before i sold it...

Had my 03 since 06. Lots of people said that they have had all kinds of problems, mine has 95k miles on it and no problems so far. I'll keep it and eventually turn it into a weekend ride. In the two years I'll be back in Germany, so I'll buy a hoopty for $300. I kept my 93 Altima until over 450k miles and she ran like new until my cousin begged me for it.


My Z will stay!

This is exactly the way I feel. I've talked with my dad too about all of the great cars that he left behind to move on to newer, better cars and now regrets deeply. Most of all his 1968 Mustang Fastback and Triumph TR6.

I guess I can't really make any guarantees yet, as I don't own a 350Z yet. Still shopping for the perfect one. My plans involve keeping it forever, a very long time at minimum so I'm forcing myself to be patient and wait until I find one that I know 100% is the one I want. The plan was to keep my Z32 300zx forever and add a DD, and god I loved that car, but it got hit and totaled and with the lack of good condition low mileage Z32's like mine was- I decided it was time to move on to the Z33 (07-08). I'm sure a lot of you guys on here are the same way, I become emotionally attached to cars after I put in some good time driving and working on them. After driving a few of them I can tell the 350Z will be no exception.

In 4 years or so when I'm done paying off whatever 350Z I get I'll add a DD, probably a Hyundai Genesis sedan, and let the 350Z take it easy for a while.
