I plan on keeping mine for maybe 3 years, I want to boost my credit up, enjoy the hell out of it and then upgrade myself - well who knows maybe in 3 years I'll be able to afford keeping two cars..... nah nevermind I'll either end up keeping my tC and just buying a Yamaha R6 ot getting a new car and still getting my R6 (wish I had the strength to ride the R1)



Vrrooooommm on a Yamaha!!!

I'm driving it until it dies and hopefully that won't happen for a very long time.

I’ll drive it until the inevitable repairs cost more than it’s worth. I hate making payments, so hopefully it lasts long enough for me to buy my next vehicle with cash (or at least most of it).

I'd say for about a two or three years!

My original plan was to get a 07 Tundra, But financiallyy i was not ready.
So yeah.. Also when im more stable with things in life.,But i love the tC. So many different directions you can go. Step by step, and so on!

my wife swears she's keeping this one longer then the others... and as she tweaks it here and there, and has a project list to add on.... she just may do it. As I only get "custody" of the car on occasions and during snow storms ( guess she prefers the FJ on those days ), I could see keeping it for a few years as well. She can keep adding "visual" items to it; I'd prefer to crank up the sc past what it has now....

Of course as soon as it's "done".... this could all change... but overall it is enjoyable enough to play with, and look at

I did that was this car.

I figure Ill keep it another 2.5 years and sell it. Should have about 100k miles and probably need something a little bigger by then.

It wont be leaving my home. When I have a good paying job I plan to get a reliable daily driver and devote more cash into it to make it a show car.
