rules:

- only the time you owned for applies (not your parents etc).
- no non-running project cars that have been in your barn since 1970
- you do not have to still own the car as of today

so old timers, who gets the honor, what kind of car, why so long?

feel free to nominate members if you want…

I owned my evo for just under 5 years.

I have a hard time keeping most of my cars longer than 4 years so it’s def not me! Hopefully the Cobra will be with me for a loooong time though.

One year each here, this car I have now is lasting the longest and I actually haven’t had thoughts of getting anything new yet. So I guess that’s good.

How did I know you’d be a wise ass.  
Owned for 17, off the road for 8, on for 9. Last year was the best, but this year will be better.

A guy in Machine shop at Derrick purchased a brand new chevelle…somewhere in the 69-72 range, and still has it today. Awesome right?

The longest owned car I have is my corvette which is pushing 3-4 years now. Every other car I’ve owned only lasted maybe a year at the most.
