Have had my Mustang since April, '97…so I’m on 12 years now, yikes!!!

I plan on keeping that car forever. That’s my “I bought it at 16 with my own money” car…really don’t want to be like all the old timers who gripe about that one car they had in their youth…

Owned my first car, '91 Integra for 4 years. Probably won’t own another car that long for a while with all the cars I’d like to eventually own at one point or another.

I got the cavy in Feb of 1992 (my first car at 16). I still have it. Up to a couple years ago it was basically functional all the time. So thats 17 years.
