As far as im concerned im never gonna sell the car, if anything it will be a project car next year. Ive had it since Feb. 99 i even still have the original ad for it in autotrader! This sounds odd, but id like to completely restore it so everything looks nice and clean. Ill keep it more for sentimental value and drive it whenever i get the urge to. I plan to paint it silver with some black accents here and there, like a 2 tone color effect.

This is my first car, I highly doubt I'll ever be getting rid of my car. When I have my car collection, this DX is going to have it's own air conditioned garage in about 40 years.

I plan to keep mine as long as possible especially since im going through the trouble to re-undercoat the bottom and basically in the end it will be a complete restoration. Im definately taking out a nice insurance policy to cover atleast all the parts in the car.

I like that responce.
I'll keep it until I destroy it. Plan on getting an S2000 within a year, and make the accord more of a track car.

Forever or till its a right off. No point in ever trying to sell it just to get alittle of what I got in it back.

considering this car is so easy to work on, i'll probley never get rid of it. i really cant see myself mainly driving another car. and if the car dies, like is smushed up in an accident or something non-repairable, i'll have it cremated. lol. or turn it into a bed or something ridculous. nah, i dont think i'll be gettin rid of it. with 112000 miles, its not even broken in yet, so it's gonna be a while before it dies.

Forever!! I almost get teary when I think of getting rid of my car or sending it to the junkyard.... too attached to it. Had it since May 30, 1997 (I was 15), learned to drive manual in it, and gone everywhere in it! It's tackled every single roadtrip I've thrown at it, and taken me through 14 states so far and never once let me down. At 363k miles she shows absolutely no signs of slowing down anytime soon, so I might as well keep going! :rockon:

until it dies.., then build a new engine and have fun again! i'd prolly only get rid of it if i truly couldn't afford it anymore, but until im' rich and can buy a nice expensive car and put money into that.., i'll prolly have one for a long time to come.

i'll have mine til i can get a newer car. don't get mad, i love my car, it's just that it is becoming a bigger expense now. if i could i would hook it up nicely and revitalize it. plus i always have the memories.
