I believe it will. That's the definition of a classic, man. It will look current at any time. Again, bringing up the first gen camaros, they look as good today as they did in 67 as long as they have fresh chrome and paint. Very few cars can do that.

i wanna keep mine forever. if i ever do upgrade i can still keep this as my daily. but until then i will just keep doing minor mods and what not every once in a while to keep me excited about the car still. i would love to go turbo or SC in the future but every time i plan it out it just seems like 10-15 grand isnt worth it lol.

For me the sc/turbo route isn't worth it with this car. I'd much rather put that $15k+ into the lightly used z06 I'm Savin for. That'll be the car I'll supercharge. Not my G

I am keeping mine forever.... I cant believe too that my car is 9 years old... almost 100K and it is a daily driver for me.

Continued proper maintenance on both the engine and paint and the car still looks immaculate. People are surprised that it is an old car.

Only minor problem that I have... common problem is oil leaking thru my sparkplug bank 6... then I changed my VTC solenoid recently....other than that no problems at all....

Paint --- I need my wing t be re cleared...

thats it... and I hope nothing serious in the near future.....

Forever is a tough question! I need another car/truck because my shooting range is dirt/gravel and members driving back and forth raise dust. I can't bring myself to driveSLICK thru that with all the hours I've spent modding, washing and waxing her. I've considered selling her but nothing else would look this cool in my garage or be this much fun to drive. Looks like we're going to be a 3 car family...Gary

Glad you decided to keep slick Gary....it's a work of art. Although I've been waiting to see a part out and those Winnings to go up for sale. I've been lurking for some quality immaculate wheels.

I have a truck when I need to go off the pavement although I baby it like my G. 3 car family for us too.

Forever is a long time......interested to see the q60 redesign. I had a q50 for a loaner yesterday, love the seats and it had quite a bit of power...just didn't feel as connected to the road.

Keeping mine until she dies and then maybe revived after. No OC problems in the motor, that I've found, and just the usual window motor and seat tear issues thus far. Definitely staying my DD until she's paid off and then I can get an AWD G Coupe Once I have another DD, she will become my weekend, modded, black princess. These cars are too fun to let go, IMO. I'm not a huge BMW fan so the only other competition right now would be an Audi...tough call there. It's been over a year and I've already put in too much time to ever see her go.
Ultimately, to each their own. To me, I have no reason NOT to keep her.

If the time comes to sell SLICK she won't get parted out but sold as is! Want a set of SF Winnings, watch our Marketplace under Private Classified. You may need to have a wheel repair shop polish them so they'll really shine but it's worth the cost!

Forever may not last for me as a new family is coming my way in the future.
