Until it stops giving me excitement each time I get in to drive -- or I lose the anticipation to get in and drive it!

Mine's paid off. No desire or need to sell it.

She's a keeper.

Thinking about selling it when the 2014 FRS/BRZ comes out. Still haven't sat in one yet. All the dealers around here don't have any.

The only way I'd sell mine would be if it was the difference between owning an NSX and not...... and if that doesn't ever happen we will never be separated. I have already thought about the restoration she will need in 20 years or so. I've told my wife before that I will be buried in it... She says "I don't doubt that!"

Keeping mine at least until the new NSX Is released. Then I have a tough decision to make. I own my S free and clear, so more than likely I'll just keep it rather than creating new debt....but I'll be looking long and hard at the NSX upon release.

My name isn't Nostradamus, but I predict that I'll own my S for the rest of my life. I've always wanted a 911, but I honestly don't think I'd give up my CR for one. No car I've ever owned had such a capacity to improve my mood. No car I've ever owned infused me with such a youthful feeling (maybe that has a dark side ). It's a very special automobile. I'm still amazed that Honda extended its production to a full ten year run – amazed and grateful, that is.

Even after they pass me through the furnace, it won't be up for sale. It will be my son's – he likes it too (but I think he likes his STI more ).

I've had MY02 SBM for 10 years 5 months but I am half-heartedly thinking about a new car or even a later model S2K. Mine is showing it's age and the little gremlins are wearing on me but I still have a soft spot for it.

Until I die, 93 octane gas becomes unavailable, or it gets totaled. I regretted letting go of my first one I will not make that same mistake again.
