I think I'm turning into the guy with the 300k mile SC.

When I first came to Pelican, I marveled at stories of guys who owned their 911 for 30-40 years. Early owner of a longhood, SC, 3.2, etc. Kept it all these decades. Guys who logged 200k or 300k miles over the years. A select few still used their 911 as their daily commuter car. During their ownership, their 911 went from flashy new sportscar to an aging oddity to a car show classic.

I find this unfolding with my BRZ. It is now 10 years old and it is my daily commuter. It is no longer a nifty new car, but was never an exotic like Porsche and I doubt it will ever be a collectible garage queen, but I have no plans to ever get rid of it. It seems to get better with age, as newer cars get more bloated with features. 2700lbs and 200hp, "They don't make 'em like this anymore"

Sometimes, I think, will I eventually have to upgrade? Parts availability? I have no desire, and the car fits like a glove and has all I need. I think I'm turning into the guy with the 300k mile SC.

Let's hear stories of long-term ownership.....past present or future!
