Keeping the 99 until the rear strut tower busts through. Depending on how long that takes, I'll probably salvage as many parts as I can from it (roller rockers, valvesprings, blower/pulleys, etc) before buying an 04+ and putting said parts on that car. Eventually do an S1X build (or an S2/S3 if I can find heads for cheap).

Either that or I'll just spring for an E55 AMG, such as this posting: http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/4475445550.html

not sure how long I'll hang onto the car for....most likely will keep it as a DD once I get my hands on my future ride...

E39 M5 FTW....

^^^perfect example of what I'd kill for....

I have had my 99 Grand Prix for 15 years. Bought it brand new off the dealer lot. It's not going anywhere anytime soon as it is the daily driver.

A few years ago I picked up an 02 Camaro SS. Currently sitting at 14K miles. This one is not going anywhere as well.

If I do pick up another car it would be either a Trailblazer SS, Chevy SS, G8 GXP, CTS-V

I plan on keeping this car for a long time I don't like car payments. Not sure what else I would get.

**TwoFoolsAMinute** · 06-21-2014

I keep thinking about one of those orange 2004 GTPs. But who knows. I'll probably drive my y2k until it dies. So..days, weeks, years...I really can't say.

Unless by then I have the means...

**Madness** · 06-21-2014

Wow, I have been thinking the same exact thing the last few weeks. Test drove one like this, but afterwards I like my 03GT even more!!!!!!!!!!

**theaceofspades** · 06-21-2014

I want an s2k a wrx a 3.8 genesis. But if I could have to cars. If I could only have one. I would need to have a truck and I would prefer a 5.3 silverado. Torn in between 2wd and 4wd cause I love sport trucks and lowering them but some I like lifted. So whatever lol
Edit. Most pracitcal car for me right now as a college student would be to find a wrx wagon. I need the wagon space and it would get much better mileage than my gp especially on the highway. And be more fun to drive.

**REDCRAPGP** · 06-21-2014

Probably won't sell the GP unless I get a offer a can't refuse after all it's resale value isn't that great so I rather keep it especially for all the time and effort I've putting into it.

I want a gto as my next car but finding a decent one with low mileage and not outrageous in the price is starting to get higher and higher.

G8 also a option if I decide to stick with a 4 door sedan.

Newish Maximas are also nice but I wasn't feeling the weird cvt transmission last time when I drove one.

Or might just stick with the new Impala and call it a day

**txslow6** · 06-21-2014

The 08 is paid off and a daily. It's such a reliable car I'm hard pressed to get rid of it.

I just got rid of:

to get:

Worlds better than the GTO. I took it for a test drive, hit the gas pedal and said "what GTO."

Next car will be for the wife most likely which will be something similar to:

**dmahlikGT** · 06-21-2014

I hate the fact I have a car payments for the next 2yrs so after I finally pay this off I may keep for awhile since I kicked myself for not keeping and top swapping my old gt that was paid off. Then eventually I would like a newer mustang whether its the new 5.0, v6 or the newest 2.3l turbo coming out.

**ctracer** · 06-21-2014

2.3 turbo...mustang? wut

**idrivejunk** · 06-21-2014

I think its safe to say that I will continue to buy / fix 97-03 Grand Prix coupe DDs every time my current one is destroyed. I have done that twice now and have driven them for the last five years. I love the cars and have enough engines and transmissions to probably drive them the rest of my life. But if the day comes when I have to switch off the W bodies, I'll probably be looking at Challengers first, since they seem to be plentiful. Although the only time I ever sat in one, I didn't like it.

The mighty 69 GP will remain indefinitely, until someone has the right amount of cash or a big block '68 or '70 El Camino. I feel kind of incomplete without an old truck!

**Sandman** · 06-21-2014

I'm keeping the GP, I've got it where I'm really happy with it and I've already got my next car project. The GTP has gone from DD/project to just DD with the MG as the new money pit.

After this I have no idea what I want. There is a list though.

**Russosaur** · 06-21-2014

Keeping my GP till I total it or it rusts through, at that point I will look at an 04+ or another clean GP and if that fails then maybe some truck. I like the Colorados but after my mom having one with the 5 cyl I would want one with the 5.3, ext cab preffered.

SpeedGrid... I've considered pretty much all of those cars in the recent months lol. Especially the G8, TL Type-S, Maxima. I would only add the latest generation of the Fusion. I love their stance.

And also, 2006-2008 Grand Prix with under 100k. Cause it's familiar and I like that there's still a following for them. They're also like 2-3k cheaper than their competition. Although, I doubt it would be much of an improvement. Been thinking of asking you guys for a comparison of common issues for the v6 & v8 for that year range.

But I was laid off a couple weeks ago so the 166K GP will be sticking around at least another year. The repairs/upkeep for it over the last 8 months tho is getting old. Just about equivalent to having a payment on something much newer at this point.
