I bought mine on Halloween 2008 so that puts me at around 10 1/2 years. Picking up the car was a 500 mile drive home from Sandusky, Ohio to Appleton, Wisconsin and I just missed the first snow storm of the season. The next day we got 12+ inches of snow so I made it back just in time. Then I had to wait another 6 months until spring before I could drive it again.
Here's one of the first pictures I took after it made it home safely to my garage:
And a more recent photo after lowering springs, suspension refresh, and other chassis related work.

21 years since my first purchase. Time has flown by. Nothing as exciting as the first one though. Was glad to have met the maker at DCS 2000. Probably not done buying these cars.
