Default How long do you plan on owning your current truck?

I have owned a number of vehicles that I was more or less in love with. Each of these cars or trucks hold a special place in my heart, but aren't necessarily still parked in my driveway. How many of you plan on keeping your truck forever? How many of you already have plans to trade-in or sell your current truck when the next generation is available? What cars or trucks do you regret selling? Let's see them and hear your thoughts and stories!

I have no plans of selling this truck as I have been putting together a turbo build for it. if I were to sell it, now would be the time, if someone offered to buy it, but once i get the turbo, transmission, and diff in it, it will be going no where! haha.

I'm never selling my truck. Too much sentimental value. But I will but a k2xx once I get a steady job as a mechanic. And I wish I didn't have to sell my Z28, but I didn't want it to sit at home...

I have owned

96 Chevy-Regret selling it every day, I miss that truck...
2005 King Cab Frontier- Regret wrecking it
2002 Passat- Regret buying it
2005 Crew Cab Frontier- Regret wrecking it
1985 RCSB Toyota Pickup- Regret selling it
2011 Hyundai Elantra- Ahh no cares
1994 Land Cruiser- Regret selling it
2013 Hyundai Santa Fe- Been the best car I have owned, hads down a keeper, wife has laid claim to it. 30k miles in a year, going to keep it 5-6 years or 150K miles.
2014 Ram- 3 days and counting, need to keep it 6-7 years or 150k miles to make it worth while...

I have found that I loose my patients with vehicle once they get to a certain age. I do not see a forever vehicle in my future other than a R2 Lark...

I don't really have any sentimental attachment to my truck, as its just the sum of its parts... But few could afford the collective price of those parts in a sale...so I guess I'll be hanging on to it for a while
