        seems a maximum of every six months for me...I get bored to easily, and my lifestyle is always changing. i need a V8 sedan today, next week I'll need a 4x4 ute, the week after that something small and easy to park....

        projects hang around a lot longer, mainly because I get bored and they sit around, because I never get around to finishing anyth

              I've been changing cars every 6months since I've had my licence. Its only because my dad is a automobile consultant, so he knows exactly when to buy and when to sell. My current car will either get done up and kept for 2 years, or sold for a sports car early this year...so whatever happens, im happy.

                      Had my pintara for the last 3 years, often think why i bother and contemplate buying a `94-`97 model 180SX. Reality steps back into the picture, and then it is back to the dilemna of whether to stay NA on the motor or go custom turbo.
                      Currently my only mods i'd have to change is the exhaust for the turbo setup. The next round of mods will be good for both (cam and heads).

                      Been considering lately about buying a TA22 or Datto 1600 and doing something real special with either car (TA22: 3SGTE or 1UZFE; 1600: FJ/SR20DET or VH41/45DE :D )

                          As for the original question I seem to change my cars every 1 - 2 years.
                          I tend to side with HSV Senator but then i looking to sell the fat ute and get back into a turbo, i reckon i maybe had five or six in last three years: 'JNR79'
                          SS ute, 2002- current ride
                          Clubsport R8,2001
                          Intergra Type R,2000 - nothing quite handles as good as this package..
                          Lancer GSR
                          S4 Rx7.
                          with a couple of trade-ins in between, like a calias, s2 Rx7, 626.
                          Most carried the trademark personal plate, and i hear all when they say" IT COSTS TOO MUCH MONEY"
