Around 5 years or maybe longer...
After that I'll get One of the 3 cars, Lexus LF-A my first choice, Porsche 911 Turbo or Nissan GT-R maybe in the future there will be better cars, so lets wait and see, but those are my main new cars.

BTW How do you plan on SC'ing? LMS doesn't make it anymore and I don't think you'll pay for the Tom's SC...maybe they'll have something else later on.

We've had ours for almost 2 years...will keep it for at least 5 more. The wife wants to get a bigger car when we have a kid, but at that point we will likely trade in our Mazda 3.

How well/poorly we are doing financially will also be a major factor.

I lease for 3 years, so will likely drop off the keys in another two... Then will have to decide on Lexus v BMW (I've always wanted an M3 but I like the Lexus interiors so much more).

I had an integra which I sold for the is350 and I had that car for 13 years. I still have my 91 turbo mr2 that is 17 years old as well. So I'm guessing at least 10 years, maybe 15.
