My '06 is my second vehicle ever, preceeded by a 93 chevy pickup with 33's roll bars and a grille guard. Loved that pickup and hated to see it go, but didn't love the gas mileage.
Got my monte when I was 17, *edit, forgot, it had 7 miles on it when i got it, and 35k now...probably not a lot of people that can say that, and I do plan to keep it forever. In the near future I have a few minor mods I would like to do, and plan on getting a new silverado once I graduate so I can park the monte in the winters at least.
I have toyed with the idea of either doing headers and a tune later once I get past the 60k or 10 year extended warranty. Or the possibility of converting it to a rwd car, don't think this has ever been done to a 7th gen. This one will definitely be my baby forever, although I do have aspirations of getting a 1950 chevy pickup, and a 1970 chevelle ss, along with a mini cooper, random I know, loved these things since the italian job, fun little cars to drive lol.

I will keep my Monte forever unless I cannot financially afford it. I put too much work, sweat, blood, and tears to get low-balled on a trade-in... When Im stressing I go sit in my Monte and lay the seat back and just sit until I fall asleep. I dont know how it works but it does! I bought a 1990 F250 for $900 a couple of months ago so I could park the Monte but for some odd reason the truck ended up getting parked and I drive the Monte lol. My truck has never left our neighborhood and my neighbors absolutely hate it! So far only gasket and electrical problems. (knocks on wood) I currently have 156k miles and its running like it has 15.6 miles

I plan on keeping my car until it dies completely.. since it only has 45,000 miles on it I'm sure I'll have it for awhile
