Short answer: Forever, with one caveat (see bottom of post).
I tend to get attached to my cars so I never sell them when they get old and unreliable. At that point, they become project cars. I still have my first car, a 1979 Celica. Its sitting in a garage waiting for me to make time for a restomod.
All of my cars (5 total) are small, RWD, and M/T, a combination getting harder to find.
The caveat mentioned above: There is one situation in which I MIGHT consider trading in my FRS which is if Toyota/Subaru were to make the 86 with a proper Toyota DOHC I4 engine. I STILL wish Toyota had equipped their version of the Twins with the JDM Altezza-spec 3SGE instead of the Subaru motor.
But, NAH. I'd probably just keep the FRS and add another car to my collection...
