I may have checked the wrong box, but... its 30 years that I have had A Charger, but it hasn't the same one for the whole time.  So I guess it depends on how you interpret the question because if you just mean the longest stretch with a single one, then the longest I have had the same one in my garage was 16 years.

1974 Charger coupe 8/1979-5/1981

1973 Charger SE  5/1981-11/1981

11/1981-7/1985 NO Chargers

1966 Charger 7/1985-8/1991

8/1991-3/1992 NO Chargers

1972 Charger SE 3/1992-7/2003

1973 Charger SE 6/1999-10/2012

1968 Charger 4/2012-Current

So current run of just owning any Charger is 23 years in a row.

There's a 30 year stretch mixed in where there was only a 7 month absence of not owning a Charger.

From owning my first 1974 Charger in 1979 to my current 1968 Charger is a total of 4 years 3 months of being Chargerless in almost a 36 year run.

Bought my '71 29 years ago this spring after giving up on finding a decent '68 or '69 Road Runner. Now, I'm glad I didn't find that Road Runner.

70 sublime

Wow 63% have had the same car for 20 years or more

In the last 30 years I have had a dozen different Chargers (from a 68 to a 73)

I do not think I have owned any one of them for 5 years

Longest one I ever owned was a black and white 73 Road Runner for about 10 years
Used to take the kids out for Hallowen in it and did not find out till much later that my oldest daughter would love to have that car back for herself (she is 25 now)

My 67 about 7 years. If i knew where it was I would have had my 72 over 30 years. It was stolen years ago.
