Anyone else daily driving their Nismo?

babbagandu · 09-22-2011, 09:23 PM

I have not even had it for a week yet and I already feel guilty driving it every day. Currently it only has a tad over 4k miles on it, so I was thinking maybe I could save up and by a decent daily driver within the next year or so before the odometer gets too high.

Anybody dd'ing the nismo right now?

I dd mine, 14k miles first year. I basicly drove my z almost everyday, i didnt even bother driving my old car that i was suppose to use for dd

Haha I have a few extra cars to drive but ever since I bought my nismo I cant stop driving it. So yeah its pretty much my daily driver now

Why wouldn't you daily drive a low cost entry level sports car like a Nismo? Not like it's a Porsche GT3 or a Lamborghini ?

I'd dd a porsche gt3 (maybe not a lambo, cause I'd never get one) too! cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed, otherwise, just buy a nice picture of a car to hang on the wall in your garage, much cheaper and easier.

i used to daily drive mine when i first got it too, i now have about 40k on it

I DD mine. I have had mine since 2009 and I have 20000 miles on it. I bought the car to drive it after all. Right now I am having work done on it and I miss driving it like crazy. When I deploy over seas the thing I miss most about home is my damn Nismo lol, it might sound crazy but its true. I also have a motorcycle that I drive to work sometimes when I dont feel like dealing with traffic and the price of gas. So dont feel guilty for driving her everyday. Feel guilty when you dont drive her

I'm currently daily driving mine since my Civic was stolen.

nismonster · 09-23-2011, 01:53 PM

I dd mine...don't feel bad...I put 5k miles on it in the first 2 months I owned it...yeah trying to slow down on the mileage now, but it is very hard to resist the urge to drive it! However, being a Nissan it gives me a lot more comfort knowing it was built to be driven

torpedo2k · 09-23-2011, 01:58 PM

2-3 days a week. Its a blast. Sometimes it goes a week w/o being driven. I feel guilty and start worrying about tire flat spots. How long does that take anyway?

pokeyl · 09-23-2011, 11:14 PM

Buy it to drive it, 14K in 9 months.
