Do you daily drive your Z?

I used to DD my Z in the summer. Couple years ago I decided to do extreme modifications on my Z which should net four digit HP. Once it's up

I used to DD my Z in the summer. Couple years ago I decided to do extreme modifications on my Z which should net four digit HP. Once it's up and running, I will only drive my Z on reasonable nice days.

My year around DD is a Nismo Juke RS with a few light mods.

my Z requires too many compromises to be driven in winter and I don't think I would be enjoying it: much simpler just to park it. I can still get some kicks with my AWD Q50S if I want a little rush

I can't say that i really blame you guys for not driving it - mainly those who live further north than i do.

I dont have to go very far on a daily basis, and it hardly ever snows.

I've only had the car for a bit over a week now and have driven it nearly every day and will continue to drive it regularly. Being retired I don't have to go to work but I do get out and do things pretty much daily. I bought it to drive and living in Florida I can do it all year round.

So am I. But I work part time to pay for my hobbies. Plus it gets me out of the house.

I tell most of my passengers to stick their butt where they want it to go and then fall into it and remember to duck their head.

Seems like a long time to let a car sit between drives!
