Do you daily drive your Z?

gbrettin · 01-19-2020, 09:23 PM

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.

I drive the Z every day! I bought it to enjoy.

only when it doesn't snow!

Every day. Just mounted 18 inch wheels with snow tires.

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.

I am retired also. I look forward to running errands now.

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

I'm too fat to fight getting in and out of this car as a daily driver!
Its so low I just fall into it!

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.

Yep. Every day. 2014 Nismo bought new. 77,000 miles now.

I daily drive in the spring to fall here in Michigan. I have two. One manual the other auto. I drive one every other year.

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