Its myy DD although the Nismo is very stiff and my comute is about 70miles daily or more. But you should see all those necks break when i stop in a red light

Just in case you're not aware, check this thread:

Nismo Z Suspension: All Nismo 370Z Owners Check Here FIRST!

IMO, the Nismo shouldn't be "stiff" at all.

ok, I drove it to work for the 1st time today!! after having it for just a little over 2 months. IF I can figure out a good parking situation then I will be taking it daily!!!

at the place i work at both my hobby cars look out of place. not that we have pickups and redneck buicks or anything, but such a boring lineup...camry's, accords, murano's, minivans, etc.... Zzzzzzzzz

like some of you guys, z is my one and only car now, too.

when it starts raining, i'm not sure what i'll do about commuting. i'd love to pick up a high mileage 07fit as a dd and drive it into the ground. maybe in the fall, i'll start looking around...

at first, my nismo was a daily driver but now it has become a garage queen

yah, i own 08 and 09 FitSport's. they are good dd's... slow as hell but works just fine for pratical stuff... the slowness keeps you on your toes if you get a MT like me. kids love them. a lot of room in the back

Like my NSX was, daily driver

I will get all-season tires for winter though.

And I wait until the roads are plowed when it snows.

optiontrader · 08-21-2010, 02:02 AM

Will be a DD - once I get the Clear Bra on!

Trips · 08-21-2010, 02:19 AM

Daily Driver only 7 miles each way.

Jamaica · 08-21-2010, 02:22 AM

Even with plowed streets, go with straight up winter tires for winter; don't compromise on that stuff.
