DD, driving it makes me smile.... I prefer to smile every day I've got a megacab when i need it but you'd be surprised what i can stuff in the Z.

The Z replaced my big dog bulldog, both fun, one has 4 wheels, some skins around me and airbags. I don't feel pressured to wear a helmet and "she" (whoever she happens to be) still looks hot dismounting and her hair did not get messed up.... at least not from the wind....

so it's perspective, it might as well be station wagon regarding utility compared to the Bulldog.

How many gallons of windshield washer fluid does that equate to?

Kind of wish that this poll had divided 'Daily Driver' and 'Weekend Car' by Coupe and Roadster. My guess is that an even higher percentage of Coupes are Daily Drivers, and that a higher percentage of Weekend Cars are Roadsters.

Still trolling I see? Your actually already ignored but only reason I saw it was cause I was on my laptop at work and not logged in.


Honestly one of the big reasons my commute is livable is due to the fact I am driving my 370z. Makes it a lot more tolerable.

Not trolling, just goofing. BTW: I fixed your post for you. And you are correct, the 370 lessens the pain of commuting.
