Only car or second car?

Investr · 01-09-2012, 01:57 AM

I'm curious as to who the average Z owner is? We had a poll inquiring about the age base of Z owners. Now I am curious if most 370 or 350Z owners drive the Z as their only car or if the Z is a weekend/fun/extra car. Let's see!

Being I started it, my 370 roadster is my second car. I also have a Nissan Armada, black as well and also a 2010. This is my 3rd Z, but my first in 15 years. I love driving this car sooooooo much, as I know you all do as well!

How about a catagory for daily commuter car & have other cars for weekend fun? IMO more horsepower the better and to get 500+HP in Z cost too much. However, the Z makes a great commute car if you have winding roads on your commute route.

BTW- I'm on my seventh Z car... I love these cars ... Enjoy the ride !!!

If I was stuck with one car and carrying or towing wasn't an issue ... It would have to be the Z for sure.

My Z is a daily driver in fair weather and a weekend fun car, I try to make it to a handful of track days/auto-x days a year, mostly in the garage this time of year though.

Fun only.

Cristobal09 · 01-09-2012, 08:50 AM

08 Honda Pilot as the "daily", z as the nice day car.

But when you work from home 24/7, theres no such thing really as a "daily driver".

It's my fun car. However I try to drive it as much as possible from the end of April to the end of October. Gotta make up for the winter storage separation, it's hard on both of us.

Aizen Sosuke · 01-09-2012, 09:20 AM

I only need the Z

During the warmer months I try to make it my daily driver unless it rains. In the colder months it becomes a weekend car I take out once every 2 weeks or so.

It's my daily driver when the weather is nice or I don't have to transport anything. I drive a yacht(Denali XL)

or my girl's jetta when i have to.

The Z is my daily driver, I try to drive it as much as I can

I avoid car pooling as much as possible so I can drive my car lol.

Now with the newborn however, I'm sure I'll be making more seat time in the wifes 328xdrive now that we're 3.

However... the wife said sometimes when we are going places, we can just take both cars...rediculous in a way...but she understands my love for this car lol

TerribleONE · 01-09-2012, 10:12 AM

For fun!!! I do drive it to work sometimes though..

nmjaxx9 · 01-09-2012, 12:46 PM

Yup, this is my DD during the Spring/Summer months, but now its a once in a while.

interesting break down of premium members and those who dd their z, not what I would have initially expected but makes sense I guess.

03 Toyota Tacoma as my DD, and Z as my fair weather/weekend car
