Yep, this way, the Z won't need to be sold when wife & kids enter the picture

Plus, it's a sports car, not a grocery getter.

My Z was a daily driver for awhile. After a couple of snow/ice storms here in Oklahoma that put me out of commision for a few days each (I resorted to driving my wife's Miata - gak!), I relented and bought a real DD. I still break the Z out whenever possible.

For a couple months I had my Z and a Lancer Ralliart (before selling it) but couldn't bring myself to get into the Lancer at all, even for groceries, I took the Z lol.

Looking for a 2nd car (3rd for the family) now that we have the baby as I'm sure sometimes after work I'll have to grab him and can't do so in the Z...plus for a winter beater...sharing the wifes 328xi this winter has sucked lol.

So, how many of you have a cheaper 2nd car to use?

*tweet*

We use the Z almost each day. Sometimes it might not get driven. Life is way too short to not drive something you like. If you go to 1 car and its a Z, well, life will just be horrible for you

Got an '08 Power Wagon for off-roading and pulling the camper. DD is a '04 Jeep GC. And got 2 street bikes.

I almost flew out to Portland in 2010 to buy a 1995 850 T5-R... I wish I did.

08 Honda Pilot for the daily grind. But working from home 100% of the time, im not sure its even worth owning a second car..........

Zeuz · 01-25-2012, 02:39 PM

Same here only replace Altima with Maxima, and I still drive my Z on rainy days. The Maxima is more of a beater though, it's a 97. I've got some blizzaks on it and pretty much just drive it in the winter.
