I drive 2000 miles a month so... yeah.

You got an air-cooled 911 and you baby the 370z? Thought air cooled P cars are going up in value?

Lug I love the Focus ST, great choice. I was actually really really close to buying a PB one earlier this summer, but ultimately I decided I wanted a coupe and not a hatch. What all have you done to it?

I would also suggest you look into a previous generation Honda Fit or Versa if you just need something for the extra space. I believe you could find a 2007 Fit or Versa for around $10k
I would be looking for a truck because I will need with towing ability. I may get a Raptor next summer anyways though, so may not end up needing a second car anyway.

I washed it just last week!






....waiting for some good turbo swap options before any upgrades. Will stay stock for about another year, see how the Focus RS looks/costs, and make a decision then. Not modding at all if I decide to trade on the Focus RS.

Is that an ST2 or what?

I daily drive a 2012 C250, and if I need to put more people in I take the 2013 Cayenne. If I'm going to somewhere dirty, I usually take the old 2004 Cayenne S. Z is for fun, and parking a car this low is usually a problem here in Taiwan.

I think I was one of the only people who actually read the first post and answered OP's question and not just listed my daily :icon17:

ST2, didn't think the bump to ST3 was worth the bucks for me. I think they sell more ST3's than any other but I'm not paying an extra >2 grand extra for fancy headlights and interior lighting. I personally prefer the leather/cloth seats to the full leathers of the ST3, anyway.

The Z is my daily.

S2000 sits in the garage.

RN SHARK 09-17-2013 02:20 PM

My daily is a '94 240SX convertible but I felt I needed another vehicle with more space too. So I got a '14 SRT Grand Cherokee. It's a great truck with seating for 5, roof racks, tow package up to 7200lbs, and is faster than the Z. It runs a 0-60 in 4.4 sec! But that hasn't replaced my 240 as my daily.

Haha I'll edit my original post so that this becomes a place to show off your second cars.

2004 Sentra SE-R Spec V.... 160,000 miles and still running sick

Do you think a 600 is harder to ride than a 650? I think I heard somewhere that the throttle is harder to control on the 600 than on the 650 and that it can get away from you easier.

Lol originally I was asking for ideas for what to get as a second car when I get my Z, but now I've just turned this into a place to post your second car. So now you guys are both right!

Depends on the bike. But I would say most 600s are tougher to ride than 650s. Most companies make their 600s their full on sport bike because the race classes are limited to 600cc. The 650 bikes are usually built as more sport tourers, so not as tough a suspension or agressive seating angle and throttle map(my 600 revs to 16k rpm). The throttle is definitely a lot more sensitive on a 600. As long as you are careful on a 600 it is fine though, just respect the bike while you are getting used to it. Not going to lie, ive def run with some 500hp(crank) cars without too much of an issue so they are def no slouch either though. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or anything, Ive been riding for years now

Z_ealot 09-17-2013 11:17 PM

my second car is my 2014 versa note, bought it for the time being till i can get my hands on another Z when im more prepared plus it serves as my fun car as it is actually pretty fun to drive, my daily is a 96 honda civic, that despite having a cracked exhaust manifold still pulls strong and doesnt give me any problems...also a fun car to drive, but unlike many civic owners i am keeping it as stock as possible

Alright then, here is my second car :)

2010 Honda Fit with some goodies installed!

As a former Xterra owner I would honestly recommend against them unless you seriously need to have all that space and towing capacity all the time.

I hated my Xterra since I never used it for more than just daily driving and honestly if the Fit was out in the US at the same time I would have just bought one back then. The Fit has more if not equal space inside and gets more than double the MPGs

You could always just rent a truck when you need to tow something and get a Fit or a Note like Mike has below

Actually, I responded to OP's original post regarding a second vehicle with more room. I got a Jeep for that exact reason. More room, more versatility. Don't hate.

Daily since July, I only put 600 miles on the 370z since then thru today. Had 1990 300zx as daily before but lack of ac and upcoming maintenance I decided to get rid of. On a side note the person I sold it too blew the engine last week. Maybe I should buy it back for $500.

yellogixxer 09-26-2013 08:31 AM

My second. Can't get by without a truck once you have one.

The daily is an Accord (unpictured) with 394k on the ticker...once I reach 400k, I will replace the original clutch!

I love the Peterbuilt emblem instead of the Ford on yours. Never seen one like that lol.

Yeah, the Ford was showing it's age, so it had to be upgraded!

Picked up a 2003 Camry this past weekend. Probably the most vanilla car I own which works out when you also have a Z in the garage. It is a v6, and contrary to the million 4cyl camry's on the road...it's actually decently quick. :D

RN SHARK 10-03-2013 04:04 PM

Wait...what? Was that a Peterbuilt emblem and a Confederate battle flag on that little F150? From Pennsylvania? Too funny.
