Need a daily driver car soon!

I'd just let the Z rack up the miles. What's the point otherwise? I bought my car to drive , not to sit... Anyhow, I'd recommend an old compact pickup

Anyhow, I'd recommend an old compact pickup - versatility is unparalleled.

I've had my Z just over 10 months now and I rolled 17K this morning. Still planning on driving to Nashville this month too!

I'm almost at 19K and I've had my car 11 months as of today. I'd prefer to have an inexpensive AWD vehicle as my DD and to be able to take it to the mountains in the winter. I'm not really finding any affordable options.

For me is not the fact of racking up miles, is the dirtbags in parking lots like Lowe's, Walmart, etc. that can ding or scratch your car.

Plus for me is the hassle of backing up the old lady SUV to get my car out and viceversa.

That is why a have a small pick up.
