Who here parks their nismo outside?

haha. i don't think it would function well as a DD because it requires an oil change every 3k miles. if he drives 100 miles a day, he would need to change oil every month . also the tires would need to be replaced very often at that rate. I got a DD car that most people here don't care for but the manufacturer says it doesn't need an oil change until 10k miles, and the tires that it uses don't wear out as fast as the ones on the 370z nismo.

Im not your typical commuter. My last commuter car was a 2006 Mazdaspeed 6 GT with RE11 tires. Just sold it with nearly 100,000 miles. I usually get about 15K out of soft street tires. Usually go through two sets a year. Oil changes about once every two months.

But I do kid about the Porsche getting better treatment. I dont have a garage. Porsche sits on a trailer with a cover over it. For Nismo I will just use lots of wax and keep the car clean.

in late august i got a 2010 vw new beetle for daily commute and a month later my boss told me in 2011 the office would be relocated to a site that was 30 miles away. the total one-way driving distance from home to work would be about 50 miles luckily, the management decided to provide transportation for everybody from the old office to the new office: i would drive to the old office, park my car there, and then take the bus to the new office. had they not provided transportation, i would have been in the same situation that you are in.
