DD? Not so much for me. Its feels more like a conversation piece.

I had da same problem I took a trip to Miami and back to Orlando in 2 1/2hrs and started hearing da the noise from the back... At 1st the dealer gave me a new transmition this was when I had 9k miles... now I have 11k when I got it back from the dealer I heard it again after 2weeks they found the problem it was my ""differential"" now it's all good...

Mine is a great DD. I don't feel bad about it at all.

Changed the fluids over the weekend. Everything seems fine. Shifting is less notchy no whining noise from the rear. I noticed my car likes its oil checked between oil changes. Im usually a 1/4 qt low. There's no sign of leakage or anything. Anyone else adding oil?
Drove to ny w the Z and Dd here..is a nightmare. I DONT understand how anyone can drive anything nice without being paranoid. I went to parallel park and almost got the front end clipped by a woman who decided to pass. Good thing I stopped. Now she's looking at me like I have the problem.wtf..(That's just 1time I avoided getting hit ) Every single street has uneven pavement and the majority of the drivers are butt sniffers. 370z vs city streets equals fail.

I just picked up a Nissan frontier. I hate the roads here as well and very steep inclines. Now I can keep z nice and clean again and take it out when I want to.

To and from work 5 days a week or more. Love to baby it but it's meant to be driven.

Nismo63 · 10-06-2011, 03:27 PM

I drive mine every day until I save up and get a beater!

Nikkolai · 10-06-2011, 05:45 PM

I understand the car is meant to be driven but my definition of "driven" seems to be different from others. "Driven" and commute, to me, are different things.

_ace_ · 01-02-2012, 07:09 PM

I use it for the commute except when there's snow or ice on the ground. So almost a DD.

We have an old Honda Element I drive on the days when the Z's summer tires aren't safe. It was my wife's DD forever, and it still has a purple skirted hula girl on the dash.

Will continue to DD mine until I get my FF5 Cobra done.

My Nismo is my mid-life crises toy. Something that I can play with.

For my DD. I got a Jeep GC. For pulling the camper and off-roading. I got a Dodge Power Wagon. Plus 2 motorcycles. Restoring one, and putting a supercharger on a Honda VFR.
