Anyone else daily driving their Nismo?

I have not even had it for a week yet and I already feel guilty driving it every day. Currently it only has a tad over 4k miles on it,

Default Anyone else daily driving their Nismo?

I have not even had it for a week yet and I already feel guilty driving it every day. Currently it only has a tad over 4k miles on it, so I was thinking maybe I could save up and by a decent daily driver within the next year or so before the odometer gets too high.

Anybody dd'ing the nismo right now?

Why wouldn't you daily drive a low cost entry level sports car like a Nismo? Not like it's a Porsche GT3 or a Lamborghini ?

I'd dd a porsche gt3 (maybe not a lambo, cause I'd never get one) too! cars are meant to be driven and enjoyed, otherwise, just buy a nice picture of a car to hang on the wall in your garage, much cheaper and easier.

I DD mine. I have had mine since 2009 and I have 20000 miles on it. I bought the car to drive it after all. Right now I am having work done on it and I miss driving it like crazy. When I deploy over seas the thing I miss most about home is my damn Nismo lol, it might sound crazy but its true. I also have a motorcycle that I drive to work sometimes when I dont feel like dealing with traffic and the price of gas. So dont feel guilty for driving her everyday. Feel guilty when you dont drive her

I dd mine...don't feel bad...I put 5k miles on it in the first 2 months I owned it...yeah trying to slow down on the mileage now, but it is very hard to resist the urge to drive it! However, being a Nissan it gives me a lot more comfort knowing it was built to be driven

2-3 days a week. Its a blast. Sometimes it goes a week w/o being driven. I feel guilty and start worrying about tire flat spots. How long does that take anyway?
