well I voted no, but that's a hard one, since I do take it out and drive on special days. But I do track it and enjoy driving it hard. my current daily is a mini cooper convertible, but looking at a C6 as a daily. The Z will always be my first choice, looking at tracking it more next year....

My Daily drive,
http://www.the370z.com/members/2011-...ily-driver.jpg

Evolve GTX 2x2HP motors, up to 25mph and 30mi range. I only take it up to 12-14mph.

Yes! Driving had become so joyless, and I love to drive. That is why I bought the Z. Now I look for reasons to drive. The car is a joy to drive, because I am actually involved in making it go, not just point and shoot.

That’s a great analogy! Couldn’t agree more!

Heck I hardly drive it at all let alone daily. Usually on a bike for the daily duty. But when I do drive it, it's a fun purposeful drive, no grocery getting.:cool:

It's fun as a grocery getter, too. People are looking at you like, "He's gonna put all of THAT...in THERE!"
Yeah. It'll fit.
If I'm after more than a cart full, I'll drive the truck. Horses for courses.

I need 800hp to get my groceries. I don't care if folks think it is stupid. I am all about having fun.

This is exactly why I dumped my Maxima and got a 370z back in 2014. My hr commute was killing me. Now it is Yippie, time to go home/work.

Voted Yes, but should have been Yes But ...

I DD my Z, but I drive much less than I used to as I'm retired.

My wife and I decide which vehicle to take on out of town trips based primarily upon two factors: how much crap do we have to tote and whether there will be any fun roads involved.

For local travel together, she usually insists that we take the Z unless we need more room (yep, more crap involved) or we will be driving on roads with known huge potholes.

DD mine. It's pretty rare that I have to take the truck, only when the temp really drops low. I didn't buy it to look at it, or have it take up space in the garage, I bought it to enjoy the hell out of it. Spooler gets it.

I can get 2 full golf bags, a cooler and shoes in mine. People are always amazed when I pull up.

axmea? 11-27-2019 06:05 PM

A G37 if not the Z. I prefer the Zs seats.

My wife daily drives ours. I get to drive it around on weekends and holidays. Got some rural roads in front of me tomorrow, can't wait to get into the throttle a bit.

I don't DD, but I always find an excuse to drive a few (tens) kms after work :)
My daily has been a 2001 Toyota Celica for more than 10 years now. Its engine is slowly dying, however, so I am afraid we will be parting ways soon :(
