In this order for me: 2012 Titan SV crew, 2017 Subie crosstrek, 2004 Audi S4 cabrio, then the Z when the mood hits, or the weather is right. (bought the cabrio for her, so I try to stay out of it! )
|
3 or 4 days a week in the summer/spring/fall. Garaged all winter.
|
I'm honestly surprised by the amount of people that DD these, and not always down south.
I just rolled over 40k on mine coming back from atlanta. That was a miserable drive btw - pouring down rain and foggy as soon as i hit the mountains for the last ~250 miles. |
Every single day. I had a '03 F150 and dreaded the drive home just about everyday. After the Z came around I completely look forward to the drive home and once you've driven these babies daily it's hard not to have the power and energy at your fingertips. I LOVE everything about the 370 and don't know if I'll ever be able to go onto something else.

I drive a 2005 Nissan Altima from November until roughly mid~April.
The winters in Chicago are pretty rough. |

Gentlemen and Ladies,
The Z is a toy used only in good weather, and winter stored. Daily driver is a 17 Subaru OutBack Premier or my Bride's 2018 Subaru Forester Limited. The 2005 GMC 3500 Dually does the RV hauling duties. I can't imagine driving a Z in winter with those wide tires, low ground clearance, and rear wheel drive!! |

When the weather is nice in the summer. It's Z time. :driving: Bad weather and winter. It's Power Wagon time. :driving: And then there's the bike. For long distance traveling. It's the motorhome. :driving: Wifey has a Jeep Grand Cherokee TrailHawk.
|
Nope. Just a fun toy. 31k miles on the garage queen. Bought a new z900 in lieu of entertaining forced induction on the 370 - it's more thrilling for sure. The daily is a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek which I absolutely love.
|
When the weather is good the Z gets driven.When it is crappy i drive my 1986 MR2.
|
Everyday both summer and winter. It ain't a Ferrari :).
|
Rusty,
I've never seen a motor home with a roof line like that!!!! Does it even clear an underpass? |

I daily drive my Z, but only in nice weather. Rain or snow it sits in the garage. My 2010 Taco takes the bad weather driving. I've got two motorcycles but haven't been on them in almost 2 years and I think the fuel injectors are clogged/dirty as they sat too long with old gas.

I love driving my Z, but...
After getting my new job, traffic is terrible, an hour of shifting between N and 1st gear because the speed is often lower than first gear. After dropping $900 on a new clutch it was time to get a daily. Picked up a 2014 Dart 2.4L Rallye :icon17: |

I hear ya! When I lived in L.A., I caught all kinds of hell for buying an Automatic Jeep Wrangler... but only from those I knew that didn't live in the LA area. Shifting from N to first, getting up to 14 mph, then hitting the brakes and shifting back to N (repeat 102 times per mile) gets sooooo old! |
I have a 2009 Touring I drive everyday. This one is my 5th and all have been daily drivers. I actually look forward to meetings because I get to drive the car. Like I told my brother when he was looking for a new car, "I don't know about you, but, I have fun going to the grocery store." I am going to change jobs and I am concerned I will have a company truck they will want me to drive. I. AM. NOT. A. TRUCK. GUY. I had a suburban I used for a field truck that was behind my car in the garage so I took it to the grocery store. I remember backing it up to the street, looking around at the truck, and saying, "this is the last time I drive this pig." And it was.

I live in Ontario, Canada. I daily drive my 2020 50th anniversary edition... from May 1st till late October... then she goes into storage... and I cry myself to sleep that night, over a dram or two of scotch...
Then my 2011 Crown Vic P71 Interceptor takes over as my "winter beater". It use to be an O.P.P highway patrol car from Orillia ON. has the push bar and everything. :rofl2: Solid car, I feel bad for putting it second... but that 370z though! :driving: |
Not a daily for me. I don't want salt touching my Z, whether it's rust proofed or not, but not everyone is as picky as me.
Winter time I rep the Toyota Corolla gang. |
I used to DD my Z in the summer. Couple years ago I decided to do extreme modifications on my Z which should net four digit HP. Once it's up and running, I will only drive my Z on reasonable nice days.
My year around DD is a Nismo Juke RS with a few light mods. |
I drive the Z every day! I bought it to enjoy.
|
only when it doesn't snow!
|
Every day. Just mounted 18 inch wheels with snow tires.
|
my Z requires too many compromises to be driven in winter and I don't think I would be enjoying it: much simpler just to park it. I can still get some kicks with my AWD Q50S if I want a little rush
|
I can't say that i really blame you guys for not driving it - mainly those who live further north than i do.
I dont have to go very far on a daily basis, and it hardly ever snows. |
I've only had the car for a bit over a week now and have driven it nearly every day and will continue to drive it regularly. Being retired I don't have to go to work but I do get out and do things pretty much daily. I bought it to drive and living in Florida I can do it all year round.

Its so low I just fall into it!:wtf2: |

Yep. Every day. 2014 Nismo bought new. 77,000 miles now.
|
I daily drive in the spring to fall here in Michigan. I have two. One manual the other auto. I drive one every other year.

That seems kind of backwards until you realize that the civic doesn't have any factory parts left on it other than the doors and some of the interior. |
Seems like a long time to let a car sit between drives!
I store my cars in a car bag with desiccants, put Stabil in the gas tank and take out the battery. |
Mine is a weekend car.....I only ever take it out when its sunny with 0 chance of rain. My daily driver duties are for the Focus RS.
|
I drive mine almost every day, in any weather.
I bought the tough Nissan instead of the vintage Porsche for a reason... |
Yes! as long as its not snowing... shes made to run!
-great Daily -great weekend track basher --horrible snow car (even with blizzaks). its like slow motion drift racing. fun but not really practical. |
