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.

When the weather is nice in the summer. It's Z time. Bad weather and winter. It's Power Wagon time. And then there's the bike. For long distance traveling. It's the motorhome. 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.

+1 Drive the Z it is not a collectors car or a rare super car. Enjoy it and drive it like you stole it, rain or shine.

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....

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.

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.
