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.

We finally got some snow last night. I really should get a set of all seasons or winter tires... These cheap *** achiles i got on the back surprisingly did okay though.

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!!

Rusty,

I've never seen a motor home with a roof line like that!!!!

Does it even clear an underpass?

My clearance is 12' 8". If it says anything below 13ft. I normally don't try it.

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 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. Solid car, I feel bad for putting it second... but that 370z though!

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.
