Yeah. It'll fit.
If I'm after more than a cart full, I'll drive the truck. Horses for courses.

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

Ive taken the roadster to costco before. Only bought a package of salmon and a 2x 2.5 gallon water. Had to open the box of water and split them up to fit in the trunk... and the package of salmon had to sit on the GF's lap..

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.

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

The Z gets DD duties from April to November, unless I need the room. Otherwise, I have a 2017 base model Legacy. It's a nice car, but absolutely lifeless to drive. Thankfully the lease is up in June.

LOL. Like I said, it's a lease.

Yep. It's the only car I own. 90k on the clock, 20k of which are mine. Had it two years now.

zero · 11-29-2019, 07:02 PM

I drive the Z once a month. My daily is Golf R stage 2.

Spartan 1771 · 11-29-2019, 08:18 PM

My Z is only a weekend car and is only driven in good weather. My daily beater is a 2012 Mazda CX-7 i-Touring. I'm the original owner and have put over 188,000 miles on it.

NecioVato · 11-29-2019, 11:57 PM

I daily the Z but I am looking to see what a 2nd car would run to have the Z be a 3x/wk driver as well as having a 2nd/daily that can be used during bad weather as well - leaning or WANTING an Golf R or a Civic Type R.

But the cost might push me towards getting a 2nd vehicle that is a SUV or maybe a Mini Cooper S for the cheap - although if it is cheap i feel that I’ll have to add $$ on top of it to keep it running etc......decisions decisions

RonRizz · 12-02-2019, 11:25 AM

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! )
