As the Captain of the U.S. Enterprise (Scott Bacula) would say: "I wouldn't have it any other way!" Enjoy your beaZt, man!

my 2010 z is in the garage right now and i drove a 2001 mercedes to work. like i wrote in another thread, i don't drive the z on rainy days.


Good call, there have been reports of melting Zs in the rain. The paint just washes off and the windshield dissolves away.

I DD mine and haven't had a problem - just make sure you have some touch-up paint on hand. And if you get one in black, then you might want to have a therapist on hand as well.

So what did you use and how does it do when you use the touch up? I have a couple of small chips Id like to fix. Do the touch up kits come with a clear coat too?

californians can't drive in the rain. i checked the traffic report and whenever it rained, there would be tons of accidents. same thing today, it never changes.

I just dont see how people can buy this car and make it a garage queen, this car was meant to be driven, period. If you want a garage queen, buy a Z4 or an M.

I would drive the **** out of them too. Hell if I can afford to buy it, Im driving it, unless its a classic.

I can't imagine driving the Z everyday. It's not much fun driving locally imo. I probably feel that way because it's not my daily driver. I mostly drive on the hwy so I have a blast in the Z. Friday was the 1st time I've driven the Z in a month. The weather in NY has been in the mid to upper 50's the last few days, so it was time to pull it out again. I only find the Z fun when it's being driven aggressively.

vipor 03-08-2010 01:19 PM

A MONTH?!?!?!?! :eek:

EDIT: oh, new york.

Red370 03-08-2010 01:28 PM

I dont know how some of you guys do it, seeing the Z sitting here and not having the urge to go out and light up the tires, if you spend 30k for something, you better get your a$$ out on the street and put that money to use!

small cities have some open space to play with and have some fun, so every day is fun for me.

Viera 03-08-2010 06:48 PM

Wish I had a beater so I wouldn't put so many miles on it, but other than that, I drive the damn thing every single day. Love it. :)

Hi-Step'n370Z 03-08-2010 06:56 PM

370Z for daily commute, good idea?
 
I wouldn't know. All I do is go out in the garage and sit in it!

"@%#$&*, @#%^!^&, &*^#@*, WINTER!" LOL

stupid is too harsh. Let's just say there are a lot of bad drivers here :)

Just a little rain and this is what I saw on the traffic site:

:iagree:

Hard to walk past the Z and get into my Wrangler

frost 03-08-2010 08:09 PM

25 each way, great commuter.
