stlgrym3 · 03-07-2010, 11:41 PM

how many of you here use your Zs for daily commute? any comments?

vipor · 03-07-2010, 11:48 PM

I drive mine every day and beyond having to deal with the wear and tear attributed to that level of use it's great.

Only if you like to be happy when you drive

~1 year old, +20k miles due to somewhat daily commute and really like this car.

Red370 · 03-07-2010, 11:57 PM

Every damn day buddy, every damn DAY! just under 11k, had it since last july.

nuTinmuch · 03-07-2010, 11:59 PM

Drive it daily.

Drove it through winter, too. Didn't mind at all.

I daily drive mine. To school. To home. To random road trips. The Z goes with me EVERYWHERE!

I don't drive too much though. I have a tad over 8k on the odometer and I've had it since May 2, 2009.

Mr Ed · 03-08-2010, 02:31 AM

weekend car for me.

had it since July 2009 and got 3,600kms on the clock!

Pheonix · 03-08-2010, 02:34 AM

It's a (mostly) daily driver for me. I didn't intend on it when I got her, thought I'd spend more time in the other car to preserve mileage in the Z...but somehow I have to fight to get myself back in that other car now.

schrute · 03-08-2010, 02:44 AM

11k in 7 months. I drive mine everyday and enjoy it, especially the freeway ramps.

gumpy · 03-08-2010, 03:32 AM

Daily driver for me,

on certain stretches of road the tyre road can be overwhelming...

That aside, it's awesome...

Gaiiden · 03-08-2010, 03:50 AM

if I could afford another car, and I could stand to drive that instead of my Z, it would def be a weekend car. But I love driving it too much and can't afford another car (yet). And besides if I did get a second car than that would be my weekend car, lol.

I agree with vipor - just understand & accept ahead of time the consequences of driving it daily and you'll be fine. I mean, isn't Simon Cowell's daily driver a frakking Veyron?
