370Z: Daily Driver or Weekend Car?

Dreezy562 · 03-19-2011, 05:53 PM

Yes

sucasa · 03-19-2011, 06:07 PM

I have 2009 Corolla for DD, also have a new Matrix for hauling stuff. Z is driven about 3x a week.. never in snow or bad weather.

Urbanracer · 03-19-2011, 07:32 PM

My Z is only driven on weekends and after work, occationally I'll take it to the office. It goes into hibernation for the winters so it never sees snow. I have a maxima and a Honda CBR that I use as daily drivers.

Daily driver.
Except for the winter hibernation period.
Also, except for going to the gym in the morning.
And, except for when I need to haul crap for the house.
Except for days I feel like driving a convertible.
Except for when I go bar-hopping in the city.
I'll probably make an exception on rainy days.
Another exception is when I have more than one other person with me, but I've found that's subject to exception when the two girls are hot.

That's alot of exceptions, lol the 2 girl thing is def a negitive of having a 2 seater. I guess the hotter one gets to sit up front, and the busted one can hold on to the rear bar in the hatch, lol

Every single day that I can, except in snow.I casn't wait to get into it and try to find the longest way to get there.

Ditto. I live in SoCal, so I don't need a car for "bad weather". I'm just really careful when it rains, which isn't often.

I'm a single guy and have no need for a lot of room, so I can enjoy my 370 every day.

My Z is my daily driver, but been trying to avoid rain for now. Getting 22-23mpg mix of city/hwy. A Toyota Tacoma is now my secondary.

Mine is a weekend/errand car. I have a company car for work that the company gave me, along with a gas card, so it isn't really a question what I'm going to use during the week. Plus, the work car has all the literature I need for sales calls in it.

I find the earlier posts in this thread about driving in DC funny. I live in DC so naturally that's where I do most of my driving. There are places I know I wouldn't take it, but most places are fine. Hell, I took the thing to Chipotle and parallel parked it yesterday. Just choose your parking spots wisely.

I was just wondering what the community used their Z's for.

moto_italia · 02-13-2012, 03:37 PM

Daily driver - about a 30 mile round trip commute to work.

Masa · 02-13-2012, 03:41 PM

Daily driver three out of four seasons unless it is raining. Sits in the winter for the most part but will take it out for an hour drive every two weeks if weather is permitting.

370ZilverZ · 02-13-2012, 03:41 PM

If I have a lot of mods to do, it's garaged or a weekend car. It's not my only vehicle, so I would say it's a fair weather daily driver. Basically a weekend car, but being retired, my weekends are long.

Daily driver.

Living in western WA, there are only about 3 days a year that I would consider being not drivable in this car, but I could get a set of snow tires/wheels if I really needed to.
