370Z: Daily Driver or Weekend Car?

axio · 02-13-2012, 04:06 PM

Weekend car, occassional track use. My car is boosted so I'd prefer to keep the miles low. But the main reason is that with only two seats, I can't take the kids to daycare...

DD

(until snow fcks it up)

Daily driver with a 15 mile round trip commute per day. I've got the Vampire Edition - Leave before dawn, park in a covered garage, and rarely leave before sunset.

SPOHN · 02-13-2012, 04:33 PM

It's when ever I want car.

About every other weekend and track car.

dAvenue · 02-13-2012, 04:59 PM

Weekend car for me.

My Jeep gets DD duty.

takjak2 · 02-13-2012, 05:33 PM

Daily, plus autox, plus track, plus roadtrip to track.

Just makes you want to drive.

alcheng · 02-13-2012, 05:34 PM

DD when weather/road condition permitted

Urbanracer · 02-13-2012, 05:35 PM

Weekend and some times after work. I have a maxima that takes care of the daily driver duties.

heebus · 02-13-2012, 05:52 PM

Nismo DD, the weather here is never bad enough to not drive.

Felix 808 · 02-14-2012, 12:22 AM

Unfortunately it has been a once or twice a month car

Just haven't had much time to spend with it other than go out in the garage & peak under the blanket every other day or so.

MUST · 02-14-2012, 12:28 AM

DD, until my s30 build is completed...

pL4tiNumfi5t · 02-14-2012, 12:35 AM

DD, put 9.5k on it my first year. Toyota Tacoma as my backup/utility.
