LakeShow · 02-14-2012, 12:59 AM

DD for the most part. NY winters are so shady.

DD for now. Soon I need to find another DD..gas saver and something 4 door.

Mine gets driven from the end of March to late November, But not in the rain so I would say Garaged and Weekend plus Track

All of the above.

Drive the Z every day or you will die sad and cold.

I drive my Z when the weather permits. It has only been out 1 day in the last 3 months.

BigT · 02-14-2012, 08:48 AM

It doesn't get driven to work/gym/errands and absolutely not in snow or bad weather in general. However, if the weather is nice, I will take it out any time.

RRonin · 02-14-2012, 09:10 AM

Definitely a DD, my commute is roughly 90 miles round trip + whatever fun I can throw in.

DD all year round.

My Weekend warrior !!! Have my lifted F-250 as my DD !!

TheGreatOne · 02-14-2012, 10:07 AM

My DD unless its winter, then its stored

Work commute is about 8km lol, give or take if I park near work or in a residential area close to the train station.

I'll get groceries in her, go to the gym, Home Depot, everything I possibly can. She was made to be driven and seen.

With the kid now, I think my Z will get left home more often but the wife did say when we go to the burbs for family gatherings (shes Italian so this is like every weekend lol) once in a while I can just follow in my Z too...or I'll be sure to be somewhere else before hand so I have to drive over solo

whoady4shoady · 02-14-2012, 11:20 AM

20 mile round trip daily.

Daily Driver. My Z hauls groceries. And kitty litter (that actually helps in the snow...). And lumber from Home Depot.

Where I live, we get perhaps 10 days of meaningful winter weather (ice or >6" of snow) a year. My commute is only a couple of miles through city streets. So long as it's not icy and the snow isn't deeper than the front lip, I can manage, carefully.

If it's much worse than that, I just work from home. Or my wife can drop me off on her way to work. I've yet to meet a snowdrift that her Outback can't plow through or over.

Daily driver in the sun only, when I'm at home. When I'm gone, it's a garage queen. I don't trust anyone else driving it haha.
