370Z as a daily driver?

Fun car for daily driver. Blind spot can be an issue. Not a real problem in traffic with mirrors adjusted. Backing out of a parking space can take a leap of faith.

I'm daily driving my Z in Bangkok, which has one of the worst traffic congestion and road surfaces. It's quite fine here, except the blind spot can be a little bit annoying since we have a lot of motorcyclists weaving through the traffic. We also have a 997, and I think the Porsche is more comfortable as a DD though.

The Z here costs US$140K for a fully loaded JDM car. The Thai spec w/o a sport package costs $170K! There's a 328% tariff on import cars with over 220hp
