Only car or second car?
 
I'm curious as to who the average Z owner is? We had a poll inquiring about the age base of Z owners. Now I am curious if most 370 or 350Z owners drive the Z as their only car or if the Z is a weekend/fun/extra car. Let's see!

Investr 01-09-2012 01:05 AM

Being I started it, my 370 roadster is my second car. I also have a Nissan Armada, black as well and also a 2010. This is my 3rd Z, but my first in 15 years. I love driving this car sooooooo much, as I know you all do as well!

Mecinoid 01-09-2012 02:07 AM

How about a catagory for daily commuter car & have other cars for weekend fun? IMO more horsepower the better and to get 500+HP in Z cost too much. However, the Z makes a great commute car if you have winding roads on your commute route. :ughdance:

BTW- I'm on my seventh Z car... I love these cars ... Enjoy the ride !!!

If I was stuck with one car and carrying or towing wasn't an issue ... It would have to be the Z for sure.

My Z is a daily driver in fair weather and a weekend fun car, I try to make it to a handful of track days/auto-x days a year, mostly in the garage this time of year though.

kenchan 01-09-2012 07:22 AM

Fun only.:p

Cristobal09 01-09-2012 07:50 AM

08 Honda Pilot as the "daily", z as the nice day car.

But when you work from home 24/7, theres no such thing really as a "daily driver".

GaleForce 01-09-2012 07:58 AM

It's my fun car. However I try to drive it as much as possible from the end of April to the end of October. Gotta make up for the winter storage separation, it's hard on both of us. :p

Aizen Sosuke 01-09-2012 08:20 AM

I only need the Z

Masa 01-09-2012 08:32 AM

During the warmer months I try to make it my daily driver unless it rains. In the colder months it becomes a weekend car I take out once every 2 weeks or so.

ben1620 01-09-2012 08:49 AM

It's my daily driver when the weather is nice or I don't have to transport anything. I drive a yacht(Denali XL) :icon14: or my girl's jetta when i have to.

TheGreatOne 01-09-2012 09:07 AM

The Z is my daily driver, I try to drive it as much as I can

I avoid car pooling as much as possible so I can drive my car lol.

Now with the newborn however, I'm sure I'll be making more seat time in the wifes 328xdrive now that we're 3.

However... the wife said sometimes when we are going places, we can just take both cars...rediculous in a way...but she understands my love for this car lol

TerribleONE 01-09-2012 09:12 AM

For fun!!! I do drive it to work sometimes though..

nmjaxx9 01-09-2012 11:46 AM

Yup, this is my DD during the Spring/Summer months, but now its a once in a while. :(

4r3s 01-09-2012 12:53 PM

interesting break down of premium members and those who dd their z, not what I would have initially expected but makes sense I guess.

MJB 01-09-2012 12:56 PM

03 Toyota Tacoma as my DD, and Z as my fair weather/weekend car:tup:

Z_Girl 01-09-2012 01:12 PM

Only car for now, eventually would like to make it my fun :driving: car

xdeslitx 01-09-2012 01:20 PM

only car but want a gtr too

gbrettin 01-09-2012 02:08 PM

DD year around.

brucelidat 01-09-2012 02:14 PM

DD year round also. If I need a second practical car down the line, might just get a Focus or mazda3, inexpensive, decent driving and hatch practicality. If i had/could aford a second practical car, maybe I could SC my z....

alcheng 01-09-2012 02:26 PM

The Z is my Daily Fun Car for the Summer.

:tup:

Rusty 01-09-2012 06:15 PM

The Z is my weekend end car. For work, I got a '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee. For 4wheeling, I got '08 Power Wagon that also pulls my camper. Plus 2 bikes. One of them, I'm putting a super charger on it.

Srenity 01-09-2012 06:18 PM

For me the Z is the only car I "Own" but I have a company truck that I drive daily. I pretty much just drive the Z for fun. Before buying the Z a few months back I had not owned my own vehicle in about 5 years. The last car I had was my S15 that I sold when I moved from NM to CA......boo CA laws.

gr8-wrx 01-09-2012 06:58 PM

Our ZR is our 3rd/weekend/fun car.

Mike 01-09-2012 07:00 PM

It actually saddens me that I only drive the Z 5-6 weekends per year at the track, :(

I just put street pads and tires back on for the winter so I can drive it on the street, but its too low to clear the speed bumps in the parking lot at the airline job, and with the powdercoating business taking up all of my non-flying time, I don't really drive anywhere else, other than the UPS store to ship stuff, and thats in the SUV.

Nikkolai 01-09-2012 09:28 PM

00 Frontier for daily and Z for my weekend fun car.

rebe945 01-09-2012 09:44 PM

Fun only
 
Have a daily driver. My Z looks perfect. ;)

mantella87 01-10-2012 01:27 AM

Z is the DD for now. Where I live, the weather is perfect for it. If I still lived on the east coast it would be a different story.

Boost_lee 01-10-2012 01:52 AM

Z is my weekend / nice car

Kirkster 01-10-2012 09:17 AM

I also have a truck but I just use that for dump runs and hauling dirt bikes..

Bodytechz 01-10-2012 09:38 AM

My Z is for sunny day driving only. So far it hasn't seen a rain drop. I got it as a retirement gift to myself. My DD is a 2008 Toyota Tundra, talk about a HUGE difference in vehicles. I plan on having my Z forever and passing it on to my son someday.

370ZilverZ 01-10-2012 09:49 AM

The Z is my driver when I'm just driving from place to place. If I have to haul people and stuff, then the Avalanche has to get out.

TypeOne 01-10-2012 09:50 AM

I have 2 cars and I find myself driving the Z more.

What do I pick!? lol

sixpax 01-10-2012 09:52 AM

Drive the 370Z maybe 3 or 4 times a month ... have an Altima I beat up to get to and fro from work and if the weather is shitty on the weekends.

Vertigo 01-10-2012 10:09 AM

The Z is my DD and I am not looking forward to snow whatsoever. I've had an S2K previously and that was horrible in winter conditions. I might look into a used WRX soon for the offseason and garage the Z.

The Dimer 01-10-2012 10:23 AM

The Z was my only car until I put 15,000 miles on it in 5 months. Now I drive a POS Honda to work everyday and let me tell you, nothing has ever made me miss my Z so much. :rofl2:

Depends on the other car.

Baer383 01-10-2012 11:24 AM

Mine is weekend only.
I would drive it more if I would stop working on it.:ugh2:

hector20 01-10-2012 11:58 AM

Z is my DD, looking to buy a POS for DD, don't like to park my car in mall parking lost or even at work, too many nissan haters down here in Orlando

Gungrave 01-10-2012 12:04 PM

The Z is more of my DD due to gas mileage lol. But I have a Titan and a Busa as well :)
