Nissan 370Z Forum  

Do you have a 2nd car?

Z is DD for warm weather and sunny days. Altima comes out when it rains or snows or when its too cold for the tires to get any grip.

Same here only replace Altima with Maxima, and I still drive my Z on rainy days. The Maxima is more of a beater though, it's a 97. I've got some blizzaks on it and pretty much just drive it in the winter.

I have a 99 Crapalier Z24 that is dying. Probably going to buy a new VW Golf TDI.

I have an 04 R6. Definitely thinking about a second car, but right now the Z is great as a DD.

wow, nice line up!

i use to have 4 cars too but with kids and stuff i couldn't use the cars enough individually so decided to run 3 cars. for example my 8yr old G just turned 29K miles this week. my 2.5yr old 370Z has 8K miles. hardly enough deserved motoring time.

Thanks we have some of the same issues. I had thought about selling the Prelude to add something else but it has been a great car. We need to add a truck of some type. Its for those what if's around the house etc. I have been looking but the weather here in KC/KS has been so mild this year I have held back. I will need to do something soon. Maybe a clean looking beater type truck. If their is such a thing?

Yes. Have a couple of people at work buy just such a thing. I work in Olathe. One of them has a F150 with 120,000 which looks like it has 20,000 miles and runs like it also.

Yeah, but one thing to keep in mind is the underside of anything driving during the winter around here. This area is so bad about what they treat our roads with during the winter. A clean looking 120,000 mile plus year/ model used driver that has not had a treatment of undercoating etc. can easily be a clean looking rust bucket. I have been online of and on looking in areas of Texas & Oklahoma for a clean driver.

yah, i could really use a wagon or something sometimes. i go to my local music store to buy something for my instrument, i cant even carry it home in my G. or to homedepot... no go. can't even buy window blinds without measuring if i have enough space. gets old real quick.

so recently i just wait till the weekend and use my Fit. my wife uses the Fit during the week and she hardly uses on the weekends so it works out for us.
