I enjoy DD'ing my Z.

I wish I didn't live so far, but it's meh I guess. I like showing off what I worked hard to earn.

While you can't justify it, others can. To me, the Z, is a toy. It's impractical but fun to drive. I couldn't care less if it's just sitting in the garage all week, it doesn't hurt me to have a second car. In addition, I get much more enjoyment driving the Z on weekends than I do sitting in traffic during the week.

Great sound comparison....since most people get an Eclipse as a DD....Try comparing the sound levels against a more typical DD such as an Altima or Accord.

I know he's in FL, but that doesn't mean DD'ing the Z in Chicago is a great thing.

If there's a company car, why would you DD the Z? Defeats the purpose. Could just be one, could be more. In my prior job, I was always taking out at least 2 people to lunch or dinner in my own car and expense the miles.

Why even think about a leaf, I would never think about that. Use your Z its a car and that is what cars are for. I use mine as a DD, I also read that you have a baby seat. Use the passenger side no big deal it is not as safe as the back but it is safe.

Because, not every company allows you to take your car home.

We have County cars, but we still have to drive into work... if we go anywhere we get to use one from the motor pool.


However, not many jobs require you to "entertain" clients, etc.

True. Just adding another viewpoint on why the Z isn't a good DD

Entertaining is the fun part! Being in the office all the time is too mundane for me.

Drove the clown car to work, free charge!!!

:iagree: Plan your life and buy accordingly. Live in FL and worry about snow? well why stop there, How is it in the arctic?

If your daily driver needs to sit three and you bought a two seater, then the entire statement is a Non starter.

Straw man argument:


Anyone can change the scenario. If you buy the Accord and then decide you need to drive six clients around, add in a few feet of snow and you still have a lousey DD. Should have bought the bus. Certainly 4WD.

I have had a two seat Z car for over 30 years as my DD and never hit snow, nor multiple unexpected clients needing a ride. We have taxi service in our area.

I am far more concerned with the possibility of the road opening up and finding myself alone with some curves, and not having my Z, then worrying about work.

Everyone is different though, as you said b15.

only reason why he wants the new accord sedan is because i said it looked cool.

So you are the wise guy eh. :icon17:

:icon17:

Yea the universe revolve around your stupidity

Agree. For me, a FWD sedan fits the bill nicely when I needed to take clients out and for inclement weather. Here in the Chicagoland area, unless you're a farmer....you don't need to worry about ANY roads opening up.

Granted now I travel all the time so leaving the Z as a weekend car works out perfectly.

Why? I rented one for a week and liked it. I loved the gas milage. If I didn't have a company vehicle I would consider one for a DD.

My 40 something wife DD's our Z and loves it. I even tried to get her to trade in on another car and she won't do it.

Just dont get a Mazda heard those were gay and will ride your ****. :rofl2:

I'm a machinist. Clients come to my shop, and snow is why I moved to Florida.

Rank #1 as the Best Cheap Small Vehicle.:tup:

I commute 120 miles round trip each day, That is like $10 per day on gas when I use it.

BTW is my daughter's car.

I drove 50 miles today, was able to charge it at work for free. I think I saved about $9 toward my $235 car payment. I am not asking for the car to pay for the entire thing, I just want it to offset about $135 in gas.

Car drives like poop, it is not the quietest nor is comfortable. Yet it is still easier to get to and from work for me
