I daily drive a 2012 C250, and if I need to put more people in I take the 2013 Cayenne. If I'm going to somewhere dirty, I usually take the old 2004 Cayenne S. Z is for fun, and parking a car this low is usually a problem here in Taiwan.

ST2, didn't think the bump to ST3 was worth the bucks for me. I think they sell more ST3's than any other but I'm not paying an extra >2 grand extra for fancy headlights and interior lighting. I personally prefer the leather/cloth seats to the full leathers of the ST3, anyway.

My daily is a '94 240SX convertible but I felt I needed another vehicle with more space too. So I got a '14 SRT Grand Cherokee. It's a great truck with seating for 5, roof racks, tow package up to 7200lbs, and is faster than the Z. It runs a 0-60 in 4.4 sec! But that hasn't replaced my 240 as my daily.

Do you think a 600 is harder to ride than a 650? I think I heard somewhere that the throttle is harder to control on the 600 than on the 650 and that it can get away from you easier.

Depends on the bike. But I would say most 600s are tougher to ride than 650s. Most companies make their 600s their full on sport bike because the race classes are limited to 600cc. The 650 bikes are usually built as more sport tourers, so not as tough a suspension or agressive seating angle and throttle map(my 600 revs to 16k rpm). The throttle is definitely a lot more sensitive on a 600. As long as you are careful on a 600 it is fine though, just respect the bike while you are getting used to it. Not going to lie, ive def run with some 500hp(crank) cars without too much of an issue so they are def no slouch either though. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or anything, Ive been riding for years now

my second car is my 2014 versa note, bought it for the time being till i can get my hands on another Z when im more prepared plus it serves as my fun car as it is actually pretty fun to drive, my daily is a 96 honda civic, that despite having a cracked exhaust manifold still pulls strong and doesnt give me any problems...also a fun car to drive, but unlike many civic owners i am keeping it as stock as possible

2010 Honda Fit with some goodies installed! As a former Xterra owner I would honestly recommend against them unless you seriously need to have all that space and towing capacity all the time. I hated my Xterra since I never used it for more than just daily driving and honestly if the Fit was out in the US at the same time I would have just bought one back then. The Fit has more if not equal space inside and gets more than double the MPGs You could always just rent a truck when you need to tow something and get a Fit or a Note like Mike has below Quote:
