I drive it at least 50 miles a day. I'm also considering getting a beater to drive to work but I doubt I would want to drive it while the Z is in the garage.

Mine only about 30 miles a week. Usually only on the weekends. I have a company provided vehicle that I put 1,000 miles on it a week. Love having a company car!! Gas, insurance, maintance, washes, you name it, FREE!!!

And you wonder why your medications cost soooooo much!!

Car is 14 months old now and has 5800 miles on it. I work 4.5 miles from home, and I drive the car to work probably 2 or 3 times a week if the weather is clear. Most of my miles have been on weekend or evening drives and to or from events.

I just hit 9000 miles and I have had it nearly a year. It is my weekend and evening vehicle on good weather days. I drove it to Orlando for Z fest so that added quite a bit. I also drove it to Biloxi when I went to my company Christmas party so that added some more miles. Other than those two road trips, I drive it around town only.

I just got mine 4/4/05 it has 400mi on it now. I have a daily driver. I use the Z almost everynight to do something just cause i need to drive it. I als otake it to work once a week. I can see how this could quickly turn into a daily driver.

Mine will be a daily driver. Fortunately, the drive to work will only be about two miles so it won't pile up too fast. But I know I'll make up for it with pleasure cruises.

it's nice to see everyone driving their cars. My dealer looked surprised that it would be my daily driver and said most Z's are bought for a toy. I drive 60 miles round trip to work everyday and usually quite a few on the weekend too since my wife absolutely hates to drive. I figure putting about 20,000 miles a year on mine sounds right. Only drawback I see is that the warranty won't last long.
