Default How often do you drive your Z?

Maybe I should put the question in this way: How many miles do you guys drive for each day?

I bought my car like a month ago, and I have already had like 800 miles on it! so, I'm just trying to reduce the times to drive my car, but still I gotta drive like 20 miles/day. (plus several round-trips to hollywood for every weekend. )

The car turned into the daily driver so I put about 40-50 miles a day on it.

I'll probably end up getting another daily driver sometime. The car is so fun to drive that I haven't a pressing need to actually go out and shop for a DD.

I think once I have my Z I'll pick up a cheap beater to drive in the colder months, maybe keep the mileage down on the Z. I have a long commute (60+ mile round trip for work, then when I decide to go out for recreation that likely doubles). I'm thinking maybe a truck or a jeep cherokee so I can haul **** around considering the size of the Z.
