Weekend driver versus everyday commuter

 

MODERATORS PLEASE DUMP THIS POLL IN A WEEK OR SO. JUST CURIOUS AS TO THE RESULTS YET I DON'T WANT TO CLUTTER THE FORUM..

 

The Z is one of 4 cars I own right now and here soon it will be one of 5. Till I get the 5th it's a daily driver, afterwards it's a weekend car (and over winter it's a stored car).

 

my Z was intended as a weekend car... but I've been driving it everyday 2 weeks 1900 miles... doh!!

I guess I will switch over to my mr2 soon

 

the Z is a sweet 30k car, it has to pull its weight as an every day driver or it costs way too much for me.

I only put about 10k a year on my cars tho.

 

Drove my Z as a weekend car for the first month but with my TL sold, I drive my Z daily. I'll probably buy a "beater" commuter car soon. So Z will become my weekend car again.

 

I put everyday but it should have an asterix, as I work from home so I use it any chance I get, I kep my other car just in case but have used it very little.

 

I would call mine a "NICE DAY" car. I use a '98 SUV for everyday driving and here in the northeast that is pretty much EVERY day from November to April.

I like to enjoy the driving experience and having the Z as a nice-weather pleasure vehicle amplifies that.

BTW, I keep my Zs for a LOOOONG time and nice weather driving certainly helps that!

 

Mine is also a NICE DAY only car. It will be stored in the winter time but I will take it out when there is no slush, snow or ice.

It's so hard to resist the temptation to take it out. I get withdrawal symptoms when I am not driving it or looking at it...it's a beauty. It's such a let down to drive my winter beater car. I would drive my Z all year around if we don't get so much bloody snow up here.

 

I drive my Z 80 miles round trip to work everyday, and then on weekends whenever I'm not busy. I LOVE this car. I should mention that I commute over twisty mountain roads just so I can have fun on the way to work.

I've had my Z a little over 2 months (delivery 9/18/02) and have about 4700 miles.

Driving 120 miles tomorrow for Thanksgiving, then back another 120 on friday. Can't wait!

-D'oh!

 

My RX-7 is my daily driver and my super black performance 350Z is my weekend car.

 

The Z will be my daily driver, but I'm a firefighter, so only driven to work a couple of days a week. Luckily, my wife has a Tahoe for hauling people around.

 

If my eyes did'nt feel like they might fall out driving these city streets ....I would drive it daily.

Z is weekender only, or when it's a nice day and I just can't help myself. Daily/work commuter is a company car, an Intrepid, for most of the year.
Jeep Grand Cherokee for tooling around my five year old. And with no side passenger air-bag kill switch on the Z yet, he has yet to see the open road in it. And he's pretty pissed off about it

 

daily driver ....and more if applicable. the Z is my enjoyment...my therapy

hope youre all enjoying your Z's

.. I am getting mine in a couple of months. I am pretty sure I will drive it 3 or 4 days a week, only during the summer. I am going to watch the miles, try to keep it around the 5,000 mile a year range. My dad owns a car dealership and said he will let me have a stall. I will be doing mods all winter. Can't wait.
