I don’t do AutoX. I think it’s a waste of time and resources and it just hurt the car. That’s just my opinion. I do plenty of full road course track days though.
I don’t speed on the highway ‘cuz I believe I pay enough taxes as it is and don’t want to contribute more than necessary !

i drive maybe 70 miles a day in my Z since i drive back and fourth between high school and college and i work 15 miles away from my house. i've had it for around 45 days and i've driven maybe 2,700 miles. time for oil change...
For everyone who doesn't want to put miles on your car or pointless miles per se, what exactly is pointless. You go from point A to B because you have to. It doesnt matter if your Z is your daily driver or your second car for fun. You bought it because you want to drive it. I hate hearing about how they don't like using their car to commute to work or school , etc etc. The Z is meant to be driven lol. As for me I use mine as a daily driver because I'm forced to. I can't afford a beater because I'm a poor college student who worked 3 years at a cell phone company to save up for a nice down payment on the Z. And every mile I put on it I thrilled. 2003 track with 35000 miles and loving it. -john

Mines a 2006 SB. Daily driver and work is about 26 miles each way and I dont even look at the odometer. I'll drive the Z till something major breaks, then I'll trade it in at Nissan and roll out with whatever year/version/flavor of Z they got.

I do and yesterday two nights ago, I heard the awful sound of bottoming the Z. There was heavy snow here in Toronto after a storm hit and I drove to Toronto for New Years Party. I was extremely impressed with how capable this car is in the snow except during lane changes. I feel a wobble as I cross over the mounds of snow separating lanes. All was fine and dandy until I got to the city. The snow had covered the RAISED tracks for the street car. I was riding on the tracks with is leveled with equally raised concrete and hense I did not feel anything different when I was on the tracks, but then noticed that this was not a lane for cars and street cars only so when I switch back on the lane...I hear screetching metal as the bottom of my Z grinds getting off the concrete. I wanted to shoot myself. I kept telling myself it wouldn't have happened if I had gotten off the previous exit like I should have because I knew the road was clear back there instead of this area. But as a daily driver...everytime I sit in the car and turn her on, it turns me on. I'm selling it in the spring to move to the city and I hope to get $30,000 CDN which is about a $6000 loss for driving it about 20,000km. Just 3 seasons. I invested in slotted brakes, sss. lines, and a sick Alpine system that is customized to look stock. It's gonna hurt bad when I give up the keys.
Daily Driver here too. I have about a 70mile comute per day so wanted something I would actualy enjoy driving. My VW Golf GTI VR6 was boring and bland.
Of course I live in Floida so the only snow we get is from the Gov. blowing it up our collective azzes. Oh wait, that's smoke...

I kept my 94 Nissan SE V6 pickup when I bought my Z which was a good thing. For the first year I drove my car on the weekends only and my truck to work. Now I have a new job and am driving the Z more often to work.
Bottom line, hava second vehicle if you can but drive that Z as often as you can cause its so much more fun.....
