Default Is the Z your beater car?

I know there are plenty of people who make more $$ than me and I was wondering if the Z is your daily driver, commuter type car or is it your pride and joy and possibly the nicest car you will ever own, like me?

Well I don't mean beater in the hard core beater way but is it the car lowest in your fleet?

well I'm 18 and it's my only car now that my sister got her license, I wish I could have it as a weekend driver though.. but I drive it every day everywhere, and I think it's better that way, enjoy it to the fullest.

it's my daily driver car, because eventhough i love the car, and I go out and buy another car as a daily driver, I'd still drive my Z everyday, so it defeats the purpose....I wouldn't say it's my pride and joy, cuz I'd trade it in in a heartbeat once something better comes alone

It's my only car. Imagine a college student moving all his stuff from his dorm into his Z... Haha. Needless to say I fit a lot more than I thought I would.

She's my daily driver. I put about 80 miles a day on her everyday. I also have a 300ZX with snow tires for a winter car.

to me...I can't have a "daily driver", because, I'd still want to drive my "weekend car" everyday, since, obviously, the weekend car is gonna be a much better car....I like to enjoy my car for what it is...not something I drive once a week, I want to put miles on that beyotch from enjoying it....I guess that's the reason why I can't own a Ferrari or a supercar...other than the money to buy one, I don't think i can afford the cost maintenance for driving that car as a daily driver....again, if I have the money, I'd get me an Ferrari or Lamborghini and drive it all day everyday...

Its my daily and beater. My gtfour is my race car. Mostly because, it is paid for, and if I mess up or something, I would not loose a 30k car. My z sees autoxes though.

Daily driver. I will probably get a better car in a year or so to accompany the Z. Looking at either a used M5 or NSX.
