Every day
Yepp not a single day i dont drive the Z..Im smiling each morning as im walking to it. :] As for the blind spots..Its going on 2 weeks since I bought my Z. I noticed it..but you conquer it pretty quick..and I agree with other members saying it does help you become a great driver. Checking all mirrors and looking over your shoulder each time.

I think you forgot it doesn't work in snow.

oreo the Z is a nice car.. but it sure as hell isn't a lambo..
I daily drive it every day. 2005 with almost 40k miles on the odo.
blind spots don't annoy me.. I just avoid changing lanes as much as possible.

Even with snow tires a few inches and it's dead because its so low to the ground. Now it's a different when the road is plowed isn't it?
Don't play smart with me I always win.

I wouldn't drive my Z during the rougher winter months when snow and ice are involved (I have a Jeep Cherokee 4WD for that--though I won't deny that I'd much rather have a Nissan Murano 
). Otherwise, I drive my new Z every chance I get, every day.
I did notice the "blind" spots the first time I actually sat in a Z in a showroom and took one for a test drive, but with the driver and passenger seats and mirrors properly adjusted (and knowing when to take a quick glance with the turn of your head), you adapt quickly and it's not a problem.
The Z has a tendency to force you to raise your situation awareness when behind the wheel--which is actually a good thing compared to some vehicles that may lull you into a false sense of security and laziness by relying only on your mirrors.

[QUOTE=blazed54]DD and no problem with blind spots if your mirrors are set correctly. If i don't see a car in my sideview mirrors, then they're either right next to me where they can't be missed, or it's clear.
