I daily drive my Z. It's very difficult now with the cage, race seat and stiff suspension so i'm going to purchase a daily driver but i'm not quite sure what to buy. I'm thinking of a SUV or a truck.

my dd also. I can't find myself driving a non-performance oriented car even for a daily driver.

11k miles in 3 1/2 months on my 07 Z.. So yeah I beat the biatch anytime I get a chance. Keeps the miles down on my bimmers.

Its just a car ......drive it! BTW I have been looking at those nismo frontiers too.They are pretty sweet. My 05 pathfinder is close to 90k now.

Daily mine too. I usually have the windows down and turn my head when im changing lanes to avoid that huge blind spot from the rear quarter panels to the back. i guess you could put those convex circle mirrors on your car.

If you are considering a used SUV get like a 2001 Pathfinder with the all mode 4wd. I love mine. It's been trouble free. Quiet, nice inside with leather. You can get them for a real good price with about 60K on the clock. They will go way past 200K with the VQ motor. Only 2001 and 2002 though. After that your getting into the larger ones and the price goes up. The older ones have lots less HP. I mean 250HP in a small SUV is more than most V8's. They go really good.





I love my VQ motors !!! The Pathfinder was one of the major reasons I bought the Z.... because I love the torque of this V6 so much!

gave my TSX to my girlfriend... so my Z is my daily! ... in order to avoid the "blind spot" you are coming across, just down-shift and punch it
