I can't drive my Z to work, because I haven't had a job since 1992.

My red '85 300ZX 5MT coupe was a DD for seven years, though, so I know how much fun it can be.

I have an Acura CL as a winter beater but I love to drive my Z as my DD. My car was not meant to be parked up in the garage collecting dust.

The Z always makes my commute a little more bearable. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck driving my beater, as we're still getting weekly storms here in Utah.

Well worth dealing with the weather for the snowboarding though

My drive to work is about 17.5 miles.

I usually drive the Civic to work 3 days out of the work week and the Z on the other 2 days. 120hp auto 4spd is soooo boring, but she sips regular unleaded.

The Z days are definitely a much better commute ;]

My ZR is my DD. Has to be, I was about to mount .50cals on the 97 Max I had before. Now, even the hicks with trucknuts get out of the way. Love it.

Also, can anyone else confirm that the ZR is a gotdamm time machine? I swear my commute is shorter since buying a ZR...

Why do you drive her so hard? Poor girl...

I drive my DD, a '04 VW Jetta, harder than I drive the Z!

Guess using the 04 payed off Titan as a DD is not helping much in the MPG dept., but that "tank/APC" feeling is a nice piece of mind in the work parking lot (already alittle scarred from hurricanes and 4x4ing) and on the road with all the idiots Mon through Fri. The Z gets weekend, holiday and evening duty.
I did recently get to take the Z on a 2 hour road trip to a work convention/conference and it sure was fun on the highway.
