Daily Driver....until they take my license away!

Ready for winter with full set of Blizzaks. I tried to "save" a nice convertible 10 years ago - drove a 4dr Tercel in winter, rainy days, etc. only to have the wife "accidently" take out the mailbox, post and all, along with the driver's side rear fender one day. "Couldn't see it" !!! It taught me that you might as well drive 'em and enjoy 'em.

Daily driver here too. Unless the wife wants it...I sneak out before she does! Or I hide the keys!

Mine, mine, mine!

It's my daily ride although my work is less than 10 mins away. I love my Z and since I live in paradise and have beautiful weather all year round I figure I might as well enjoy it!!

Daily driver for me 8 months out of the year. It's 170 miles round trip to / from work for me. I put over 3000 miles on per month. I love EVERY mile. (That is AFTER I had my new tires installed and the car aligned after my feathering / cupping issue...)

Right now it is my daily driver, but eventually I want that to change.

Daily driver. Only drive less than 20 miles a day though, so not that bad.

I've had my car for 5 months and only just hit 4000 miles.

it's a car, it's meant to be driven. why would i drive a beater around when i can enjoy every minute? keeping a car garaged during the week is like having plastic covers on your sofas. what are you saving it for? since there's no snow here in southern california, i can drive it every day.

On weekends... as far as I can go... plan the routes every weekend.

Same here our 350 and 03 Max are are daily drivers and drive them in nice weather and they both show that witht their mileage to be only 10 months old, 14,500 and 12,300 respectively. We have an 89 Maxima in great condition that we carpool in on bad weather days although I did get caught in the 350 last week in some bad weather, the day started out nice but when I got off it was horrible out. I'm about to go out right now to wash it!

The Z is my daily driver, including Ohio winters. I'll have the fun of driving it every day and it will still look showroom clean when spring arrives. The Rx7 has earned the right to be babied because it is approaching 20 years old and is still like new. The Miata has become a race car project.

My Sunday Morning car is the awesome Dino. It's older than most of the members of this forum, sexier than the Z and definitely too temperamental and expensive to drive everyday even if I wanted to.

So far...7 months..3600 miles, haven't had to deal with snow yet. But I have an old '85 S10 4 x 4, that I bought new. Damn ner 20 yrs old, gotta be careful slamming doors cause she loses a couple pounds every time I do. Only live 1.7 miles from work, so if the roads are clear, hell yea she'll be driven. Didn't buy it to sit and look at, it's a CAR. Drive it. Thinking of looking for a new job farther from home so I can drive it more...j/k

Daily Driver, except when it snows. Once it snows, it's stuck in the garage until my driveway melts off - 300 feet, steep, with 2 90-degree turns. 13 months old and just hit 10,000 miles.

Mine's going to be my daily driver as well...I'd prefer to have a beater, but I've got my savings earmarked for bigger things right now.

Finally putting on the Blizzaks next week....hopefully they'll keep me from regretting the daily driver decision this winter.

Nope. Had my 350Z for 14 months now, 6K on the roads. I drive it on sunny, warm days and park in my garage at all times.
