Garage queen!

But I'll really enjoy it when I take it out!

It will have many, many coats of Liquid Glass (my polish of choice). This is a polish that builds with each coat. As time goes by and coats increase the finish will look very deep.

I am keeping the MAX for now, I put 40,000 miles on it last year, and don't want to do that to my new Z. If I get to the point that I am not driving the Maxima, I will sell it, and use the money for a down payment on a house.

Austin is a great place, but traffic sucks.... Although I am usually on the road, so no biggie.

Most the miles on the Maxima were from driving to Dallas, but I have been going to Germany, Cali, and NY more now, so it may be fewer miles on the car, and goodbye Maxima.

Mine will be a weekend and "nice evenings" vehicle. My daily 5 mile commute is too short for the oil to warm up. Also concerned about the large trucks and SUVs that tend to park next to me in the office garage. If the Z had door guards, this would be less of an issue.

Kind of in between weekend warrior and daily drive. May take it out to work a day or two a week depending on my schedule. Otherwise i will save it for the weekends and those special trips when i need to look swave and deboner!

Finally, just sold my house and will be moving into my fully decorated 1 bedroom 0 bath, burnt orange appointed, 260 watt Bose stero system Z hopefully sometime in August/September.

Both commuting to work and weekend warrior. May give the engine an exercise during lunch break to keep the valve clean. Take my wife out even she didn't ask. Volunteer to pick up a gallon of milk whenever... Chauffeur kids to Band practice, oops, they all have their own cars.

Default Daily Driver

The other car we own is a 1999 Maxima; it belongs to my wife and I have been driving it for about 2 months after surgerie(s). The Max is HER CAR and I can drive it only if she is in it as long as we have 2 cars. The Z will be our second and MY CAR. i WILL BE DRIVING THE mAX UNDER SPECIAL CONDITIONS ONLY WHEN THE Z GETS HERE.


I'm only kidding(SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED) isn't really like that.

Thumbs up

Although the "POLL" is closed, I wondered how many of you have changed your minds on this topic as our cars draw nearer........? Still only on the weekends for me.
