'05 ZR is daily driver from April through October. Then I'll have to break out the winter beater, my '07 G35X.

My 04 is my daily driver and I put about 40 miles a day to and from work. On the weekends I add another 100+ miles or so when the wife and I cruise around. I have 32,300 on it as of today's date.

Bought my ZR new back in 2004 and it has 4100 miles on it now... I have a FX35 as my daily driver... ZR pretty much sits in the garage unless the weather is really nice on the weekend, then I take her out for a spin....

Daily driver (20mi/day) except on the few days I have to pick up my dogs at the vet or transport my motorcycle. If it isn't raining the top goes down.

Dude, you have almost as many posts as you do miles on your car! Imagine how much fun you'd have if you spent as much time driving your ZR as you do posting. I've got the same car, same year, same color as you, and she just ticked over 62,000 today. My "post to roadster fun ratio" is much higher.

True, but driving in traffic with my 6sp manual is not quite as fun as you might think.... Not to mention most of the time when I go out with my GF I usally end up taking a few of her friends along also, so we end up with the FX35 most of the time.... I plan on keeping this ZR for life so there's no need to rush miles on it....

It mostly gets used during the summer months where I spend a lot of the time at the beach, I just see no reason to run up commuter miles on it..

No daily for me (show car) - mileage will be low maybe 2,000-3,000 a year on the road with another 350 (good number) a year on the dyno. Currently it is completing the circuit of shops for modding. I have had it 5 days and put 270 on it with 50 of those on the dyno.

Weekend driver here but on the weekends I do drive it. Up to 200 miles a day on a weekend is not unusual. I have about 6200 miles on here now and she will be 1 year old in 7 days.

Daily driver here - with our G35 Sedan (wife's car) as backup in case it's raining (which is rare) - the weather out here in SD is just too nice not to enjoy Z whenever I can.

P.S. Top goes down always unless it's below 45 degrees.

Do about 55K a year at work, so the 95 Maxima (324,000Km) does all the legwork. All the more sweeter to jump in my ZR on those nice days. 8)
