Let ppl laugh. If you're going to spend money modding a car, it's a good idea to have a commuter for daily driving to work. What is the point of driving a nice car when ppl have no respect for others properties. Door dings and such.

I rarely drive my Z anywhere where parking is hard to find and I always park where no one else want to (far far away, way in the back).

I have a 97 honda civic with 206,000+ miles on it and I park that anywhere. Funny...ppl wont open their doors on that car. Putting in regular unleaded doesn't hurt either and far better gas mileage than my Z (especially the way I drive ).

My daily is a 1999 dodge stratus. I really hate that car though, I've been wanting to sell it for a 240.
