FlatBlack Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 (edited) It rained hardcore last night. I took the Jeep to work. This new car WILL NOT see rain. Unless it's a race day I finally have one that is not trying to oxidise its way into oblivion while I'm trying not to eat cones.

Mr. kazimi Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 This is my, almost, a daily driver. My kids love this car and Z's have their own charisma regardless of the fumes and the noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 This is my daily driver since 1989, no plans to stop anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComicArtist Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 My '78 is my college car. I drive it to school every day, as well as to the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO-Z Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 On the street for about 30 miles over a year ago, last time I moved it 6 months ago into a trailer about 30 ft. Mine is more of a yearly or bi yearly driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260ruztmachine Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I've been DD my 260Z for almost two weeks now. Fumes and exhaust note make me light headed and dizzy if I drive it for more than 15 min at a time lol. But over all its a good car, I have a list of issues I have to fix (brakes, leaking fuel pump, locks, etc.) But they haven't stopped me from driving it to work (two blocks away) school (2 miles away) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geking Posted October 21, 2010 Share Posted October 21, 2010 I dd my 1990 300zx NA 2+2. I did, however drive my 280z up from the bay to Burke at night in the last major rainstorm 3 or so weeks ago. Hitting standing water going 70 stripped the ducttape covering the drain plug holes in the floorpan and gave me a bath as well as scaring the crap out of me.

jakeoster Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 The only car I own is my 240z. Love it and drive it usually one or two times a week. A friend of mine recently got a hold of a new Impreza STI so we have been driving out in the mountains for fun as of late. An old Z may not suit many people as a driver but I enjoy it. Maybe I just haven't had the privilege of driving a new car =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just haven't had the privilege of driving a new car =p I wouldn't have been able to do it w/o my parent's help. They pitched some money as part of an early graduation present and the rest I'm paying off. I loved driving the Z, and miss it a LOT, but I just couldn't afford the gas anymore and I didn't want to throw any money into an engine that I'm ultimately going to pull. I got to see a Kia soul at the Denver International Auto show, Pretty comfortable and also pretty cool, Have fun with it, tell us what you think of it sometime. I love it. The 2.0 has plenty of pep, the build quality is very tight-feeling, and you can't beat the warranty. The upgraded stereo is awesome and it helps that it's a 5-speed!

lowrider Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I've daily driven the car for close to a year, for the exception of some winter weather driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollum Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I'm posting here in honor of "resurrection Sunday", haha. Not really, just a funny coincidence. So my s30 hasn't really been driven since I received my last 81 for free. Surprise... Well now with yet another car in the stable and a kiddo on the way I'm planning to sell my s130 and use the cash to get the s30 back on the road as a summer DD. Gutted doors, no bumpers, no dash, no heat, no AC. Just the way I like a s30 to be. When I WAS daily driving it, it wasn't much more street friendly but the main reason it got parked was an OEM efi that was running as well as a school girl in gym class the first day of school after growing 3 inches over the summer. So, ms2 + seats and some other odds and ends and I'll be in the s30 again rocking it hardcore. And because I live in the valley now, a "summer" dd means 9 months of the year with some off and on during a couple storms on the end months.

Jesse OBrien Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm looking for a few daily driven s30's to feature this season, so if anyone out there is still dd'ing and isn't opposed to getting some good photos, just email them in to features@drivendaily.org. It'd need to be safe, reliable, and street-legal, but the more quirky and fun it is, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldAndyAndTheSea Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'm going to be dailying mine starting in the next couple weeks, whenever I swap into my new bushings. I'll go til November ish, until the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
