Mine has not arrived yet, but when it does get here I plan on driving it regularly, except when it raining just because the chance of getting in an accident are higher. I have never been to a place where so many people are incapable of driving on wet roads... believe me. I've been all over the U.S. and S.C. takes the cake! So I voted "alternates with another vehicle".

I drive my 90tt every day to work,its about 21 miles of 15mph

corners.:devious:one way! some times its not long enough.However I've driven some older 240z's [shop cars] home.man it makes me all fuzzy just thi-

nking about it.my own 73 is still in box's sad I know but when you work

on every body elses z for a living its hard to find time for mine :cry:

I drive mine (70' 240Z) every day, every where, forwards, backwards, sideways,and every time I need to go to the parts store for more Z parts. If it were'nt for JZM, I'd probably be walking a few times a year. But I am learning to do a lot of the work myself.

Give yourself some credit big D.As you put it, If it were'nt for you

Id have to listen to my car instead of the stereo.[my 90 does'nt sound

quit like a 240z] nothing like the sound of a stage 2 cam,tripple webbers

and a 2.5in exhaust................. ahhh!

My driving habits in my 240 are basically,"The weekend warrior" on twisty roads. And of course, there is no outtings in foul weather...LIKE RIGHT NOW IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA!!!! This amount of rain in rediculous. Oh please Lord, make it dry up soon! I quess going around corners is what I enjoy the most....you know how fun it is to get somebody behind you that thinks he's going to pass and leave you in the twisties, only to find out that an old 240Z has pulled away effortlessly. Now of course I never go over the speed limit either!!! I'm sure you all believe my last statement? :D

When I lived in San Diego I drove mine everyday, about 25 miles to work one way. Now up here in the great frozen north I haven't driven her in two years. The restoration process is a slow one. But I'm planning on having her done for the nationals in August. Then I will drive her again.

Mine's a daily driver it's my only car still working on gradually improving performance and looks...however if it's nice out I might just take my bike as it gets mad if I don't give it attention too. So I picked daily and alternate :D

Mine is-was a garage queen. I spent so much time building her I was concerned about what I'd do if someone scratched her. That changed 3 1/2 years ago. Now I just drive when I want. Usually dry days though. Cars are meant to be driven. I still use my '90' as my daily driver, except today. 81 degrees and sunny. Had to take her out today.

My Z is my daily driver. I have her at college and I drive her back and forth from Stockton to Fremont a few times a month. Other than that, I just drive it around town. I wish my 260 was in the garage more, but what can you do. I voted as an alternate because I usually drive my gf's 99' Escort when I can, if the Z has a good parking spot behind the dorms.

Someday I would like to restore her, and possibly have another Z to alternate with.
