I'm actually amazed at how many "car enthusiasts" don't know what it is, even that is about a 50/50 split at best.

OP, I wouldn't really classify a 300z as a daily driver, unless you found one in pristine condition. It's more along the lines of a project car that collects rust in your driveway.

This is what my tt 300zx is currently doing

Same with my wife's Celica GTS. She can't give that thing away, much less sell it.

A Z32 as a daily driver is asking for a headache... It's do-able, but the odds are typically stacked against you anymore. I've owned four of them, two of them were garage queens, one was a pile of junk that got sold before it got made into a WRL/Chump Car race car (Sold primarily because of poor reliability, high part cost, and the fact that it's a pain to work on. Replaced with a Miata because it's none of those).

As far as my daily driver, it's my FR-S.

53k miles and going strong. Just replaced the spark plugs in it (Jack the motor up to do spark plugs... YAY SUBARU!) and am finishing up my supercharger install today.

I'll take it if you are giving it away! Just drop it at my door.

A chevy SS would look purdy in my garage. I need a 4 door cruiser.

It would just sit there and rust instead though.

And considerably faster at that.
My neighbors would love me since just last year I got rid of a 58 Ford that sat there untouched for 5 years (and the sonofabitch started on the second crank and they drove it away).

We're going to need to do something, or the city will start complaining soon. It runs just fine, it's just not... pretty. I think we'll be selling it for scrap before too long.

NB miata. Done. Looking for all season? Forester or outback. Done again.

Terran · 04-08-2015, 01:34 PM

Used to DD my 1998 accord V6, which has always been so reliable. It made me love driving my FRS so much more when I did drive the FRS though.

horrorbiz · 04-08-2015, 01:40 PM

Yes, I DD a 2015 Ford Fiesta ST (Cobb stage 3)
