It's my DD for about 6 months out of the year. Have a beater to drive during the winter time here in Indiana and also to drive for the one month during the summer that I rack up almost 4k miles for work.

1999 Hugger Orange SS with white leather "garage queen" here. She's only got 13,450 on the odometer!!!
Ordered her in March of 99 & picked her up in June of 99. Talk about anticipation!?!?!? It was killing me!! I use my truck as my daily driver.

I'd kill myself if I had to drive my Z everyday. I like a big comfortable truck with an automatic to use as my daily driver. Maybe when I was 22 I would have liked to have a car like my Z to use everyday (I had a 90 Mustang LX but even that was an auto) but as I have aged I like more comfort in my everyday vehicle and the Z is not what I would call comfortable. To each his own.

.I can see what you mean, I hate seeing the small signs that my car is aging. For example, the leather on the seats doesn't look as 'un-wrinkled' as it used to, the carpet is not as spotless as it was, and the paint has tiny scratches from flying debris on the highway
. I do my best to keep it clean though, I too want it to last as long as possible.I definitely see what you mean though. I guess my case is different because if I were to get another car, all I could afford right now owuld be something that I'd rather not drive (cheap econobox). I don't mind the stick in daily driving though. Every car I've owned has been a stick and I enjoy it thoroughly. My dad tells me that I won't say the same thing when I get to be his age, but there's still plenty of time 'til I get there
