I daily drove my current B13 from when I bought it in 2008 until 2016,
except for 18 months when it was getting a new motor.. (2011-2013). In that
time I had a G35 coupe to get me around.

In 2013 I bought a 2006 M35x and then in 2015 a 2013 370Z. I may have
driven the M35x 60% of the time to the 40% with the Sentra. the Z, I drove
it 20% compared to 80% with the Sentra.

Right now I have a 2015 Titan PRO-4X. I don't daily anything though. I work
from home and I get out maybe 3 times a week if I'm lucky.. The SE-Rs motor
is pulled and waiting to be rebuilt....
