Daily driven, all day, everyday. I drive around 2000 miles a month. I've done a lot of mods and plan to do a lot more. Personally, I don't see the point in paying $25,000 to $30,000+ for a car that's just going to sit around and collect dust. I will admit that some of the mods get anoying after a while and I've even taken some of them off. Then after a bit, I'll either miss the sound or the feeling that mod gave to to the car and back the mod goes, on the car.

 

mines daily driven too, sort of, i do have a beater 93 legend that i drive when i go places i dont know or need to leave the max in the open where i dont know, but wheres the fun in driving an older car. But i'm currently debating if i should drive the max only on the weekends....

 

daily driven... 3,500 miles a month and counting. Lowered at approx. 100,000 and currently have 115k miles ON stock struts and chopped maxspeeds. Still rides fine haha

 

Nope , no garage queen here!
The Max is meant to be driven, and drive it everyday is what i do. Already have 62,000 miles and loving it. Slightly modded and going to do more, cars are meant to be driven not to be a garage queen!

 

I did it for a year in Queens until i got a job in Manhatten now i'm a straphanger... Way to expensive to park in the city

 

Daily Driver in the winter/rainy days....Motorcycle in the summer. But with gas prices, looking for a rain suit for my motorcycle. Stupid gas people (Anybody associated with the rather random fluxuations of gas prices)

 

drive mine everyday... put about 25k miles per year.....
when i get older, i'll get a better car for the weekends and keep my maxima as my daily driver

 

i just replaced my rear wheel bearings!
your on your second set...what do you do

 

Mine's a daily driver. I drive at least 60 miles per week day. I don't have any issues with scraping or with my 19". Atlanta (newer areas I drive) has pretty good roads.

Or I ride the bike....

 

bought mine july of 99. used to be a daily driver. many different mods and only 50k on it.been in four nice bangups that have been repaired.
since i got the new engine in feb 04 its a weekender. only 600 miles to date.

 

I drive everywhere in my Max. Suspension is stock, but will be dropping it this weekend with Tein S and Tok Illuminas. I live and work in the city. I can use public tranportation, but I prefer to drive in everyday.

 

my max is staying on stock 17's and stock suspension as long as i work in DC, no way in hell bigger rims and lower ride will get me through the pot holes in Northwest

 

Mine is a DD. Stock right now, but plan on replacing shocks and springs to start in the short term. I'm looking for better handling and performance. I tend to drive pretty agressively. I don't think it will be an issue. If it is, I can always go back.

 

i can't afford another car so my maxima is my one and only. it was truely love at first sight. driving my 5-speed is too much fun to let it sit in the garage. driving in so cal with the miles paved roads and excellent weather is also a big plus.

 

No, my 2001 SE Maxima is not my daily driver. I have a 1994 Sentra LE. Then too, I only live 1 mile from work. To date, my Maxima only has 5,966 miles on it, and that's in 3 years of ownership! With gas prices being what they are, I know what I'll be driving more from now on!

 

My maxima is our daily driver. We have a 36 mile round-trip commute on city streets too.

Except on Tuesdays, when they street clean, I have to drive the integra so I don't get a ticket for it being parked in the way. Hopefully I'll sell the car soon and not have to worry about it anymore. The Max goes in the parking spot, the Chevelle gets the garage and hasn't actually been run in a couple of weeks except moving it in and out of the garage to work on the Max's brakes.

 

Mine is a daily driver for my small business, only I drive it and bodykit will be on @ the end of the month- w/ no drop or aftermarket wheels- I love the OEM wheels and stock ride

My "poser" stage(driving around lowered w/ bling wheels) passed along time ago- Thats why I bought the Maxima (comfort/power) why would I go back to the things that made me uncomfortable
to drive everyday? Besides they bring more harm than good......

 

All DD here. No performance mods because if I wanted a sports car I woulda bought one. And no outside show mods because I would like to keep the things that belong to me. Tint and rims makes your car a moving target for thieves (and cops).

 

Mine's a DD, but mostly city driving. I agree with what others have said. I modded it to make it more enjoyable to drive and look at. It's a great car and needs to be driven and it's so comfortable. Gas mileage isn't that bad IMO.

 

It's my daily driver.....i can only afford one car...i'm 19

I want a probe though......to be my daily driver......

 

mine is lowered and i will be putting 20s on it soon hopefully. I use it as my DD and i put on 200 miles per day. Mind you we have top class roads here.

 

I drive my car as a daily driver i dont drive much but i use it everyday i got a body kit sum 18' chrome rims and all that fancy stuff but as long as you know how to drive youll be alright

 

Daily driver here too

why put all teh money into it and not drive it
also these cars are made to be daily drivers

cars you keep stashed are project cars
-J

 

my car is a DD lowered with a body kit in the Dirty Jerz......gotta show off what you got u kno...

plus an 18 year old cant afford two cars

 

Daily driver here. Not planning on modding too much either, just a damn good daily drive and road trip car.

 

I drive my Max daily, and I had to go back to stock springs (from Tiens) because the ride was too stiff and the roads I drive on were to rough. The week after I got my Teins, they repaved the main road by my house. They had to tear off the old pavement, and for two weeks driving that road was a nightmare. I actually caught myself driving slower so bumps wouldn't hurt as much. My poor kidneys...

 

hmmm...dd during summer. weekend driver during school yr mostly. ga tech is pretty hard and the parking isnt safe...i dont need the car distracting me during the weekdays...its 100% school 5 days a week...then party and drive car on weekends

 

Mine is a daily driver. I have over 64,000 miles on it now in just over 2 years. A Maxima is meant to be driven and that is what I am doing with it.

 

I think a more appropriate question would be: Who's Max is NOT a DD? Who actually buys a Max as a project car? Who packs it away for the winter, and why? I think this thread would be shorter then.

I don't think anyone buys a max with the intent of it NOT being a DD. The only cars you buy with that in mind are sports cars and/or classics, with the exception of some of us Northerners who also have beaters for the winter. But even that I don't really understand. If I wasn't going to drive my car all year 'round, then I wouldn't have gotten a FWD sedan, I would have gotten something a sportier and RWD.

 

i put on average about 100 miles a day on my car and im at about 142k right now but my mods dont get in the way

 

Daily driver here. Had since July 03 and have 18k on it.

 

I have an 88 S10 Blazer I drive in winter and in bad weather. Living in the Northeast it has saved my Maxima from so much damage (road salt, snow storms). I have about 15,000 miles on the Max and it's still in mint condition. I drive it mostly in the warmer months.

 

Almost 60k now

 

omg..142k. Did you buy your car used? Likewise, that is good to know that our engines will last that many miles. Im only at 45k..lol
