That's why I haven't really considered a daily driver. If the situation were to change, either a longer commute or harsher parking conditions, I'd probably get a Fit or a Yaris for daily driver.
Yeah, a couple of years ago when I started here, the lot was empty on the North end of the building, and all the guys who cared would park their cars out there, we didn't all know each other but there was a certain respect, you knew where people parked and you left a space between you...

Now it's crowded even 150 yards from the building and you're right on top of the landscaping or whatever, and some jackass is always looking to beat you to work so they can snipe one of the good spots, so I just don't bother... I drive my Civic, get 34 MPG, and don't worry about what I'm going to find when I walk out there at night.
