Yeah -- When I was working on my Bachelor's degree I used to work on a masonry crew weekends and vacations -- building block and brick walls. Being entry-level meant that I spent most of my time digging footings, etc. Back-breaking stuff.

I can relate!

I was a "hod" carrier when I was in college. That was a local term for "hard". I worked on the crew that mixed and transported the mortar, as well as set-up the scaffolds and laid out the cinder blocks and mortar plates for the brick layers.

Imagine lifting cinder blocks and mortar five stories on a series of scaffolds. I was definitely in the best shape I've ever been in my life. Ate five big meals a day, drank beer all night, and still weighed only 148 lbs. I'm 6'1" and weigh 20 pounds more these days. Such is progress.

Man -- I have not heard the term "hod" for a while. Yep -- making mud, building scaffolding (bucks, braces and boards), humping block and brick, taking crap from the genius masonry masters -- all good times.

Back in Virginia, there were days in the winter when I had to make a fire in a 55 gallon drum that we poured our sand pile around. The heat melted the frozen sand enough so we could shovel it into the mixer.

My round trip commute is less than 13 miles a day, and I park in a reserved spot in a covered garage. The only time my Z is ever in the sunlight is on the commute home. I really enjoy my time in the Z; more than any other car I've owned in 35 years.

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.

Hell yea... Base is ~13 miles from my home.. however if I go through town it takes longer.
Sadly my Z hasn't been in the garage since I got her home.. it's full and I have been retarded busy.. however, I do wash her fairly frequently and only at dusk so it's not so hot out.. however.. the broken under tray, and PS leak make me sad panda, and I don't want to drive her..
