Daily drive the Z or get a Leaf for commuting

I think the Leaf will cost me about $100-150 a month, of course this doesn't factor in the wear and tear of the Lexus or the Z. It's definitely not a necessity, but it isn't a high priced gamble given the $2500 state credit to reimburse my downpayment. I figure the car can be share between my wife and I, I can also keep it as a second car to throw my kid in there as the new car seat might not fit in the Z. The basket carrier was great, but he is at the limit pretty much.

Living in CA is extremely cheap. We just make up rumors to keep the productive away.

Relatively speaking, the salary makes up for everything except freaking housing is 3x more than most other states. Track days are cheaper though.
