I don't see why not? I can always invest in a clear bra.

And now I get to drive a manual every week

That is exactly what I miss about my old integra! I can't believe how much more gas I spend. I want to eventually get in a firm with a company truck. I even contemplated trading the IS in for a prius, since I get paid per mile.

I just started the job last week and have been to one site so far in Philly. I parked on the street off the construction site. I will see what the other sites are like this week. Also, I would have to calculate the gas I spend on the IS350 a week compared to savings with a more fuel efficient car.
