The fact that work is only 15 minutes away from home on neighborhood street driving, living here in L.A., not having to battle it out on a freeway commute is a bonafide bonus. The fact that I work with engines, not people for a living. Engines don't purposely try to screw with you, ( like people ), and any mechanical difficulty is nothing more than a challenge, and there's a solution. There's always something to learn every day. And, just as when I was singing and got to meet so many "names" in that business that I grew up listening to, I now run into many "name "racers that I may have watched or read about in old Hot Rod magazines. I wear a uniform, so I don't have to decide what to wear to work, or thrash my own clothes for work. I can build my own "stuff", not pay others $$$$$ to do it.
