plus, it's worth something to me just to be able to spend 20 minutes of time, by myself, and kind of unwind before I get home. it's a quiet, peaceful ride(all country roads, usually don't meet any more than half a dozen other vehicles). I think it keeps me from being too much of an a-hole w/my family when I get home. hell, the wife wishes I worked farther away.

If you're driving a company provided vehicle you can knock off the vehicle costs, which would make the difference about $70,000 instead of $210,000, assuming you value your time at minimum wage.
I agree with you about the "me time", though. I could easily drive or take the bus to work, but I walk. It's primarily for the exercise, but at the same time I've found that a 25-minute walk is good for getting me out of work mode and into home mode or vice versa. I'm not sure I could do that with a 10-minute drive.
