I drive 2.5 miles one way.

I am a little over 10x that, 26 miles one way to get to work. Add to that, the fact hardly any of the traffic lights work and we have a real nightmare come 5pm. Houston has really sucked these past couple weeks.

Yeah and I do outside sales, that is how I racked up 50k on the Ford in 2 years Mad

Now I drive my brothers 2wd, 4cyl Nissan during the work week as it gets about 21 MPG. The Ford only comes out on the weekends.

This weekend I fixed my window track that was dragging and hand waxed the entire truck then put her back in storage. Sure feels good to put only about 50 mi a week on her

I am not lookign forward to havign to drive 10-15 miles one way. Moving to the suburbs is inevitable now with a baby on the way.
