Likwid Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 one way or roundtrip?47 miles one way or 94 round tripGood catch, intended 1 way, although like you figured out, you were in the same bucket I currently commute 25 miles one way, but a company I'm interviewing with is 39 miles away....the big caveat though, I work 3 days from home now, so I'm a bit jaded.

EvilTwin Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Man my commute is only 13 miles one way and I think that's to far, guess I'm kinda spoiled though b/c I used to only live 4 miles away then I moved across town and actually have to deal with rush-hour traffic now.

ReconRat Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) Buy a cheap car new. You'll burn it out in just 2 or 3 years. Factor that into the cost.edit: 8 miles one way, and 9 miles back Edited October 16, 2010 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted October 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Buy a cheap car new. You'll burn it out in just 2 or 3 years. Factor that into the cost.I typically lease... so yeah, gotta figure in the extra mileage, or if I should buy instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I could walk to work if I HAD to. Not only does living so close save on gas, but I get to spend more time doing what I want in the evenings (working out, or eating food, or quality time with the g/f) + I can wake up at 7:45 and still be into work by 8AMIt's going to suck if I ever have to live more than 10mins away. I'm spoiled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler524 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 I used to have 150 miles round trip a day and that sucked. A bare minimum of 3hrs a day commute time if not longer. It took 2 1/2hrs to get to work one morning in the snow. I only did that for six months and wouldn't want to do it again... unless I was getting paid for the commute. I do have about 120 miles one way commute some days when I have to travel to our other plant north of Detroit but I get paid time to drive there plus 50 cents a mile.

Scruit Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 25 miles one way. 25 mins if I cage it on the freeway outside of rush hour, or 40 mins during rush hour.Whenever I can, I bike it. Going country roads instead the distance is the same, speeds are lower and I get there in 40 mins. But I actually look forward to the commute...

swingset Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 37.5 miles one way. Worth every fucking second of travel time to not live crammed up some yuppietwat's subdivision.Yeah, driving that distance can be a pain, but I can shoot on my property, ride single track, and the roads around here are good riding.Wouldn't trade it for the world.

TSB67 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Just as important is which way you're going. An hour to zone out and go 50 miles in no traffic beats the hell out of an hour of stress to go 25 miles in traffic. When I worked in downtown Cleveland I was as pissed off as I was going to be that day by the time I even got to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Mine is 30 each way but the bad part is I have to go through downtown cleveland! I work swing shift so it only sucks once every three weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 0 miles, 30 minutes.I get paid for everything beyond that and I'm using the company vehicle and gas. My personal 94 truck has less than 88k. Company vehicles FTW! Oh yeah, havent seen my boss since before Labor Day. I love my job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 14 miles one way.. man you guys that travel 30 plus miles are HARDCOREcompany paid truck and gas is absolutely worth it. Not to mention my job is cake and my salary is amazing for what I do some weeksJust as important is which way you're going. An hour to zone out and go 50 miles in no traffic beats the hell out of an hour of stress to go 25 miles in trafficx eleventy billion. My place is 47 miles from my work and 15 miles from my roommates office downtown yet it takes the exact same amount of time to get to our respective offices. With said perks above, I win hands down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
