Your engine thanks you for getting it properly warm and burning off all that nasty condensation....

That's just a concept drawing.

It opened last July and there are far fewer cars on it than sown in the concepts.

I do 80 plus miles a day. 45 min to get to work in the morns, 60 min to get home but, I take back roads over the SC mountains to avoid traffic. Adds a little time but, my stress is relieved by the twisties;):D

I gladly do it for the benefits of where I live...:)

My wife literally has a 1 block commute to work, about 900 ft. She drives....

If I drive my 911 on a cold winter day it never gets up to temp on my commute. My El Camino gets up to full temp within 5 miles even on crazy cold days.

12 miles to my office. It takes 20-25 mins if I am out the door by 615am. After that it takes 40-60 mins.

Home is 30-40 mins if Ieave anytime after 4pm

I'm often out in the field though...I've driven almost 200 miles today. My 45 miles commute back tonight is taking about 2 hrs. Fridays are the worst.

8 miles, an about 15 minutes. Wouldn't want it any other way. Close enough to ride my bike on nice days too.

Icemaster 03-08-2013 04:20 PM

30 seconds. 90 if I stop off at the coffee maker.

About 100 miles/day. 50 mile commute. ~60 minutes in morning and 75 in evening. I don't like losing 2+ hours a day like this. Into my 3rd year.

Drbraunsr 03-08-2013 06:49 PM

72 miles, one way -- 1-1/2 hours. Mostly open desert. LA to Barstow.

Oh, I burn off all that condensation. Putt, putt along until it warms up a bit, but I am into the boost a bit by the time I get to the office.

You ought to buy her a golf cart.

Head416 03-08-2013 07:20 PM

2.4 miles. Can be almost 10 minutes if there's gridlock.

Oh My! My driveway is about 1300 ft!

I am guessing there are circumstances such as no pedestrian access? (Tell her the walk will make her legs look better;))

I had a fellow who worked for me a couple of decades back. drove about that far to work. He couldn't understand why his exhaust pipe rusted out so fast. :rolleyes:

That is murder on a vehicle.

Mine used to be about 38 miles each way. That could take anywhere from 45 minutes to nearly two hours depending on traffic, and it was all highway. An accident could cripple the highway system completely at any time and all you can do is inch along.

Now it is 2.3 miles and it is all on surface streets. I have to take the long way if I choose to drive the 911 just so she'll get to temp--but of course that's not a problem.

I did the long commute for nearly 9 years and it was seriously beginning to erode my sanity. I drove this particular stretch of highway a few weeks ago and the memories of all the time I wasted there starting flooding back. Never again!
