How Far Do You Drive to Work?

[Bullaholic]

I have a whole eight blocks and 2 stop signs. Sometimes in Bridgeport "rush hour" it takes me an extra 2 minutes. :D

[Gobbla2001]

I take a right, drive four miles and take a left into the plant...

Do you ever get stopped by the train? :mad:

[Blastoderm55]

About 3 miles. Lots of lights though. Stupid Beeville lights at that.

[pirate4state]

4.2 miles round trip :D

[Adidas410s]

Left out of my complex...right onto Coit...south on 75 for 10 miles...woodall rogers for 1.5 miles...south on 35 for about 10 miles and then south on 67 for 19 miles...exit ward...take a right into the plant and follow the road about 1/2 mile to my office! :)

40 miles later...I'm there :)

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww.......I use to drive from PLANO to ARLINGTON when I first moved to the metro mess. :hairpunk: :hairpunk:

75 to LBJ to 121 to 360 :eek: :crazy1: sometimes for fun I'd go through the airport instead of around it :D

[Maroon87]

It's roughly 20 minutes right now, but my office is moving to the Woodlands this fall so unless I move too (which I will) it would be an hour one way.:eek: :doh:

Screw that. That's part of the reason I moved from Austin to Abilene. I used to drive about 15-20 miles to work and it would take at least an hour with traffic.

Now, since moving to Abilene, I drive less than a mile to work and it probably takes about 1-2 minutes. Much better.

The police stop the train and escort me to work, pickup up my white suits from the cleaners, and keep me supplied with cigars and anything else I need, Adidas. :D

[Gobbla2001]

I'm hoping one day to travel 1,000 miles to a gig... :D

[District303aPastPlayer]

45 minutes round trip

No wonder you're so crazy....That's pretty brutal---you pass thru the "belly" of the beast twice a day.

my route going home is different...it's 67 north to 35 north...past AAC :D and up the Tollway...exit Forest (before the tollway/635 bottleneck) and drive to my house! :)

You couldn't pay me enough to go up 75 in the afternoon. I made that mistake one day...never again! :(

[BILLYFRED0000]

Celina is out there but I work in Frisco so my drive is 17 miles one
way. Or 25 minutes with traffic. I drive a Jetta so I spend about
20 bucks a week on gas. Once I had a diesel rabbit and drove
225 miles a week to work. Got 50 to the gallon. Spent 50 bucks
month on diesel...... Those were the good old days. Well not really. I do remember getting mad when gas went up from 26 to 32 cents a gallon thinking how am I going to pay the extra cost.

12.2 miles one way.

I have a stop sign on my street and that's it... the speed limit is 40 when I pull out, 55 in about five seconds after pulling out and 70 another five seconds after that...

only bad thing is it's a regular two laner... when you have morning traffic headed out to the plant and 18-wheeler drivers who don't know which entrance to turn into it can really get annoying, but no real jams or anything... no lights... just a plant and a gas station...

This summer with TxDOT the furthest I had to drive was Vernon. Or maybe to Gainsville. The office where I get my truck is 3 minutes outside of town, but to get to a job, on my very first day, my boss just told me to get in a truck and go NORTH of Vernon. I didn't even know that was possible. I could smell the Oklahoma and the casinos. I was like: "Wow, they sure do trust me.":D
