[HavaSkank]

A typical day in the field for me averages 220 miles, usually 4 days a week.
I spend an average of 5 hours in traffic daily. Can you now understand where my cynical, crass, contemptibleand vulgar personality stems from?

Road head hooker? :D

[socalmoney]

50 miles each way for 8 years. It's starting to wear on me.

[Devilman]

84 miles round trip, 6 days a week. Did that for about 5 years. Bought a house recently, closer to work & chopped the drive down to about 35 miles round trip. Sho has been nice too.....:D

[R.A.D.man]

5 mile round trip through a neighborhood to the office. Never have to hit the highway. I bought this house 3 years ago to end my daily 60 mile roundtrip. Right after that, gas started to go up, one of the best decisions I ever made.:D
Worst decision ever - joining ***boat:jawdrop:

[HavaSkank]

Road head hooker? :D
Im a tenured hooker. The only time I've had off work was during that bad case of TMJ. It's difficult to perform a decent hummer with the jaw wired shut.
It's a good thing I have really big man-hands.

Yeah, this totally explains a lot... :D :D

[lalhc]

50' one way from my bedroom to my office :D

[Ziggy]

6.8 miles one way, 13.6 round trip plus a .2 detour for a decent carne asada burrito...:D

[skyskier]

50 miles each way for 8 years. It's starting to wear on me.
Soooooooo What EXACTLY were you an all the 1,000's of others that left the OC 8 years ago thinking? the 91 was going to open up 16 lanes each way?

[HavaSkank]

I am singlehandedly responsible for the depleting ozone levels and pending doom that is global warming....
But I blow Al Gore on the side, so the two cancel out each other.

[thatguy]

1160 miles. From house to Rig. 4 weeks on, 2 weeks off. During 4 weeks on it is 65 miles a day R/T, from 5th wheel trailer to rig.

[HOOTER SLED-]

45 miles one way.:mad:

[OGShocker]

28.7 via I-10.

[Opinionated]

Murrieta to Fullerton 5 days a week. 126 miles round trip and half of it is on the 91 :( . I cuss every 500' or so!!!

[ultra27jay]

81 miles each way. from northridge to aliso viejo. what fun.

[hkunz]

Used to be 110 miles each way, Moreno Valley to Coronado, every day. Then I transfered to a ship at 32nd St, so it was only 105 miles each way every day, but when the ship got underway, it was less than 867 feet, and the only gas I burned was from the beans at dinner.
During that time I discoverd that Chrysler products' cruise controls only go to 86 MPH, making them effectively useless for flying low on the I-15. Toyota Avalon cruise control, however, will allow you to set it at 105.
Now, it's about 50 feet, and I often work in my underwear or pajamas, depending upon the time of year.

[Havasu1986]

13.5 miles..Yorba Linda :) to La Habra:( Imperial Highway mostly.

[HocusPocus]

i don't have to leave the house to work.. just drive the kids to and from school, so its like 5 miles round trip.
the wife works about 2 miles from the house and still gets a company truck.

[yopengo]

Old commute to San Clemente 25 mi each way. Two years ago I built a 350 sf office in our home. Now it’s a sixteen step commute. Best thing I ever did. :D

[Captain Dan]

6 miles each way, no freeways :)

[Stoneman]

Commuted 200 miles a day for 20 yrs. Now my commute is 10ft. 2 days a week!:)

[rocket98]

Right now It's 84 mi. r/t from Gilbert to the ghetto

[socalmoney]

Soooooooo What EXACTLY were you an all the 1,000's of others that left the OC 8 years ago thinking? the 91 was going to open up 16 lanes each way?
I don't drive the 91. Never have, never will. That road will kill you. I take Ortega. I used to live in Costa Mesa on the west side. Rented a nice two bedroom with a buddy. I drove from CM to Long Beach for work. Cherry exit to be exact. It took me 45 minute on average to get to work and to get home. I only drove like 20 miles. Got hitched and moved to Murrieta to live as an owner. Got a better paying job in Aliso Viejo and my commute was extended to 55 minutes. Albeit, I now drove 50 miles instead of 20 but I only added 10 minutes to my drive. I actually really like the drive on Ortega. It is beautiful driving amongst all the old oak trees and such. Traffic moves at a steady 50-55 mph and I don't have to deal with the stop and go. I really don't think I gave up too much to make the move.
These days it takes me a bit longer to get to work/home. The construction on the 74 has increased my commute to about 90 minutes. Still better than the 91. I don't mind being in the car that long, but I would rather have that time to go to the gym or something. All in all I don't regret my move to Murrieta. In fact, every time I spend time in OC outside of work, I am glad I don't live there anymore. It is getting hard to find people who speak English in the OC.

[Tom Brown]

2.5 miles each way. The drive isn't what most would consider a freeway. It is, however, paved.
Sometimes I walk it.
At this rate, I'm putting about $30/month into the tank. Of course, that includes weekend trips to the lake.

[Bradman]

[Flyinbowtie]

That guy that is doing the 3000 square foot house tax deal is probably eyeing all of you folks that create too large a "Car-bon" footprint by engaging in excessive commuting, too.
Good luck if you commute back and forth from a 3000 square foot house.
You're gonna qualify for the double-whammy...

[barbigrl]

PCH/Warner in HB to PCH/Anahiem in Long Beach......Life is good! :D

[Cole Trickle]

PCH/Warner in HB to PCH/Anahiem in Long Beach......Life is good! :D

[squirt'nmyload]

ummmmm....i thought there was 7 days in a week :D :D

[dragboat]

Im a tenured hooker. The only time I've had off work was during that bad case of TMJ. It's difficult to perform a decent hummer with the jaw wired shut.

LMOA!:D lucky wants you (heard he was going strait!):eek: :eek:

[mxbundy]

Live in Corona, before that was Orange.
I put about 40 to 60 thousand a year on my work truck.
Was the same at either place.
My job site could be in San Diego one day and Bakersfield the next!:mad:

[boat boy]

Terrible drive, 7 miles one way 12 min. up one canyon and down another. Have to deal with quail, dove, ocasional deer, maybe a loose horse. If I see one car one the way to work thats a traffic jam. Coming home if I have two cars in front of me that's a traffic jam.
When apple season comes, then the flatlanders show up and the drive turns into a 20 min plus commute. Still a terrible drive. LOL.

[Cigalert]

26 miles each way 6 days a week. I live 1 mile from the 241 and work is 1/4 mile from the 22 fwy. All freeway...no traffic. Leave the house daily at 3:30 am. Last saturday I got to work in 16 minutes while averaging 23.6 mpg.

[sorry dog]

Moved and got it down to about 6 round trip. :) But I do live in the sticks now! :jawdrop:
Coonasses won't even live where you do.
I think JBB likes the commute... The Atlanta 285 in Ranger...gots to be fun.

[a catered life]

64-67 miles one way...that might seem long but the fact that me and my gf work for the same company and work the same hours helps...it like getting two checks and filling one tank:D

[dragboat]

Exactly three miles one way..... oh and one stop sign.

[RiverOtter]

It was under 3 miles, then I thought I wanted a huge house in the burbs (note to self.... huge house in the burbs sux) and now my commute is 15 miles :mad:
