before i wrote my car off last month, probally about two or three hours

Hell, out here in Wisconsin, I can't remember the last time I was stuck in traffic. Probably helps that I walk to work though. I think the only time we have traffice jams (besides in Milwuakee and Madison) is when Packer games let out and there are 65,000 drunks on the road at once.

Living in the traffic hellhole that is southern california, my commute is 2 hours a day but I take a vanpool so I just read, listen to music, and safely talk on my cell phone. Before that I would take the metrolink, so commuting is just more me-time for my hobbies rather than sitting in a car staring at some asshole's bumper stickers. Its a lot cheaper and faster than driving myself.

that was me

3 hours each day. Pittsburgh has two main tunnels that fucks everything up everyday. Some people do not understand the concept of maintaining a constant speed through the tunnel, or you get the occasional jagoff that drives hi/her beater into the tunnel only to have it stall. Sigh : (

My work commute was 30-45 minutes each way (6 miles to work).

In Germany, 1 mile, 2 minutes. Occasionally I slow down for a goat or a tractor in the road.

i used to spend about two to two and a half hours a day in the car when i had a girlfriend who lived 25 miles away that i visited everyday. it was especially bad because my car required premium gas. :) but now that i'm single and just working... i spend about half an hour to 45 minutes in my car.

I ride the bus. At least in your car you don't have 20 middle school kids screaming at the top of their lungs while you try and sleep... Also, I bet you listen to music. And I bet you don't have to wait outside in the rain for 20 minutes before you open your car door.

45 minutes one way, with normal traffic. stretch that to over an hour when the're is an accident or a little bit of rain. only alone time i get, so it ain't so bad.

I did it for the nookie, the nookie. Damn those girlfriends that live far away and never come to see the guys.

It's supposed to be a booty-call, not a booty-gram.

I am thinking of going but I heard the traffic is horrible

Other study finds that traffic jams are a good place to hook up. [link]

Home to work is about 10 minutes. unless there is some boner not paying attention and causing an accident. I used to live in southern california and the one-way time there was about 1 hour. Now I live in vegas and there is a phenomenal amount of californians moving here. it's rediculous the way these oblivious jagoffs drive thier cars. First there's the typical overweight black lady with the four inch long fingernails trying to do her make up while talking on her cell trying to make it to work. swerving to and fro( no pun intended). light turns green and she just sits there. then there's the late model chevy pick up all mexicaned out with the gay tires that stick 15 inches out the side of the truck and all the "accessorios" that are plastered all over the damned thing. oh, did i mention the eighteen " migrant workers" ( see Illegals aliens)holding on for dear life in the back?
I know i may sound like a douchbag for harping on california drivers seeing as how I used to live there, but I only lived there for 4 years when I was in the navy. Originally I'm from Florida and went to highschool in Maine. I've been all over the U.S. and one thing I've definitely made my mind up about is those damned California drivers.

I cant believe you said douchbag??????????????
Anyway you look at it traffic sucks.
I really hate when there is an accident or better yet someone changing their tire and everyone else has to slow down and take a look at whats going on possibly causing another accident.
There are alot of people out there who dont know how to drive.

do you know of ALT?

Drive... why not walk the 1 mile?

I used to live in northern CA, and had to move here to KY after a divorce, 'cause CA was too expensive for me. But, dammit, ya get what ya pay for. I detest this place, but I'm stuck here for now. These rednecks climb off the John Deere and slide behind the wheel of a Ford, and think it's the same deal...ARRGHH!!

that sucks donkey balls.

Fukyomama, that is no way to live your life my friend. You should move back to a medium sized city.

Where? Tallahassee? : ) Good luck next week with Ivan. Go NOLES!

its not a douchbaggy thing, I know exactly what you mean. Even so, there are things drivers do in other states that you would never see in california. Like stopping on a freeway onramp, what the hell is with that? I've seen this happen in florida, arizona, maryland, and a lot in georgia (most all the states ive ever visited so i will make the sweeping generalization of "other states"), where people get scared of the traffic moving faster than them and they stop at the very end of the merging point and wait for a big enough break in on-coming cars to then re-accelerate and get fully on. There must be like darwinian selection against this driving habit in california, because i've never seen it and you would die instantly trying to do that here.

Heh, and i'm driving my socal self to vegas tonight :D

for crying out loud, could have sworn i was signed in that time

what is traffic

Around 30 minutes a day, I take taxis.
