Do you have a functioning mirror on the passenger side? Bad mirrors would make me want to be closer.

I've driven 47 miles each way (an hour) for the last 8-9 years. I like the time to prep/unwind. Weather is a bitch though as I stayed in a hotel 12 miles from home 10 days ago because I couldn't make it home. my 3 vehicles have a combined mileage of about 700K. I wouldn't want to live any further out but I lived in the city for 15 years and hated it worse.

I drive 30 minutes each way and the girlfriend drives an hour each way! We live in Phoenix Metro and moved here for my job which originally was a 15 minute commute. She took the first job she could get accepted for, to get more money rolling in but I feel horrible that she has that commute each day. I then switched jobs for an increase in pay and added 15 minutes each way on to my commute. When our renting lease is up (june) we plan on relocating to an area that would make each of our commute 30 mins each way. Not much around driving that much as we work in opposite parts of the city. At least here you don't have to worry about weather messing up your commute times.

I used to drive about 50 minutes each way, commuting from Ft. Collins, CO up to Cheyenne, WY. Luckily, I had a carpool of 4-5 people who worked at the same place. Those rides were sometimes a little hairy in the winter, though.

I haven't had more than a 15-20 min. to work in years and wouldn't want to exceed that.

50 min carpool each way with 4-5 people? That sounds miserable and depressing.

Most of us hung out on the weekends some as well, whether at the bars or climbing, fishing, or snowboarding.

I found the place I love and make the thirty minutes drive from there to work every day. It's worth it. But any more would be too much

I did St. Joseph to Overland Park for 6 months and it wore on me quick.
Now I live 1 mile from work and I absolutely love it. I save on gas and lunch money. If you factor out sleeping... you spend more time at work and in your car than enjoying your actual home. |

An hour drive isn't so bad if it's not in heavy traffic. It's better in the morning... actually kind of gives you a chance to relax, drink some coffee, listen to the radio, prepare for the day. Heading home is a different story.
