I would, but I'm afraid it would be just as boring and uneventful for all of you as it is for me...

Every weekday morning, for the last 7 years, I have dealt with NY bound traffic.

An 11-Mile commute takes 40 minutes if you leave 5 minutes too late! Was late for work quite often in the beginning.

Then I got the FR-S.

It seems... I will get up earlier JUST to avoid traffic JUST to drive the car in the manner it was meant to. AND on back roads

I've never been late for work since.

A1A? And yessir, I head down that direction daily.

I actually live on US1 in St. Augustine, so if I want to go anywhere in Jacksonville, I have to go on US1. -_-

This sounds similar to my commute except that it doesn't matter what time I leave because the commute is 50 to 70 minutes starting before 7am and ending past 10am. When I'm able to get into the carpool lane, it can take 40+ minutes to drive that 7 miles just to get to it. On the brightside, I get to enjoy an hour of chillin in the car and singing along with my favorite jams. I used to listen to NPR, but stopped when the Marathon Bombing happened.

My commute is 15 miles one way.
