Z Commuters - How Far's Your Work from Home?

optiontrader · 07-18-2011, 03:18 PM

Just started a new job and the commute's not too bad - 30miles. It's only 40-45 minutes in traffic (turns out I'm driving the opposite way of congestion), but wanted to see what the spectrum is for Z driver's would daily their cars.

zero... weekend car status.

USMCASA · 07-18-2011, 03:30 PM

about 5 miles to work

lochness · 07-18-2011, 03:45 PM

If I take the Z to work it takes about 15 minutes, but I may do that once a week.

boris00 · 07-18-2011, 03:49 PM

35 miles each way.

leighspped · 07-18-2011, 04:09 PM

I had to check to be sure 29.2 miles but I sometimes take my audi.

Also I have KW3 and recaro seats so... Not a very fair comparison

You should do a poll with options in time instead of distance.

Because Mustang strategically placed several charburger stands along the roadway.

Weekend car for me. If I do I only live 3.5 miles from work.

I have a wonderful twisty commute. About 5 miles each way. No freeway involved. 6th gear is almost unused.

fullmonty · 07-18-2011, 05:45 PM

A little less than 2 miles. I don't have winter tires on my Z because I can walk to work in a snowstorm.

3SeventyZ · 07-18-2011, 06:04 PM

Around 25 miles.

ZzzZz · 07-18-2011, 06:43 PM

About 12 miles, 30 minutes.

Seat adjustment is the most important thing to feeling comfortable on daily drives...
