Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

I also used to commute 120+ miles round trip. Pittsburg to a little south of SFO every day takes a toll on quality of life. Plus I was using an Xterra so gas was burning a hole in my pocket not to mention Fastrak. Glad to work on the other side of the bridge so I won't have to pay for the shitty toll hike coming up over the next few years.

 

You people are/were crazy! I'm at 25 miles one way, but at 80mph for most of that, I'm looking at under 30 minutes.

 

18 mile round trip commute for the last 3 years ... now 120-150

Hopefully only for 2 years

I'm 19 miles one way but it still takes about 40 minutes to 1 hour to get there.

 

That's a lot of mods...but those tires are bleh

I was looking at the Honda clarity EV, it's range is weak (80~100 miles) but supposably charges really fast. Advertised as 80% in 30min. And when I was looking it was super cheap to lease.

 

$200 a month lease on an i3 BMW is a good option...

 

20 Miles here at 65+mph

 

11 miles one way...17-18 minutes.

 

I used to commute 4.6 miles (10 minutes), but prefer living up in the mountains, so I have a longer commute.

 

I live in town and work in the sticks... So I “commute”

 

I’m sooooo glad I have a Co. truck and don’t pay for gas. I drive about 150 miles a day

Just the opposite for me.

As you know, my current daily driver is a 07 Prius and I love it for commuting only. Otherwise I hate that piece of you know what. I think what most of the people forget about commuter car is its fun factor. Prius is not fun to drive at all, but it is good on gas mileage. I have had bad luck with hybrids lately. Out of 4 hybrid cars that we own, at least 2 had to get batteries replaced. Luckily my Prius was covered under warranty, otherwise it was about 5K bill. For my wife's GS450h we ended up paying around 3K for used batteries. Both cars were under 100K miles. If you ever buy hybrid or EV make sure to get a new one and sell before the battery warranty expires. In my opinion EV are good for people who have limited commute and know exactly how many miles they be driving. For people like me who's commute is not same everyday, EV is not a very good option. Couple of my friends had to get their Leaf's towed because range indicator showed higher millage left than actually distance it was able to go. If you use AC/heater or other electronics, range comes down drastically.
