In the early 2000’s I had a job in Woodbridge and commuted daily - 85 miles each way - brutal. Books on CD were my salvation. Train wasn’t really a viable option then; curious if it’d be better now. That year I put 40K miles on my car.

Luckily right now I only go up Thursday morning, stay with family, and come back Fridays. But have still managed to put 17k on my car in 10 months! I listen to a lot of podcasts and audio books and don’t mind the drive too much. I can usually get to merrifield in 1 hour 45, though Friday evening drive back can take two to three hours. Hoping to maybe train it once or twice a month to save some mileage!

On a good, no-traffic, no-cops day, I could get there in 65 minutes. I don’t want to talk about the bad days.
