Seeing how I usually don't get above 40 mph going to work or back, I need to rely on something other than air flow to keep things cool. I could take a freeway in to work, but it's 4 miles longer each way and would end up costing me almost $20 a month more just in gas....

 

That does sound like a very impractical thing to do. I always hit at least 45 MPH or better on my way to work which is less than 2 miles away.

 

2 miles!! You lucky dog! I thought I was doing good living 5 miles away!!

 

And it's a fun 2 miles with 3 banked 90 degree curves followed by a nice 8/10ths of a mile straight away, this is where the street racers go to on friday and saturday nights to race and the gather just about a mile to a mile and a half in the other direction from where I live, so I know every time they go to race since they have to go past here to get there.

 

There are 14 stoplights (in 5 miles) on my way to and from work. I pretty much ignore them in the morning since I'm just about the only one out and about at that hour, but going home is a different story.....ugh!!!![:'(]

 

I don't have that kinda mess to go to work, nor do I waste gas going to work. I'm a farmer and so work at home. I drive for fun

 

My parents both came from farming families. Hard way to make a living...you have my respect....

 

I face a huge 0 stoplights on my way to work, just one stop sign is all.

 

What makes it worse is that none of them are sensor-based, they are all set on timers. You can be the only car on the road (which I usually am in the morning) and be sitting at a red light with no traffic for miles around.
And they wonder why traffic is bad......

 

For the longest time the Media Play I go to with it's traffic light was a pain in the a$$ due to the lack of a sensor. After a certain time in the evening, when I normally go because of the whole sunlight thing, your screwed since there is no traffic coming out of the mall across the street to trip the sensor. I had to go left to go home out of there and that is across traffic so you could be sitting there for hours before it would change. I had to turn against the light several times there before because it would not change. I have sat there for 15 minutes or better before I had found this out after a few trips there.[:@][:@]
