Default Where I live sucks!

Where I live sucks! I'm driving to eastside tomorrow morning and it is a 2 hour drive! I'm 2hrs from eastside, 2hrs from NED and 2hrs from LVD. I don't think I could have picked a worse place to live!

i have to drive about 7 hours total tommorow just for work and that doesn't count during the workday itself. Does that make you feel better?

I'm just a bit over an hour from East Side if I'm not driving like a lunatic. But I'm farther away from each track than you are (although the drive to NED is just a straight shot up 95 for me, so even though it's long, it's easy.)

Still not really any better than you, though.

I recently realized I'm not that far from Dez Racing. It's about 40 miles if I'm not mistaken. Thought it was much farther before I actually checked.

I live 3 hours from NED ... depending on Boston traffic. About the same for LVD as well. and I live on an island with the crappiest roads in the country, with no room to drive or cruise because I am drowned by tourists. What I would give for a freshly paved road (not patch repairs)

That should make you feel better.

Ohhh come on. I am the same as you, but I don't have to go to Dez. It takes me 2hrs to LVD, 2hrs to NED and 1.5hrs to DEZ, but it's hard to dyno a AWD at DEZ. LOL. My commute is 1.5hrs one way to work also, so that should make you feel better also.

I'm an hour from Don's, 45 mins from NED, 2.75 hrs from LVD & I don't know where ESP is!

At least my job is only 3 miles away & take 8-15 mins depending on traffic!

Yeah but is it 2 hours of driving? No traffic I can get to work in 45 minutes, if I drive to work it takes 2.5 to 3 hrs. I dont mind driving far at all it's sitting in traffic that gets to me.

Its only 2hrs from Vermont to Wallingford? weird.

I'm 10 minutes from Don, 40 minutes from Dez, far away from ESP and about hour and a half from NED. 45-1 1/2 away from work depending on traffic and the time I leave.

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones when it comes to hanging out!

An hour and 50 mins this morning, I was running late...lol

I thought someone with a new Vette would like to drive it
I would like to drive it, but today I was bringing my dads Vette down, for a tuning and it was raining. If I were bringing my car down for work then it would be a blast! The next trip is on 6/6 with my car, that I will enjoy (btw, today it put down 440rwhp with a much better a/f) Thanks a lot to Ken & scott

I am drowned by tourists. What I would give for a freshly paved road (not patch repairs)
Roads up here are pretty good & once the Ski area's close, most of the tourists are gone until next fall.
