I forgot to add - the majority of the drive  is on a Toll road, with about 3-4 tolls each way, I have the E-pass so I don't slow down... but shit its still money lol


Whatever..... I applied, it'd be a good opportunity.... doubt i'll get it it, its pretty competitive.... but would be one hell of a position!



Tolls are bullshit.  You get already get taxed on income and on purchases.  Tell 'em you'll take the job but you're not paying any damn tolls to get there.  They'll respect you as a man of principle for it.

Terrified eggheads!

On second thought I'd go for the "We're all victims of this toll conspiracy, my brothers!" approach.  And give 'em some HELL NO WE WONT TOLL buttons.  You'll have 'em eating out of your hand.

Had a friend who commuted from San Francisco to Los Angeles 3 - 4 times each week. About a 70 min flight each way. And then a 40 min. drive home.

What a fool!  he could have rented a room in LA for $500 a month.

Does it really suck?  Do you absolutely hate it? 

Day in and day out, whats it like?

I did that a couple of years ago, spent $350 a month on gas and my car was in the shop bi-monthly.  Never again!
