Thread: How do you commute to work?

  1. #1

    How do you commute to work?

    I have seen a couple Porsche 918s pop up at weekend gatherings.....and a GT4...but always driven a short distance by the local dealership... But today, I saw this guy on the 405 freeway in Los Angeles, in bumper to bumper rush hour traffic... Is he commuting in this?

    Me? some times i will drag my feed to work, sometimes i saunter, sometimes i'll stroll, sometimes ill meander.. i dont think i have ever sashayed to the office. I once wanted to ride my bike to work, but my wife put the nix on that. Having my office in the spare bedroom and telecommuting can be nice. sometimes lonely. but mostly nice.

    Sashaying is over-rated.... You're not missing anything.

    No more nice cars (let alone Porsches) after I once saw a homeless guy use my front bumper as elbow support to drop #2 on the street in front of my car... That's not Mogadishu, mind you, that's San Francisco!
    For the record it's very hard to leave a tight parking spot while avoiding squishing steaming human waste on your tires, when it is located right under your license plate - but I managed ! Shortly after (plus a bumper scraped and a ding) I sold the nice car and got an old Mini Cooper S beater... I'm on my second set of bumper trim already ! Not everyone is lucky with work parking ;-)
