For three years, I commuted from Oak Harbor to Blaine, WA. 140 miles round trip. The last year that I did it, I was in a three way ride-share for three months, then a two way ride-share for three months, then the final six months by myself and still, I put 30,000 miles on my 1982 300TD! There was usually little traffic, so it wasn't too bad, but I tired of the drive, especially in the final year.
Now, my commute is 3.5 miles door to door, my 85 300SD barely has time to warm up!
Merry Christmas
