My commute from Bristow to Manassas is terrible. If I don't catch the lights right sometimes it doubles in time!!

Mike, seriously, the time it takes you to go from Bristow to your office is the same amount of time it takes for me to hit the FIRST LIGHT of many on my way in to work....

I just moved to Hawaii and decided to live in town for the first 6 months. Everyone is like "OMG theres so much traffic down there". I just laugh b/c the most traffic I've seen is 20 minutes worth... if they only knew! haha

are you serious(hope not)! you are complaining about driving from Bristow(a made up community name) to man*******? Come on a real commute is anything involving the toll road, 66, 495, Rt 50 Coming form the burbs into the city or anywhere near it! You got it good if catching a red light is your only worry
