Never enough!!!!!
Used to drive about 22 miles to work one way, and everytime I know I can drive my C5 because of the nice weather, I get excited 
, but after a while 22 miles seems so short, it seems like I get to work to fast. Permagrin seemed to have been cut short . Just got worse because work is closer now. Only about 8 miles.Anybody else feel this?

I DO understand your feelings, however, I don't go to work any more - so stuck with just riding every pretty day and enjoying the hell out of it! Hmmmm - gonna be nice (mid-60's) here today - think I'll take a ride!!

You drive your car to work how dare you put 8 miles on your car each way everyday the weather is nice 
your car should sit in the garage and must maintain low mileage 
flip switch- turn off the Garage queen mentality.
Sorry don't know what I was think.
I drive mine everyday when I am at home not working of the road, always a joy to drive the car.
You should see the reactions of the kids when I pick-up my GF daughter from school. I always seem to get a parking spot right up front where everyone can see the car

You got it all wrong. I only drive it on nice days in the "winter"(Dr. Evil voice) and 2 or 3 times a week in the Spring/Summer/Fall. My car is semi-garage queen 3 1/2 y/o with high 12K miles, so about 4K miles a year. The only advantage of driving 8 miles one way or 16 miles round trip is even if I drive it 4 times a week ( number of days I work), I only rack up about 64 miles a week or 256 miles in 4 weeks or 3328 miles in 52 weeks or 1 year. , but 8 miles is a penny less and a dollar short. I want more permagrin

You need to start taking the scenic route to work each day. Surely if you look at a map you can find some less traveled roads to travel.

When I drive the Vette to work, I take the quick route in the Morn, with just one stop light. on the way home, it is the route with lots of stop lights. Oh yeah, it is a 37 mile drive each way.

,for those who live in my area is not exactly a scenic route but it has a 50 mph speed limit, if there are no semi's or if it is around midnight, I can open her up a bit. Permagrin achieve for about 3 or 4 mins only. 
See my smilies are conflicting, it is the effect of not having enough permagrin.

I'm the town next to you and I know what you are saying....I go up I55 and then up 355 for a 25 mile trip each way...I drive the Vette whenever there isn't snow on the ground and love it.....although supposed to snow today so no Vette
