I have been slugging 14 1/2 years full time (summer of 1988 from Potomac Mills). Has anyone been slugging longer? From where? Other long term slugs or drivers?

Just curious!

GREAT [:D]

Have you ever thought to figure out how much time and money you've saved?

My mother has been slugging since the HOV was only at Springfield so she can join you as a long-term slugger. [;)]

Actually, I did sit down with a calculator and estimated that I have slugged over 160,000 miles. Using a conservative estimate of 10 cents per mile I have saved $16,000. (Where is it?) Even at 5 cents per mile is is $8000. Alternatively, the bus would have cost me $22,400. (14 years times 1600 per yr)

I'm sure it's gone to road improvements -- in Martinsville, Roanoke, Charlottesville, etc. Only Richmond knows[:o)]

Bob,
Just for fun, use the following link to calculate your savings for a year. Then multiply that by your 14 years. I bet it will be more than 22,400!!
