    I mean on average I drive anywhere from 100 to 400 mi a day for what I do for work. And then my trips that I take can average 8 to 10 hours or more. And those are done several times a month as well. I went from going absolutely nowhere because I didn’t own a car and I only relied on bus train and bike to doing about 60 to 70,000 mi a year.

      That’s a really extreme outlier case similar to why I still own my car, living in the American West and wanting a road trip vehicle. Hopefully you can find a job that doesn’t keep you sedentary for that long. A 400mi drive hurts like hell.

        No I could easily have a job like that, I run my own company and I have freedom to do whatever I want to now and it is so much better than when I was sitting in an office staring out a window all day long. That was a slow death. 400 mi for me is nothing it’s literally a day’s work. Hell even within the city that I live in there’s days like last Friday where I drove almost 400 miles in a single day.
