I worked in Downtown toronto for over a year- drove from Buffalo to TO everyday, and back.  
almost exactly 100 miles each way, and yet, it was only 9 turns to where I worked from my house.

thank god for TDi and 50 mpg…

I voted the lightspeed one…but that’s only because the clocks at work have been ten minutes slow. So depending on weather/traffic, my drive is usually about 2-3 minutes.

On a “normal” day in my cavilier, including a Starbucks stop, like 25-30 minutes depending on traffic, lights, and weather to get there; home is like 20-25.

I’ve done it another route in just under 11 minutes with the Firebird during the past summer.

This is from near the William St & 90 to behind the Post office in East Aurora…

I live on the south end of Aurora and only go to the north edge of Springville which makes my trip a little shorter.

Which road is bad Springville Boston Road or Genesee?  
240 south of Genesee was terrible last year.
