No. But with the price of gas............ Even I'm skipping my trip to go skiing this week. Nearly 600 miles when it's all said-and-done, barely 20MPG (U.S. gallons!), and nearly $4.00 per ethanol-laced 91 octane gallon = $120/trip just in fuel. My season pass was only $319, and I've gotten 20 days in already. I can quit nor for the season and be ahead!

Bonkers? Not if you took the back way instead of the direct route.

You are indeed "bonkers" my good man, our kind of bonkers.... Welcome to the club I'm condiering a 30 mile round trip right now, to walk the dog, then back to work, just so I have more seat time in the car with the new suspension. Bonkers!!!

Hmmm....personal preference but the only "bonkers" thing I can think of is that with a distance of 20mi I'd think you might do better than Starbuck on the coffee front. :-)
