You should get one of those smart cars that're all the rage in places where large trucks/SUV's evidently don't exist. 

Either that, or that Toyotamabob Cruiser.  That'd be a nice drive then, no?

shmokes:
Yeah, because an SUV is the ideal vehicle to drive 130 miles a day in.    :laugh2:





edit: I just looked it up.  It's only 33 miles.  That's still quite a daily commute.  :)  Maybe by Tri-Rail/MetroRail it wouldn't be so bad (apparently the thing has a stop right on the University's campus).  How much do rail passes cost, Tommy?   :)

edit 2:  Nevermind.  I'd be looking at $80/mo. for the Tri-Rail pass and $56/mo. for the MetroRail pass.  All this for the luxury of it taking me an hour or more to get to and from school.  I did spend a night in Ft. Lauderdale once and what I saw of the city (which was pretty much confined to just a single street along the ocean) was very nice.

patrickl:
Maybe you save more than $80 on the monthly rent if you live in Ft Lauderdale instead of Miami.

I went (on vacation) to both Miami and Ft Lauderdale and I have to agree that the latter was much nicer. I couldn't stand the heat in the whole of Florida though.

Gun license background checks include a scan of who your spouse is in a lot of states.  It does matter.

What will it cost you every month for gas if you drive to school everyday?  Do you have to pay for parking once you get there?  These factors may make the $80 or $56 cheaper than driving.
