We're currently close, but below, the average annual income. I don't think we're close to the average net worth yet but are hopefully on our way. We have two Porsches that are our daily drivers for two 40 mile round trip commutes per day. Unfortunately, we live in an area where mass transit is not available to get us from our home to our places of work. While gas prices haven't dramatically changed our driving, we are trying to be responsible about avoiding completely frivolous driving.

I take a lot of subways so my " carbon footprint" is fairly small to start with. Gas prices suck, but I am originally from germany so I am used to much worse conditions. My car gets great gas mileage so my habits have not changed at all. I have a boxster and take it to the track for fun and will continue to do so for now. :-) My Porsche is my only car and I don’t drive it every day as I live in Lower Manhattan.

Long drive home, but you have the right car to do it in. No worries on the etiquette article. If you have the time and can get it to me before the 24th of June, that would be perfect. I’m going to be away for the week and I could use it then.

Talk soon.

I'm working up in Cleveland for the summer but I head back to Cincinnati on the weekends, so the carpooling I'm doing while I'm up here is almost completely offset by that 4 hour drive! I'm also really busy, so I'm sorry I haven't gotten on the etiquette article yet, but I'm getting there, I promise!
