[spanone]

this is one drivin' mo-fo....

[itsrobert]

1. The cat houses in Jersey are long trips

puts a lot of mileage on the truck.

[jobwithout]

2. and?

[spanone]

7. that's about 40,000 a year...lot's of travelin' for an attorney...for anyone

[LaPera]

8. Right, I do about 50K in my truck does that make me qualified to be a Senator?

Alright! Where do I sign up?

[spanone]

9. you don't want that job....no matter how far you drive

[LynneSin]

10. If Scott Brown is senator that makes everyone qualified to be senator

Think about it!

[blm]

19. EXACTLY!

.

[anigbrowl]

15. for anyone, yeah (depending on where they live) but why an attorney?

sure, some attorneys just sit in their offices and clients come to them. But others often drive to client conferences, or carry out investigative work as part of their practice.

not sticking up for Brown, I'm just not sure what you see as significant here.

[tallahasseedem]

3. Um...

so?

[spanone]

5. so

[bbinacan]

4. Did he buy it new or used? n/t

[spanone]

6. it's a 2005. just a lot of miles to drive for anyone...

[ejpoeta]

11. not really. it depends how far away from work they are

[spanone]

18. that's a lot of mileage for a lawyer, they don't normally commute too far..

[ejpoeta]

23. i think my sister may disagree with you. she drives a lot.

i don't know if she is still doing it, but as a child advocate she had to drive all over the place meeting with kids. probably as public defender too when she was doing that.

[joeybee12]

20. Especially Massachusetts or any New Engalnd state...the distances

just aren't that far.

[HipChick]

12. Wasn't it just a prop..since he has several cars...several properties

why people fall for the I-am-just-like-you-because-I- Insert <drive-a-truck><PTA hockey mum> is beyond me

[Dave From Canada]

13. Nope, it's his only car. n/t

[spanone]

17. he actually took it to d.c. ....fell for nothing

[Abq_Sarah]

14. I put 48K

On my jeep last year.

That's about an average year for me.

[Dappleganger]

16. I'll bet his pinup pic...

has a few more miles than that.

[NaturalHigh]

21. Not really that unusual, in my experience.

Most of my relatives easily match that with their trucks.

[Llewlladdwr]

22. I'm not seeing the problem.

That's roughly a hundred to a hundred-twenty miles a day. Not really all that hard to do.

[laughingliberal]

24. Lightweight. I drove between 50,000 and 100,000 a year as a hospice nurse. nt
