The Joy of Car Pooling

Who does it here ? I have currently been car pooling with 2 other visible minority chaps and this is our 4th month of car pooling - and we each drive every third week in rotation.

Pros:

1) One's driving expenses (petrol and mileage) go significantly down.
2) You get to know the other person(s) very well.

Cons

1) You get to know the other person(s) very well....
2) The other pooler's car may not be in a road worthy state (eg bald tires, bad brakes, weird noises, no auto breakdown policy coverage)...
3) One guy talks non-stop about their homeland which in my opinion should be re-named 'Absurdistan'.....
4) You get to hear some animated conversations at 130 kph (esp where one of them is a vegan Hindu 'Om Shanti Om' type and the other is a pro-Hizbollah jihadist carnivore)....

Did you know that you can view the highway webcams and obtain current road condition reports for BC Highway routes at this website BC Highway Conditions Also when
traveling around BC you should also
apply to get an American Express Air Miles Card
which is accepted at the Coquihalla toll plaza on Highway 5, BC Ferries, Airlines, Trains, Bus and Hotels..:)
