I’ve spent most of my adult life trying to figure out how to avoid the stereotypical “American Way” and its 9-5 work hours. I don’t function efficiently during those hours, no matter how much I am paid or how much I convince myself I can, it just doesn’t happen. Instead, my “commute” has been altered to fit my own ever-changing schedule and means of transportation, whether it be my skateboard or BMX bike.

Today, however, one of my favorite racecar drivers has completely ruined my idea of the perfect morning commute with this video. Never again will I be happy with lackadaisically meandering to the corner coffee spot …ok well, maybe sometimes, but Patrick Long, Porsche factory driver of my favorite race team, Flying Lizard Motor Sports has a pretty kick-ass “commute” to deal with, almost makes me jealous, even if the coffee gets cold. I’ll be making coffee at Laguna Seca this weekend, however, just like I have been for American Le Mans events for the last ten years or so, and the coffee… it won’t be cold. Go Lizards!
