Nashville is 4h, but that sounds like a bit too much.
4 hours twice a month? I’d do that, no problem (3 hours drive is my commute). That said, watch for the length of your day on the way home. For me, that’s the hardest part... trying to keep awake on the way home from a long day. On the way TO work is easier. Your likely tired when flying with another pilot that will help with your alertness. On the way home in your car, you’re tired by yourself.
That said, if I had a flight option, I use it as often as possible. I don’t drive the 3 hours of my commute often because flying is possible most of the time.
