no form of transportation is perfect. perhaps you like sitting in bumper to bumper traffic while burning through $3.00 gallon gas like it was water. I don't like that idea. I do like the idea of boarding a 300 MPH high speed train and being whisked to my destination minus traffic jams, jerk drivers who tail gate me while honking their horn and giving me the finger. in reality, I'd miss all that like a hole in the head. and, I used to really love to drive a car. no more, today's jerk-off self-serving drivers have ruined the experience. driving today is an exercise in self-survival, there is little to no fun in it at all.

years back, I knew a pilot for Continental airlines who flew out of Dallas. I asked him what was it he really enjoyed about his job. he said what he really liked was looking down from the plane and seeing all of the Dallas whack drivers sitting in a traffic jam while he was flying the plane on up to 30,000 feet! I thought, yeah, that must be nice knowing the morons are on the ground while you are in the air BYPASSING the idiots.
