Waits for the its safer to fly than drive brigade.

I'd rather go out with my hands on the wheel

Aren't you Mr. "Travel, travel, travel"? :comeon:
There are only so many places you can reach by car. There are only so many places you can visit in a lifetime you keep choosing the 18 hour drive vs. the 3 hour flight.
