I was in Japan recently. I decided to take the Shinkansen one direction and an airplane back, thinking the rail would be slower but more relaxed while the plane would save me time. The train picked up right from downtown and dropped me off within five minutes of my hotel. Commuting to and from the airports added two hours to my trip. Security added another hour. And then the plane was delayed on the tarmac as they de-iced the wings.
In the end, I only saved 30 minutes on what was supposed to be a 4 hour reduction in travel time.
Now just imagine doing that shit in a car. Jesus fucking Christ.
It’s so much better. More room. Can get up to go to the bathroom easily. Interesting scenery along the way. Can buy a cheap meal at the station before getting on.
but I don't get to tail behind the driver in front of me and shoot at him and miss and hit some bystander driver's 5 month old child on the opposite side of the highway

I don't have to imagine. I once got suck on a 6 hour traffic jam on the Tomei Expressway. 6 hours to crawl 80kms before we tapped out.
