I rarely drive long distances in a car...as, for example, from
Maryland to Florida. I have better things to do with my time than
waste two days on the interstate.



Ah, but with a BMW you could make that trip in about 16 hours.

I've made it in 12. But I don't like doing it that way, and neither does
my wife. There are a few places way off the highway we stop for meals,
and a few motels we've come to rely on over the years.

We drive down to Florida about once every other year and fly the rest of
the time. We stop about halfway and then get an early start the next
morning.

Spending 12-16 hours driving a car...that was fun when I was in my early
20's...not now.

Once again, I can drive to BWI Airport in under an hour, waste an hour
at the airport, and then get down to Florida in two hours. That's four
hours versus 12-16 hours. There's nothing about driving the distance
that competes with that.

To me, my time is valuable. Wasting it driving south on the ugly,
dangerous Interstate is a waste of my time.

To each his own.



Judging by the amount of time you Waste here, your time doesn't seem to
be worth much at all.
