I hate being in a car. I hate dealing with all the other people on the road. If you ride with me, you'll at least hear me dress down another driver for some boneheaded move once during the adventure.
I also hate being a passenger. I get car sick, so I have to look straight ahead. No phone, no sleeping. And since I'm looking straight on, I get nervous if you're more of a cavalier driver. I'm a phantom brake pedal-er.
We rode the train in Germany from Hamburg to Osnabrück and Osnabrück to Berlin. It was fantastic. We got there quicker than by car, there was no traffic, I got to read the entire time, and I drank a beer on the way back. Fantastic. Loved it.
Same riding the train from Chicago to St. Louis. Beer, microwave pizza, tons of Switch, and all of a sudden, I was in Chicago.
I just want to ride a train or light rail everywhere.
