I agree. We just drove up to Oakland from Santa Barbara for the weekend where the only other options of getting there are train, plane, and possibly bus (never looked into it). I'd love to take the train because I love being a passenger and think they are fun, but it is significantly more expensive with multiple people and it takes 8 hours where driving takes about 5. Plus once we get there, it is nice to have a way to get around.
