no kidding . . .
I preferred driving over flying, just because of the additional experience of the trip that you don't get from flying, ever since my first road trip when I was in high school. I'd still fly from time to time, though, when it was more convenient to do so than to drive -- such as when I flew from Florida to California, then rented a van and loaded it up with a bunch of stuff I had in storage there to drive it back to Florida.
As the TSA, and post-9/11 conditions in general, make it more and more of a hassle to fly, however, I become ever-more reluctant to use commercial airlines. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if I never fly a commercial airline again, unless either my point of departure or point of arrival is in another country. Transportation between US cities is just a heck of a lot easier when you do it on the ground rather than dealing with the TSA and other hassles of flying these days.
