Saw a recent show of Mythbusters where they challenged the myth that it was quicker to drive from S.F. to L.A. than to fly. The guy flying beat the driving team by 7 minutes.

Mythbusters is right. Flying is faster. But for some of us, it's a matter of comfort. Often comfort and less hassle in general is more important than speed.

I don’t believe that result. Every single time I go through LA my flights are ALWAYS delayed significantly.

The drivers probably got hung up in a seat belt check.
