I am a person that likes to take airplane instead of driving for anything over 3-4 hours. This was a 13 hour trip and I loved every minute of it. Driving in the new car and going through some WV mountains was awesome!
Same destination and general feeling about driving vs flying, but flew to Boston this summer to buy my F80 and drove it back over 2 days. It was awesome as I met with friends in NYC and outside DC as part of the trip so it was totally worth it.

I could have shipped it for about the same price, due to a hookup at a dealer here, but chose to fly on JetBlue and drive it back and do not regret enjoying the time alone in the car.
