I'd take trains for long trips, but no way could I get by without a car. How would I carry our family's crap to the beach, camp, lake? How would I get 15 sacks of groceries home? Forget hitting the hardware story for much of anything.

OTOH, I'd love to hop a train and roll to New Orleans or Mobile for a day trip.
