This why I drive anything less than 2500 miles. That's two days of driving and I get to see the country. Flying would take a whole day anyway, and then I'd have to get a rental car on the other end anyway. Plus it's difficult to find a decent lifted 4wd rental, and I usually travel to spend time in the mountains on unimproved roads and hiking and camping. Probably similar carbon footprint to flying anyway.
