already exists.

let me explain:

I have to get to Highland Park, twenty or so miles away, and I normally take the light rails with a bus, and it takes an hour and a half. This itself is magical, as aside from it my feet would take hours and hours, perhaps an entire days journey like following the damned Mission trails to get there.

Now If I jump in a car, and take the freeway short cut up the 710 to the 5 to the 110 exist ave43leftrightleftstraight.... I suddenly find myself in Highland Park in 45 minutes or less. a straight fucking time machine, you can go from being late to early with no traffic....

further, say I want to get to Portland Oregon, which took me 36 hours on the train [well, it was stopped or delayed for 10 or so of those hours..], or will take you 18 hours of straight driving north on the 5, or you can jump on a southwest flight north for 150 bucks and be there in an hour and 15 minutes. when I took the train, I went through all my albums, when I took the plane, I got through the airport, on the plane, took off, landed, changed planes, took off, landed, got out of the airport 1200 miles from home and still had not even finished one Grateful Dead concert recording! straight fucking time travel.
