Agreed. Were you going between EWR/JFK and BOS, would you ever consider training it? I'm not opposed to flying, but you can see more when driving or training it.
Out here we have long stretches of highway where the population density is low, so it isn't uncommon to see people going 90 mph+, say on I-5 between the bay area and LA; is it correct that such speeds are less common on the east coast?
