Sorry to hear neighbour. If it's any consolation, on some of your highways, you can go hella fast.

In Switzerland we don't even have high-speed rail. We have at best pendular high-speedish trains but they are quite neat. We do pay a steep price for it but it beats being required to drive everywhere US-like (minus some exceptions).

Yeah, your highways are not great. But I don't really like to drive, so I'd prefer you trains. :) What use are high speed trains, if they are 2 hours late?
