The mentioned Los Angeles - Las Vegas path would do as well.

That one's so easy to drive at nearly 80mph that I don't think
HSR would be near as popular as some think, especially to
Californians and Nevadans, who jsut love to drive long distances.
After all, by the time you've driven across the LA metro area to
get to the train you might as well keep on driving. Besides, you
ever try to do Las Vegas without a car?

Yeah; at least as of a few years ago, LV cab drivers provide not only
transportation, but also a hair-raising, adrenaline-pumping, multiple-G-force
experience you won't soon forget.

At Boston/Logan airport last Friday, I saw on a Delta departures/arrivals
screen this Windows error dialog in front of the grid of flights:

"At least one service failed to start..."

I took a photo of it. I thought:

"I'm glad I don't run Windows. I'm glad I'm not flying Delta today."
