I love that highlander did a regression analysis before purchasing a vehicle. So nerdy!
To me it seemed that the purpose of the trip was to get views on YouTube. Pulling the stunt and doing the report were just means to that end that made for a compelling narrative for the target audience and enough creative reward to avoid having one's soul leak out one's ears from making another 'prank' video (or whatever cannibalizes views these days)
What is clear to me from this discussion is that costs and value differ so wildly person-to-person that broad statements on which is better will never be close to correct. The only thing we seen to be able to say with certainty is that driving can be unpleasant, the trains are slow and infrequent, and that the air fare is a lot of money.
And, really, that's about the same as saying that water is wet.
