I just don't want to sit in a little metal box for that long.

For an internal flight I think it's only an hour in advance. When I went on the Ilford factory tour last year I flew from Southampton to Manchester in just over an hour. If I was driving (which I wouldn't be) it would probably have taken about six hours to get there and probably even longer to get home at the end of the day on a Friday.
I have done Manchester by train. This takes five hours but is still quicker than you can drive it.
As far as I am concerned, cars are for medium distances. Long distances should be done on public transport and short distances should be walked or cycled.
