On trips shorter than 100 miles I can beat the plane with the Audi. Longer
trips the plane does much better. I also don't risk getting a speeding
ticket with the Navion.

Very true, although the only island I typically fly to is more than 100
miles away. The runway takes up about half the island and the ladies
who run the island tour golf carts said "we don't understand, people
just fly in, have lunch and leave. We don't know why they do that". We
responded with "because we can". That seemed to make sense to them.
