President Obama unveiled a new, six-year, $53-billion
project to furnish the U.S. with high-speed trains capable of crisscrossing the country at 250mph. If the plan comes to fruition, your game might not need to rewind, it might require a total rewrite. We've compared the current drive times (based on Google Maps estimates) between 20 U.S. cities and the time it would take to get between those spots via a really fucking fast moving train. Sure, this is all pie in the sky right now (and let's be honest, that Bourbon Street to South Beach connection prolly ain't happening—although it would be dope if it did), but just in case, here are the new time tables your mack game might need to accommodate.
