It's unfortunate that Denver is (relatively) isolated from so many other cities I end up traveling to, otherwise I'd definitely consider driving more often. When you're taking a week off for a vacation, adding days (or cutting in days) to deal with driving there, though, has a major impact vs the unpleasantness (but usual briefness) of dealing with the TSA (and other air travel problems).
On the other hand, I might think about it for our travel out to California next holiday season. The parents and in-laws are driving out to us a lot less often, and it would be a useful way to ferry some stuff back home. Worth consideration, esp. with the airlines and TSA providing such encouragement.

Mostly the latter.
