I would think some sort of time travel/portal would be useful. Get a flat and just go back a few minutes and swerve around the odject that gave you the flat.
For commuting, instead of the normal grind of riding to work and back. A person could travel to a national/scenic park and ride for an hour or so, then travel back to work/home.
Or a money tree, yea a money tree would sure make any delay a little more enjoyable. 😘😘🎄🎄
