“Schade, dass man nach Amerika nicht fahren kann” probably means “what a pity that a man can not drive to America.” At first, I thought that it meant “what a pity that a man can not travel to Americal” which does not make sense, because a man can travel to America by an airplane. The important verb word here is “fahren” which means “travel.” Then, I realized that the “fahren” word could mean “drive” as well. Then, it made sense to me.
