    Smile He always arrives there in no time by car

    Is this sentence right "He always arrives there in no time by car"?
    If it is ok, what does it mean?
    Thanks a lot.

    It's exaggeration. It means it takes very little time. If you compare walking someplace to driving in a car, then it seems like the car gets you there "in no time."
