What is the farthest you've traveled to see/buy a car?

August of 2012 I flew from Southern California out to New Hamsphire to pick up one of the new 427 Corvette convertibles. I drove that sucker back home across the country stopping in Overland Kansas for 5 days to take a photography class. Had dinner with Ed and Mary while I was there, met lots of great people!

Coming back through Arizona on old route 66 I caught up to a long freight train that was doing 70 mph. We were about 100 feet apart and waved at each other. Suddenly that train takes off like a bullet! I drop a gear and we were doing 90 mph laughing our asses off. Never raced a train before. I was amazed at the acceleration of that train. We pulled in to the town of Hackberry where I stopped to photograph some old cars and the train kept on going. Great memories of a cross country trip!

About an hour, 40-50 miles. I've entertained farther, but never found one I couldn't find closer.

ive gone from Houston to the other side of Baton Rouge a couple times for vehicles which I knew the story on them but had a truck and trailer to haul them home, that was round a 5 hour drive

I also drove from Houston to Stephville to buy a truck site unseen, no clue if it was driveable, I was told it was, drove with my dad, bought the truck for $500, drove back to houston (another 5 hour drive) after 2 stops, 1 for gas, 1 at the local walmart to change the oil and air up the tires. didnt miss a beat driving home and got 24 mpg

Drove to the east side of Columbus Ohio from Anderson (NE of Indy). Went to look at a Vette. As we left empty trailer in tow, my buddy said "I wondered if you wanted that much project".

went from Des Moines,Ia to some little town in Arkansas to get a 69 Austin America that my buddy Jason bought off craigslist, got to be close to or more than 10 years ago...

I think gas and food cost more than the car did....

In 2000, I drove 60 miles from Wooster to Chardon [Ohio] to see a '79 Pontiac Phoenix hatchback [with an Olds 403] for $700. Wife [at the time] wanted a Nova or clone. The car was butchered to hell. I told her I didnt even want to drive it! Oh well, we visited some friends in the area and went back home.

I drove from LA to Pahrump Nevada to buy my Caprice wagon, then drove it home. My wife would not let me stop at the Chicken Ranch /:
