how far have you driven to buy a car? Reply #16 – July 25, 2007, 04:41:45 AM Back about '91,'92, I was going to fly to California from Atlanta and drive my great aunt's 67 Chevelle back from Pasadena to Atlanta. It was 396/powerglide. No A/C, no radio, just your basic car with almost no options. Really low miles, she bought it new but was too old to drive it anymore. Knew I was a car nut, wanted me to have it.Barry Grant wouldn't let me have a week off to drive it back. :-((( Quote Selected

Let's just say panic stopping was not an option. Not my best decision. In the Stang. First New Car + Rush Hour Traffic + Bad Highway = :( Quote Selected

how far have you driven to buy a car? Reply #26 – July 25, 2007, 07:09:43 PM My dad worked for Delta, so flying was free then. Gas money and hotel was a worthwhile trade to get to see the country. I had never heard of anyone shipping a car then.Even now I have gotten a couple quotes for a nice Bird seen on ebay, and prices are closer to $2K for this trip.If I go to Mississippi to pick up a roadrace chassis(510 miles) will that count? :-))) Quote Selected

Did it twice - my first car in 1990 and my current DD a month ago, both bought in the same town.I did drive 26 hours to see a concert in October 2005 though... Quote Selected
