How long have you driven to get something you wanted?
 

I am going to embark on a 11+ hour (one way) trip to Oklahoma to pickup my dream car. What kind of dream car is it? I'm glad you asked, I am going to purchase a 1984 4 door Buick LeSabre limited, this is the 3rd one I will own. The other two were sold years ago. I am getting a great deal on this car $1900.00 and it only has 46k miles on it. It's from a dealership in Wagoner OK. Anyways, I hate driving, especially on a long road trip, but for this car I will make the Voyage.

How far have you driven to get something you wanted. Obviously this will be over the weekend so I can get back to work Monday.

I once drove 9 hours to see an old flame to get laid.

Wagoner.


LMAO


Just don't go too much further south and you will be OK.

One time I drove all the way to Jersey to get some white castle burgers. We ended up in some trouble along the way but by the end of the night I got my burgers. To top it all off, I made out with this hot girl from my apartment named Maria.

Drove from Rochester, NY to Boston and back in the same day so my wife could see her Grandma who was very ill. She died a few days later.

SD to Harrisburg, PA to pick up a pinball machine I bought on ebay. Out one day and back the next.

2 hours to get some poontang

edit: from kc to stl so my wife could see her grandma in the hospital.

I don't know about ya'll but that Doritos Los Tacos commercial is a bunch of bullshit.

No way he drove 900 miles for that ****ing taco.

I drive to Florida 2-3 times a yr to visit/pick up my son.

1000 miles.

I had a friend in college that drove 4 hours each way for a bottle of Grape Ne-Hi.

Drove from Biloxi Ms to Miami, Fl to take a friend to a bachelor party. After working all day and getting past the lose herd of cows at night.

My family and I drove up about 450 miles to Minneapolis and back on a last-minute trip to get a certain apartment for me. Ended up getting the place over a bunch of other people because I had the wisdom to put down a deposit before I left.

Interestingly enough, as I was signing all the paperwork, I learned that Matt Kalil had leased an apartment on the same floor I did about a week earlier. Maybe I'll get to meet the guy when I move up in August.

I drove a rental truck containing my cousin's belongings from St. Louis to Los Angeles to get a free trip to California.

Why dont you just ship it?

I just drove back from Long Beach, CA a couple weeks ago after picking up a car. Flew out there and then drove 25 hours home.

A 1984 Buick Lesabre? Is this something that your grandkids are asking for?

Probably the longest I've driven to pick up an object was the drive to get my apricot BMW. The seller was somewhere in the Kansas City area and I was in Denver, so we met in Hays, Kansas. It was a little over 5 hours according to google maps.

pics or it didn't happen

all day and all nite too get bak home fo a piece of pie .. .. it was me wife .....

I drove to texas to rape a midget.

Don't judge.

I flew to the US to get some Chipotle.

Your wife's name is Pie?

We've all got dreams...yours are just weird.

Actually he did. I saw a link to his blog on a message board long before they rolled out nationally.

In high school, a friend and I drove to Harrisburg, PA to pick up a '67 Chevelle... left around 10:00 Friday night after watching playoff hockey and got back Sunday afternoon. ~2000 roundtrip with about 6 hours of sleep on the way there... and lots of Mountain Dew.

LMAO

Seriously, this. A nearly 30 year old 4-door LeSabre? I mean.... well... err.... whatever makes you happy, dude.

I drove 3.5 hours for pizza and pinball.

Bene Pizza and Pasta
12301 West Maple Road
Omaha, NE 68164

They had 8 pinball games and 20 or so arcade cabinets. Specifically, I went to play Revenge from Mars pinball. It has holographic animations that are mirrored onto the playfield.

hahahahaha

I drove straight thru to N'Awlins to see the Chiefs opener in '94 because I wanted to see Montana play the Saints.

I drove non-stop to Chicago to see a band called Porcupine Tree because I wanted to see them live again.

The distance was only 20 miles, but his route was left, left, right, left, right, then stuck in a hole for ten seconds, then leftrightleftrightleftrightleftrightleftrightleftrightleftright, then left, left, right, right, right, right, and finally down a little alley off to the side.

You guys are trippin'

Throw some 26's on that bitch and a DUB emblem on the fender and it's a pussy magnet.

12 blocks to get gas station ice cream last night because it's better than DQ... and cheaper and faster.

Really? My grandpa didn't seem to draw any with his, and this was actually back in the 80s when the car was new.

From KC to the Metro theatre in Chicago to see my kid's band open for The Fray. Also went to the Shoreline Amphitheatre south of San Francisco to do the same thing but I flew the first leg from KC to SF.

1088 miles to pick up a motorcycle.
sec

I honestly have no idea how much it will cost to do that. I bought an 84 LeSabre off Ebay about 3-4 years ago for $1200 bucks. I got quotes from a bunch of shipping places to pick it up in PA and ship it to Columbus and it was like a grand.

drove to chicago to see a cubs game. always wanted to go to wrigley

Grandkids LOL you have to have kids first. I just love the early 80's big body buicks. The 85 LeSabre was the last year for the RWD Lesabres. The 85's and 84's are almost exactly the same, but the 84's are much cheaper. They are getting ridiculous to try and find though. Not a sought after car, but it is a car that many people junked, so they are hard to find. This is the first nice one I have found in a year or so.

last september I flew from KC to LA for a burger.

I've flown to kc for a chiefs game

Hopefully you weren't wounded by any falling debris.

It was 1989 and they were in the division race. we ended up buying standing room only tix and then goin across the street after at some joint with like a thousand beers from all over the world and got good and hammered. good times

If I had the knowledge to work on it myself and somewhere to put it, I'd love to get another mid 80s Cutlass Supreme coupe. I had an '85 and loved it. Always makes me happy when I see one that is well maintained.

But still, I just don't get the old bulky sedan love. A Regal coupe, or a Riviera, sure, but..... why that?

I drove to Fort Collins once to pick up a new saddle. I think that's it.

Does vacation count ?

I drove from Springfield, MO, to Chicago to see Van Halen 3. :facepalm:

I rode a Greyhound bus for 12 hours down to Ft. Worth, from Wichita, to buy my car and drive it back. My wife and I, as my 2nd anniversary present, drove to St. Louis (again from Wichita), to pick up my motorcycle. Fun part was that it was in February and though it was supposed to be unseasonably warm, it had snowed 5 inches the day I got there. I rode the motorcycle all the way back home.

/I win.

Well to address your first point, I have a 79 Cutlass with a 455 motor, that needs some easy work for sale. I'd make you a great deal if you want to get back into the Old Car Game!!

Secondly, I am a big man, currently I am about 330lbs, and I am 6'6. So the old big body cars are what I fit in the best and most comfortably. The first car I ever had was a 84 4 door LeSabre with a salvage title, I loved that car. At that time I wasn't close to the weight I am now, but my height was close, and I fit in that thing perfectly. The 84-85 LeSabres ride like lazy boys because they have that crushed velour interior, but they have a V8 that can scoot also. I will keep this car mostly original. I have no plans on putting rims or hydraulics or any of that non-sense. I will change the radio though.

Made a 2 hour drive from Olathe, KS to Columbia, MO to get a Fender Stratocaster.

Sure, I don't see why not.

Drove 16 hrs from KC to Virginia to make an appearance at a custody hearing. Hearing lasted 20 minutes and the judge very nearly forgot to enter my appearance on the official record. Drove into the parking lot 30 minutes early. Turned around and headed home immediately thereafter. Straight through both ways.

That's nearly as impressive as my ice cream story.

It wasn't something for me, but I drove LiveSteam all the way to Morton, IL to pick up a caboose for his train since he didn't have a vehicle capable of hauling it.

As far as for myself, I drove all the way to Neosho, MO for weed one time.

Anyone who would drive far to get laid, married or not, are idiots.

Some people don't have pussy falling out of the sky at them and have to take it where they can get it. I personally don't have that problem because of my devilish good looks and enormous penis... but I can totally understand and empathize with my less fortunate brethren. Don't judge people because they are not as, gifted, as you and I.

About twelve hundred miles.

all I can think of after reading through this thread

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/Rynxm_GQEsI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I once back packed a bag of bowling balls across the Gobi desert during a drought to get a cherry flavored Dilly Bar.

i once herded 10 honeybadbgers across mongolia to the edge of the gobi desert to deliver a ****ing cherry dilly bar to some dude packing bowling balls.
sec

1.45 hours for Jack In The Box.

$#itting in a dirty truck stop with more force than the blowhole on a whale was a small price to pay after over 8 tacos and a double burger...

Well, I live in a condo with a one car garage that barely holds my '06 Impala, so a '79 Cutlass isn't really an option for me. :D

And I get you on the second point. I have a friend who's about 6'3" 400, and he has a hell of a time finding a car to comfortably fit him. The old tanks certainly fit the bill. Although he picked up a new Volkswagen Passat last week that he fits in pretty well.

Nice. :thumb:

LMAO Awesome.


Yeah I don't know if this counts but I drove from Tulsa to Indianapolis to watch the Chiefs not get a first down until the 3rd quarter in a playoff game against the Colts. We drove out Friday night and headed back as soon as the game was over. Didn't get into Indy until about 3 am. Slept in a fleabag motel, woke up for the game, watched us get our fudge packed, and then headed on back.

I had hope too when Ty Law intercepted a Manning pass and ran it all the way back to the 1 yard line. Then we went 3 and out and Tynes donked the field goal. :huh:

Oh well. It was a pretty good time. Indy was an ok town. The opposing fans were really nice. The bars and shit downtown were LOADED with Chiefs fans. The part of the stadium we sat in was LOADED with Chiefs fans. This fat poor Indy fan was surrounded by us. We all were calling it Arrowhead East.

The worst part of that day was I was $.85 short, and the asshole delivery driver made me stick my thumb in the butt of a honey badger to get my icecream.

worth it except for those few times I need to show people 5 fingers.

Drove 6 hours out for the last dog; 12 total.

Drove 7 hours to look at a truck I was pretty sure I was going to buy...until I saw it was a POS. So in essence I drove 14 hours for no reason whatsoever.

2+ hours for pancakes in NH.

2+ hours to shop at Disney World's Lake Buena Vista.

2+ hours to ride a lone rollercoaster and come back.

5+ hours to play cards with my family over the weekend.

2+ hours to see the Patriots play the Bills (I was living in Syracuse at the time).

I bought a '78 Cutlass Supreme (factory 305) on Ebay in '02. My buddy drove me from KC to Des Moines and I drove it back.

Before we got Culver's all over the place, my wife and I would occasionally drive up to Kopp's, north of Milwaukee, to get frozen custard.

Schweet! I have a 79 Cutlass Supreme Brougham, T-Tops, 455, 4.11 gears. She'll scoot!

Hey buddy! Remember when we drove like 6 hours to get a Taco Bell Doritos Locos taco?!! Good times! :) txt me ok!!?

I'm partial to late 70's early 80's before the nose got pointy. That Brougham have bucket seats?

I used to drive from Tampa to Manhatten twice a year to see my parents. I my early 20's I could make the trip without stopping for sleep. Now, thankfully, my mom lives 5 miles from me. R.I.P. Dad

Now here's a guy I want to party with...

I may wind up driving 7 hours (to and fro) to Independence, MO here in just a few weeks. Can't find anywhere local to get my CCH permit on a regular day off. :cuss:

Years ago we bought an 86 Delta 88 Royale - loaded. It was one of the most comfortable cars I ever had and also had a great interior. We really liked it but had to get rid of it cause it kept having transmission problems. But still awesome car.

Many years ago my sister had a 71 Buick Riveria with the bubble back window which sort of reminded me of the old Corvettes. It was a huge boat but really a cool looking car......

Shit man, just buy a bag of Doritos and do it yourself. Damn, those commercials are ****ing reeruned. I've been making Dorito Taco salad for years and it's easily better than that slop.

I drove to Denver to buy a cow one time. Made a 4 hour round trip to punish an ex with a grudge **** last summer. Drove 4 blocks to pick up my great grandfathers original 1931 Model A a few days ago. The cow died, the ex cried... but the car is back in the immediate family!:thumb:

Drove all over the country fishing and hunting, with a couple trips bringing very little home.

That annoying as hell "I've been everywhere" song just popped into my head.... http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/image...s/banghead.gif


The best part of this thread is knowing ****tardwickedson can't comprehend any of it. ROFL

Drove straight through from KC to Virginia Beach, VA in a 1974 Camaro once. Took about 24 hours. Luckily had another driver but have you ever tried to sleep in a 1974 Camaro without reclining seats? Not easy to do. I think my back is still stiff.
