I once drove all the way to Maryland from Jersey for a used pair of speakers I had to have. How far have you traveled for that piece of gear you just had to own?
Drove from Woonsocket, RI to Annapolis, Md for a pair of DeVore Gibbon 8 speakers. Was 850 miles round trip and I did it in 1 day. It was 2 days before New Years in 2009. Took me 18 hours to go an come back and I did it alone. Didn't care for the speakers and sold them 6 months later.....never again.
I drove from Toronto to Montreal - 6 hours each way - to pick up speakers, and back home same day 1000 kilometer round trip. This was in '94. Two months later I saw another pair of the same speakers for sale ....40 minutes from home.
