What's the farthest you've traveled to pick up a bike?

I just read a post from a member who drove 350 miles round trip to pick up a bike purchased online. I myself drove about 670 miles round trip to pick up four bikes to flip, and all the while I thought I should have my head examined. My wife thinks I'm nuts. The bikes are not high-end, so it's not like there's thousands or even hundreds of dollars in it. I just found them interesting, and wanted to get them cheap. Shopgoodwill.com.

So tell me -- how many of you drive or even fly great distances to acquire a bicycle? And do you do it regularly? Is this a sign I'm losing perspective? I mean, that was ten hours of driving in one day. I did not enjoy it. But I like the bikes!
