About 450 miles round trip for me (did it 2 times, once to look and negotiate and second time to pick up). I would not have driven that far except the deal was really good. Looked for 6 months for exactly what I wanted. At that time I had not found anything local I couldn't live without for the prices they wanted.

about 250 miles to Houston to get one, although going there was a pain..driving back at night with a new LS1 under the hood = 
ha. Had to work all of my 2nd semester of senior year practically non stop and through Spring Break, but hey it was worth it.

Re: How far did you go for a LS1? Dumped my girlfriend, quite smoking crack, stopped doing X (no gf anymore anyway), dropped out of school, started only eating cereal, and lost weight to go faster....

I drove 2800 mi. I flew from Los Angeles,Ca to Richmond Virginia and drove my 99 Chevy SS all the way back 
to California. It took me 39 hrs straight and only stopped to **** and fill up the tank. Did it all with the help of ciggarettes 
, Redbull 
,and Nodoz pills 
I saw the car on ebay and it was love at first sight. I took Route 66 almost all the way back and smoked a 'stang 
while driving through St. Louis. It was to say the least an unforgetable trip that I enjoyed and hated at the same time.
