About 3,000 miles.
Bought the car in PA and picked it up in Virginia and then drove it out here to California.
I was also impatient and got the Auto, but I think a 3000 or so stall will make up for that

I flew from Orlando, FL to Decatur, IL (the smallest airport I've EVER been to, I think it was a personal air strip), then I drove back to Florida. Just under 1,100 miles. I also searched for my car for about 4 months....I got what I wanted though!

Flew from DFW to Cincinnati, OH and drove back to TX. Whole trip took me less than 24 hours 
When I got to the airport I couldn't find the car so I had to call the guy's dad while I was walking around the parking lot looking for it. When I finally saw it, it was love at first sight 
I'd gladly do it again if I had to.

Mine was from Kentucky, I live in South Caolina for now. So yea you have to go far and wide to find a good one. All the ones around here were a little worn. I mean they all will have some. wear of course. But sometimes you get a pertty good one.

I only went about 20 ft to buy mine! I was selling cars at a chrysler dealership about 5 months ago and my 2000 Formula w/ 28000 miles comes in ttop auto with chrome 16's, so after missing my 98 TA i sold i traded in the silverado and bought the car for $12,300. the paperwork was done before the car even went through the shop for inspection. nobody else had a chance in hell to swipe her from me!

Same thing here...when I got to CO, it was like 9 am...lady who sold it to me picked me up...I left Colorado at like 2 and drove until 3:30 sunday morning, and only stopped 1 time! I think the adrenaline of getting the new camaro was the only thing that kept me awake.
