I flew to Dallas-Ft Worth to pick up my "new to me" 2002 Boxster S back in 2005. I was going to have it shipped to northern Illinois, but decided transportation costs were too much, as I fly for free (spouse of United Air employee). Car already had 7400 mi, so adding another 1000 wasn't a big deal to me.

Flew in on a Friday AM, dealer picked me up at the airport and I was on the road by 1 or so in the afternoon. Drove to Springfield MO, around 450 mi before stopping for the night. Up the next AM and drove the remaining 550 mi to my home, tired, but satisfied with the adventure.

Car had been serviced with oil change and didn't skip a beat coming home, except weather was too cold for top-down driving (early April in the Midwest).
