I have a bad habit of wanting to do business with the people that want to do business with me. I will make the drive even if the transportation cost makes the math equal. I bought my lasty two Super Dutys from Illinois, and drove them home to Colorado, 1070 miles away.

 

I bought my 22 from Granger. They provided a ride from the airport (don't know if they still do) and had everything ready to go. A few sigs and I was on my way. I slept in it that night. I'm not sure why people are factoring in meal cost. Are you saying that if you bought locally, you wouldn't eat during the time you would have been traveling?

 

No.
I eat healthy nowadays. It costs me significantly more to find someplace and something worth eating on the road that it does if I prepare my own meals at home. That's why.
