most of my trips were first for sewing machines and second for any other reason that came up. Based on where I live, it would be rare for me to get one without having to drive at least 60 miles one way. I have made several trips into the Twin Cities specifically to pick up machines, but always do a bit of shopping while I'm there.
Maybe the farthest I've gone that I did nothing else but pick up a machine was maybe 150 miles one way. Interestingly enough, it wasn't even for me - it was to pick up the Politype for SteveH. I also drove quite a way ( to northern NE) to pick up the Featherweight cabinet.
For me, 50 miles away is nothing, but I drive 84 miles one way to get to work. Living rural does that to one.
