elaborate on this "just friends" concept you had with him, it seems odd that he would drive for two days to hang out with a friend for half a day, was there some kind of event involved?

Well, the first time it was when I was visiting another state, and he happened to go to a college that was a few states away from where I was going to be. He asked if I'd mind if he drove out to hang out during my free time and I said why not? We really were nothing more than friends, and we've never become anything more though we still keep in touch. This was probably the only instance that didn't leave me feeling weirded out/stalked.
Second time was an ex, it was one of those situations where I think he was trying to get me to swoon over the romanticism of him driving cross-country to surprise me in an effort to get me back (why, I have no idea, we had nothing in common), but considering I was really done with him I wasn't so amused.
Third time it was a guy who I was friends with and he left to go to a school on the East Coast; I assume his thought process was something like the ex's where I think he thought that if he drove out and surprised me, he'd get points and I'd suddenly want to date him. Unfortunately for him, since I had no idea that he was even coming (I didn't even really think we were that close, tbh) I didn't even have time for him - I was scheduled pretty much nonstop at my job that weekend. He ended up throwing a fit on my doorstep and my poor roommate had to deal with him =(
I had one other guy offer to drive from Boston to Ohio once to "comfort" me after a recent breakup he'd found out about, but he at least had the brains to ask and I said no.
Reading that, I come off kind of cold hearted, don't I? Oh well...
