That cost is nothing compared to the price of your wife having a lifetime of "told you so's" racked up from going on a solo adventure to pick up your ride. For example:
-I unpacked the snowboots my wife packed for me. (because I love cold and wet feet?)
-I unpacked the thermal base layers she packed for me also (because if I didn't want the valuable oz's of weight holding me back)
-She reccomended hitting up a walmart in Dallas to load up on water, snacks and such, but I thought it'd be smarter to drive straight to Houston and sort it here. (can't calculate my current bar tabs, waters by the bottle, and worlds tiniest shaving creams).
It's not all bad though, I've spent more time at the bar than I have in 15 years, and I got free toothpaste from hotel. See pic, because, this had to have cost more to make than a full tube.
