I ended up doing neither of them. My wife made plans for the weekend, and there was no way I was going to freeze meat that expensive.
The other issue was I got a complete B.S. speeding ticket . I was blocked in at a light and needed to change lanes to get to the side of the road that the street I needed to get home was on. I sped up for about two seconds to get in front of traffic, and saw lights. I even knew the cop was there. that's how ridiculous it was. Need proof of what a cash grab tickets are... In Texas you can do deferred disposition, pay your fine and go on probation for 90 days without the ticket ever being reported if you don't do it again while on probation.
I didn't have the nerve to spend any extra money after dropping $170 on the ticket.
