Another hidden cost of storm chasing: an extra car. I keep good mileage records each chase season. If all goes normally, I'll cross the 150,000 mile mark this season. That's almost the life of an average car. I have had 3 vehicles since 2000, if not for chasing I'd still be on my second.
Another one of those costs of chasing that doesn't become apparent until you look at all the numbers. In addition to the cost of fuel and hotels, if you chase consistently, you'll be buying an extra vehicle every 7-10 years that you wouldn't have otherwise.
