But, when I got to thinking about it, I'd have to leave work around 2pm so I could make it back to the hotel and then avoid the awful Detroit traffic... so it took 7.5 hours of my time, as opposed 9 hours of driving... which is why I drove back and forth, except on weekend trips.

That's the thing - you piss away so much time in an airport (even if your flight is one time, which at O'Hare is doubtful) that by the time you get to the airport, stand in line, check in, go through security, then wait to board, wait on the tarmac, and wait some more, then the flight, the go through it all over again once you get where you're going and then deal with a rental car, chances are you could have already driven to anywhere in the midwest in your own car.
