CarrieMpls said: So, my car stops accelerating on the freeway on my way home from work. I have no idea what the heck's going on, so I start frantically changing lanes, putting my hazards on and exiting into downtown. It seems to go OK in 3rd gear for a while, so I press on and decide to take the back streets home.
I get to a fairly busy intersection and the car just stops. And will not start back up again.  So I put my hazards on again and go hunting for my triple A card. While I'm on the phone with them, 2 amiable passersby start pushing my car off the road and I'm all steering and talking to the nice lady at triple A and saying thank you out my window.
The tow guy gets there in record time and we're away to the shop. I drop it off and am quite happy when he tells me they'll get to it right away. I applaud myself for remembering the multiple bus routes I can use to get home. It's starts to sprinkle on my walk off the bus, so I hurry a bit. Good thing I did, as my home phone is already ringing when I walk in the door. "Is this Carrie?" he asks. "It sure is!" I say, "Just walked in the door." "We took a look at your car, and I don't know how to tell you this... '
"ok.... what's wrong with it?" "You ran out of gas." 
I can't believe I'm such an idiot.  OMG!!! LOL had a very simular thing happen with my HUSBAND at the wheel!!! The ppl that owned tha garage we were towed to were friends!! Think one of them nearly busted something laughing so Carrie....dont feel bad  PRINCE IS WATCHING U  " When an Artist Creates, whatever they create belongs to society"

Just this week, my car was down to less than a quarter tank of gas and the gas indicator light came on and beeped at me, and I went and filled it up | |

Don't worry about it, when I used to work at Home Depot one of the managers there bought a motorcycle and was directed to talk to me about his problem. He had bad gas and rust in his gas tank. He said he cleaned it out. Put in fresh gas and rode around all day. Then it started bucking and wouldn't stay running. He figured he ruined his carbs. I thought about it a while and asked if he had switched to his reserve tank. He went home and rode the bike back Le prego di non toccare la macchina per favore! | |

That could get expensive. Don't wanna lose a fuzzy white purse over gas. | |

I really miss that purse.
Yes, they charged me. It cost $85 for the inspection, a couple gallons of gas and an oil change. But it's no biggie. I actually love that shop and they've given me crazy bargains before. If the owner were there I don't think he'd have charged me cause I ususally talk to him, but he wasn't there today. |
