and I decided that today would be the ideal day to run out of gas less than a mile from my house. I still say though, that if it hadn't have taken 13 minutes in the Sonic drive thru then I would have made it home. My fruit/berry slushie and I had a nice time waiting for my dad to come pick us up (he stayed here for a couple of days while on layover.) So then I got to hear the 'I spent how much money to send you to college' speech. Yeah dad, I know common sense isn't always my strong suit :) BUt to my credit the car hasn't been driven in a couple of months, so it wasn't like I've avoided filling the gas tank, I just didn't pay attention.
That was bad, but then aparently I decided that sitting in the heat wasn't good enough, that I'd actually like to walk in the heat too.
My dad and I decided to drive my car, which broke down on me Thursday (but then started perfectly fine Fri morning and I've boycotted driving since)to go get Mikey from grandma's not even a mile away. It quit again. Seriously frustrated I huff it 3 blocks home to get the now gased up car, and lo and behold when I get back to my dad he had coaxed my car to start stubbornly. He drove it home in 2nd gear, whatever that means.
Oy vey!

Sorry to hear about your car trouble! I am nursing a partial flat tire which has been patched, but still leaking air...probably not safe, huh? Well, then they should give away free tires! That's all I have to say about that! :) Better luck today!
I don't know how I have not run out of gas yet, but I always forget to watch it! I despise gassing up the car so I always made sure that I just used enough gas to be able to pick my husband up from the airport when he would travel, and no more than that so I would pick him up with an almost empty tank, hehe. He thought it was pretty amazing that I could work it out so perfectly.
