ran outta gas,,,,

Post by SASSY »

Jumped in Sassy this morn to meet a couple a buddies for breakfast. Cool and sunny great morning for a run. Did a bit of runnin around after and headed for home. The closer I got to home the darker it got till I was driving in a snow fall. Knew I was low on fuel but always have a gallon in the trunk cause the gauge isn't accurate. So anyway get to the point the car is in the pic, outta gas,, and the blue building, THE GARAGE!! Slammed the door went in the house. After lunch the snow had melted went out put the gas in the car and into the shop. SOMETIMES,,,,

Well better than walking several miles in the snow, really it sounds like near the perfect amount of gas except it might not get you back to town to fill it up.

See Ya,

Snow??? What's that?

A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of drought and flooding rains,..enough with the floods already..."

Mike, that's an Imperial gallon of gas, 4.54Ls and with my thrifty little 6 I can probably go to town and back
several times using MATURE driving techniques. But using my style of being "18 Till Die" should still make it back to town
