    Damn near ran out of gas...

    So I am driving the Protege last night as I needed to run to Kmart for a few things and then go pick up my food. So after the cute register girl gets done flirting with me I run out to the car, jump in , throw it in first and boom I am out . Get on the highway in 1st, hit 2nd get to about 4 grand and whaaaaaaaaaaaaaam, car feels like it hit a brick wall.. okkkkaaayy.. then power comes back I go in third, little bit of gas and whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam, another brick wall... got damit .. I couldn't figure it out, till I looked down at the gas gauge. lol ... E... it's on E, and resting on the dang notch.. Shoot I forgot to get gas.

    Oh well I get a couple more whaaaaaaaaaaaaaam's till I get to the gas station and fill up.. After I fill up the car runs normally... lol

    It's odd because with each time the engine ran out of gas, if I didn't have my seat belt on. I think I would have hit my head on the windshield.
    That's how hard it hit.
    Good thing I drive all the time with the belts on.

          all that was mentioned happened to me too just last october on my way to new york with my brother. after looking for a gas station i finally found one wherein the pump was like 500 years old and the gas station literally looked something like from the twilight zone.

            lol ..

            yeah, well I guess with the me not driving the protege on Sat and most of sunday, the tank being empty, and also the 5 degree cold weather.. There was condensation in my tank.. So that didn't make matters better. after a while of driving ... whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam .. It's like hitting a brick wall at frigin 50 miles an hour.. Your seat belt literally holds you in.

            I got some of that water evaporator stuff, ( damn I forgot the name).. and put some super in the car.. Then it pretty much went away. I will drop another bottle in the car and fill it up when I leave work today..

            my 323 needs a radiator, which I wasn't expecting. So I can't drive it, and now the damn battery is dead .. Cheap ass Autozone.

              yes Sir, I stay Overconfident. I have to be like this, I can't see being any other way.

              Just like your confident enough to post a mustang drag video on a protege site. Knowing most people may, or may not care for it.
