close call,

not sure where to put this but, I was driving earlier with my dad and uncle and we all notice the fuel pump is whining loud,but nobody could figure out why then when i stepped on the throttle it would backfire and shake and didn't accelerate like it should, that's when my dad told me he only put $10 of gas in it last night, and we were driving it around all day,

so i cut the ac off,held my foot steady and drove 25mph for what seemed like forever until we saw a gas station, but it was on the other side of the road, so i had to make an illegal u-turn and when i pushed the gas it didn't go at all so i put my foot down all the way and it spun the tires and took off and then stopped and we coasted to the pump with absolutely zero gas in it.,
luckily the fuel pump is fine, it was just on empty, any body else have a similar story???

Re: close call,

ran my RS to pretty low on gas made to sharp of a corner, and it died mine didn't end happily though fuel pump was toast after that....that's why I never drive a thirdgen with below a quarter tank of gas

Re: close call,

yeah man I guess I just assumed my dad filled her up the night before when he actually only put 10 bucks in..
I had to make a sharp u-turn from a dead stop and it almost died on me but i stepped on it spun the tires and launched it practically into the gas station. we literally rolled to the gas pump with no power.

come on any other stories??

One time me and doc were driving and the flux capacitor ran out of plutonium, we were stuck in the past so we had to use lightning to power the car and we just barely accelearated to 88mph.
