Pfff. I ran out of gas on the way home from work today. I was really pushing my luck - the
fuel guage had been hovering just above the red for quite a while, and I had over 400 miles
on the trip odometer (which I reset on every fill-up). So it was really no surprise when my
poor Golf started sputtering and eventually died. Luckily, I was only 1/4 mile or so from
home. Luckier still, the car died right in front of some apartments and there was a guy outside
talking on a cell phone. He kindly ended his call so that I could quickly call home. Minutes
later, help showed up in the form of my father-in-law with a couple gallons of gasoline.
I was back on the road so quick that I think it barely even qualifies as a break-down.
