I’m an idiot.

I fucking ran out of gas in Orange County. Because I wasn’t paying attention. Seriously. Who does that.

slap me.

 

Don't you pay someone to do that to you? RE: second paragraph.

 

Is this like coming out?

Re: Thread title.

 

God I hate Orange County. Sigh.

 

Dude, I literally ran out of gas yesterday afternoon on my buddies green ZX14! My hips/knees/ankles/lungs are destroyed today from pushing that Pig of a bike, 1/4-mile

 

my bike broke down once about 3miles from home...i feel your pain!!!

 

LOL, why. I like it better than LA County. Is OC to clean for you?

 

yes.

 

damn.

 

I ran out once in my brother's olds 98 on the freeway. That was 32 years ago :/
I was a mile from a station.

 

In the mid 80's I ran out of gas on the 55 in my Datsun 510. It was a $200 car so I just left it there and bought another car. @cortezmachine there are free cars to be had in OC. Probably Lambos these days.

 

That would be a great title for an autobiography.














For pretty much all of us.

 

And the answers would be redundant.

 

Damnit Cortez you just reminded me of a similar incident in my 20’s off an Alabama highway. I promised myself if I ever needed to get back in shape I’d just start pushing my street bike up hwy exit ramps…best full body work out ever!

So if you need to find me this afternoon I’ll be out in my steep ass driveway pushing her up and then rolling her back down.

 

Well we certainly know your answer to the question.

 

If you had an EV this never would have happened. So much for being LA-woke.

 

Hey now, I just might be onto something. Every CrossFit should come with an early 80’s Honda Goldwing to push around.

 

Only time I ever ran out of gas was when I was 17, on a first date heading to the movies, and the car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. I pushed it out of the intersection, with her steering, and walked to the nearest gas station, borrowed a Jerry can and continued on to the movies. There was no 2nd date lol.

Came close on the bike a few times though. Thankful for the reserve switch.

I hate letting my tank get below 1/4. I worked at a gas station all through highschool/college, and was always surprised at how many people would run out of gas all the time. We never had loaned cans either, so people had to buy them. Quite a few arguments over that. People used to go unhinged at having to buy a gas can for $3. I used to tell them to keep it in their trunk for the next time they ran out of gas lol.

 

I only ever do it in the middle of nowhere with the wife in the car. Always a good time.

 

This thread has so so much potential…


Were you racing the Daytona 200 at the time?
