my car has been sitting all last night and all day today in my garage.. i started her up, and then she idled for about 2 seconds then died! i tried to crank her over again, and she wouldnt start! i waited about 30 seconds and tried again.. still nothing! i was totally sh*tting bricks! how the hell was i going to get my car back to stock, or even have the engine compartment look stock?! i went upstairs, grabbed a cigarette, smoked the hell outta it, then tried again.. after about 5 seconds of cranking, she started.. whew! i drove her around the block a couple times, then made my way into the city.. after dinner, i went to go get my car from the parking garage, and the valet attendant told me that she wont start.. oh god no! i went back, and noticed something funny.
i normally get about 230 miles per tankfull during city driving. my odometer read 280 miles. but get this.. my gas gauge was at 3/4 full!
lucky for me, the parking attendant had a gallon of gas for such an occasion..
damn instrument cluster! i have one on order at bellavia cuz the chimes for door, lights and fuel dont work, but ive been too damn busy to send her in to have it replaced..
whew!
