So I am almost out of the tunnel and the tac drops pretty low... normal considering the fuel system on the truck is shit at the moment. But a moment later it actually becomes apparent the bitch is out of gas. My fuel sender doesn't work so I just go off the gallons used which is always within 0.1 of a gallon. I dunno what the hell happened maybe i forgot I didn't fill it up all the way but 18 Gallon tank, I always fill up at 16 Gallons used it was at 15 used...

My battery is old and I pretty much killed it trying to restart the truck (only twice and it did start). So yeah I have blinkers on with a dying battery. I did the one thing you never do, get out of the car. But the hell if I am going to be in this bitch when the blinkers die. MTA cops show up soon and a minute later tow truck showed up gave me 2 gallons of gas. Dunno if I am going to get a crazy bill in the mail or not but I asked what I owed and he said nothing.

Leaving the gas station I notice a silverado in the snow with its hood up. I don't stop for people these days especially in the city. I used to, actually helped a guy repair his car roadside and he gave me 70 bucks once. But I felt like I had to stop and help this guy because of the help I just received. Needed a jump and were both in chevy's with dumb ass side posts. Took awhile and I dunno if he made it where he was going, followed til it was my turn off and he disappeared.

My Oldsmobile Aurora not only had shitty GM sideposts but it was under the fucking back seat...
 
whoever came up with sideposts need to be shot! whoever decided to put batteries(with sideposts) in ass of the vehicle needs to be shot also!
