I Meant To Do That

June 30, 2007 about Nissan Frontier

I work in the land development industry in Phoenx. I had been out driving around on one of our new sites that, of course, was far away from an existing development and services like gas stations. After spending a considerable amount of time out there I suddenly remembered that I had meant to fill up before starting the days's rounds. Checking the guage showed that I was below empty. I immediately turned of the AC (summer in Phoenix!), just cracked the windows in order to maximize my aerodyamics and made a B-line for the nearest station, which was about 6 miles away. Trying every trick possible, including obeying the speed limit and praying, I could see the offramp less than a quarter mile away when the engine sputtered and quit. I shifted to neutral and coasted to the downhill ramp and then down to the intersection. As luck would have it and proof that prayer works, the light was green and I coasted around the corner. The gas station was just uphill from there, so I tried the starter to see if there was anything left. The truck started and I drove to the pump looking like a champ; a hot,sweaty champ.

So did you find your keys?

Prayer works. The light is prayer sensitive, and won't ever turn green unless you pray for it to do so.

He can come back next year as one of the coaches. It would be an emsmerasbarnt to have him back as a player now. We not that low! I know he truly is a legend but dont forget he was itching to leave us a couple of years before he went 4  0

I ran out of gas in my 2008 MB S-550 4Matic at the gas station. Then last year I ran out of gas in my 2015 S-63 AMG (hate the % fuel gauge) as I was pulling into my garage
