With NO spare gas tank in the trunk ... cuz when you do it dumb, you might as well go all the way :P

I do believe many newbies run out of gas intentionally, just to see how far they can go on a gas tank. I know *I* did! I was carrying an extra gallon of gas, and when I ran out, I poured it in and that was enough to get me to the gas station. That experiment also helped me understand how many miles I can go after the last bar starts blinking - 24 miles. Because of the stupid bladder fluctuation thing, I can never know how long I can go on a gas tank, so I just start looking for gas as soon as the third bar disappears and I'm left with only two. That's if I'm on the highway. In the city, I go only after it starts blinking.

CA (and NJ) need better senators and congressmen. As FEMA so aptly demonstrated, if you are expecting them to help, you are SOL.

We had plenty of "Dump Doolittle" bumper stickers in my area. Pombo isn't such a hit in my circles either..... Then again I go to school in one of the biggest christian/republican counties in CA.

The other day I was driving home and saw a sad little Prius being towed down the road. No damage to it that could be seen, but one could only assume a failure of some critical component.

Poor little guy
