i've driven 20 kms home from work with the needle resting at the bottom, could've probably gone a lot more too. Don't our cars have a reserve tank anyways?
2 gal reserve, I've used it many times

have those 2 times been when highway driving or city driving? cuz i know i've let it go pretty low before but usually will not sputter but have a harder time starting after. As most of my driving is only short distances.

story time..
my friend's pontiac sunfire was hit the other day. no note or anything. all that was left behind was this light piece and a small piece of the fender.
we were able to match the light and fender to the rear of a GMC Envoy/Envoy XL.
so we drove around for about an hour, hitting all the major apartment complexes, looking for a damaged Envoy. no luck.
then, a resident at my friend's house said that he frequently sees a red envoy with NY plates parked next to their house. the house next to my friend's belongs to the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity.
keeping this in mind, i remembered a brother i met earlier in the year, who is in said frat and is from area code 607, central NY. using the frat's chapter website, we found there were 2 people from NY in the frat. then i asked a brother in my building, and he said that the brother i met, jordan, drives said envoy.
so, we went to the Harrisonburg Police Department and filed a report. My friend gets a call from an officer this morning. the officer found the suspected vehicle, and sure enough the driver was jordan. he confessed to hitting my friend's car, and is now being charged with a hit and run.
pretty decent detective work, huh?
this is the damage to the sunfire. anyone think its totalled?

why did he run, if he knew you guys, or lived near you, he simply could have paid out of pocket or if need be went to the insurance, but it wouldnt have been a big deal.. 
, gl with the sunfire, hopefully he picks a new car.

Lexus update!
i know earlier i said the car was a 95, but my new intel states its a 1992. Same color, miles etc.
We'll probably have the car by next week. He's working on the car this weekend. it needs a new power steering hose, and the memory seat is messed up. all in all it will cost $4500, with 90k miles.

possible buyer is looking at my car next saturday 
Wish me luck guys!
I really gotta get an 02 sensor pronto so my CEL will shut off, and i may have to consider getting my windshield replaced through insurance asap, just so it looks better... I reaaaally need this fucking car sold for 5k min.
I'm even going to throw in the turbo and intercooler for good measure if I have to .

either replace the relay or bring it in somewhere warm for awhile. although it might be completely dead by now.

I said typical, and I know what's in your sig, doesn't mean they're all the same, but most frat guys I've encountered over my last 10 or so years of life have all essentially been the same personality

so guys dont drive recklessly while drunk. better yet dont drink and drive.
so after going with my 2 friends to some dive go go bar in town. my friend wanted to take his boosted DC4 integra for a spin on rt. 9 right by our houses. i decided to go home, smart move. so my friend went around a notorious turn for crashes doing 120. he looses control hops up the curb and crashes into a sunoco gas station. luckliy for him and my other friend they hit those N-shaped steel bar protection the gas pump.
so all the work we've done over the past month is all gone down the shitter. re-building the motor, wire tuck, suspension. hardly any of the car is salvagable to part out. thank God they were wearing there seat belts and thank God i wasnt in the back seat. my whole day is runined. this sucks so much.

Damn matt, drinking and driving is just plain stupid, but drinking and driving aggressively is just retarded. At least they're alive, and you weren't in the back for sure.

dude he just sent me a pic of the car and its so painful to look at. spending countless hours building this car in a freezing garage, and then this happens. it sucks cuz the whole time we were at the bar we were talking about all the plans for it, and predicting 1/4 times etc. then that happens.
