yikes. im not real sure if pushing empty is a good idea. ive seen some cars with fuel starvation needing a tow even after gas fill.

sorry to hear about losing your wallet though. that always sucks cause gotta call around to cancel/hold credit cards and such.

yeah :/ i had issues with the cube running out of gas when the gauge (digital) said I had an 1/8th of a tank left, likely because of this type of scenario. i have been very on top of not pushing the fit in the short time I've owned it, but this emergency left me no choice.

I also have a ticket that I got from wrecking the cube that I'm trying to take of without a license, eeek. not going so well.

today got the stock tires swapped on my 09. i took my 12's stock tires which were already off the car and the sport wheels from when i got the tpms pulled out.

the 09's tire developed minor dry rot and were only 40% tread left, so good time to change them out.

ha. ha. ha. I was going about 70 in the fast lane, I either had to slam on my brakes and get rear ended, swerve into the person next to me or just suck it up and hit the thing.
