Well, I slept well at the “Cars” gas station. I resumed my great escape from CA at 5:00.
Gas prices in Needles, CA are ridiculous! $4.39 per gallon! Exit 9 in AZ was only 21 miles away. My fuel gauge said that I had over 1/8 of a tank. Not a problem…
Well, the first 19.5 miles went great. The last 1 1/2 miles took over an hour! I RAN OUT OF GAS!
To make matters worse, it happened WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE WITH MY WIFE! I had decided to be a good husband and let her know that I had made it out of CA without getting a ticket for driving an uninsured F150 and without getting my unregistered non operational T-Bird impounded!
Well, I don’t have much of an ego left anyway.
