Im pretty good with cars , Dad is a car nut and taught us everything, I only did a self service on it over a week ago to save me money...

So I can change a spare tyre, fix a battery and even diagnose most problems ( I have never been wrong so far and picked about 7 things that have gone wrong with this car alone) so Im usually OK. Oh and can POP a window or door no worries

But this had me stumped, Ive always had level driveways and never even let the petrol light go on, but cheap skate me thought I could leave it til today when it is cheapest to get petrol.... Lesson learned

Scared the crap out of me thinking it needed repairs, not just the $$ but being stuck with no one to help me with hardly any food at home etc, would have been an expensive taxi trip.

Atleast I didnt call NRMA to come I would have felt like a bigger idiot wasting money on them for $15 petrol... thats all i put in for it to start ... filled up a bit more though $40 doesnt get you much though these days....
