It and done yeah then I'm just some of mine in my own distant pop you know listen and all the sudden I I hear a -- click. In them pushing down enact gas pedal. And then we have to go to the delay to repeat some of the comments on the next its oil on 494 I'm in between Carlson parkway. And Tony wrote six and I'm not cruise. I am now there's there's no control that foot is down at the -- what lay in review I'm in the right lane thankfully thankfully thankfully I mean delta. No it was a lucky breaks and now. What do you do. What you and I used to have a guy call in what is at the fan called and call for its biggest chemical -- to his friends didn't like you probably need -- Petraeus betray if you're listening to -- it could trade told me he would run out of gas once a month really yet he seems like a reasoned intelligent got. But he said he would always play with that so. I'm in the right lane and I'm seeing Connie writes except that made this driver for nanny for. Hundreds of times in nine coach Steve.

It on the six million dollar and out of the car I went right I got out that you don't say if you let it sit for awhile so that gas. The condensation in the gas tank war -- of liquefied would turn -- gas I wish I was noting no imminent more out of it. And I would just make a phone call what it's like you and say -- AAA. Which number I'm I'm not that I'm not that far relief Romo pass these in the exercise and respect that you know so and I wasn't thinking that clearly -- So why I've run up -- of the gas station after frost traffic coming across in midtown Manhattan but I mean the median. You know I'm in the media where there's lot of snow piling up and people are looking at -- and across all over another big just. Crying need chunky east -- earlier and now I'm in the parking lot of the gas station. So -- go inside yet about against him -- that's exactly right to my door and and I say hey I ran out of gas.

The -- gas can I give that put in gallon in the half for some like -- He had been at look at it because it technically on a scale zero to ten I'm negative to. But I think -- poured into the into the vehicle well it's something -- yet can pull it back. When you put it into the car itself. We all eventually realized that because only had about a five minute summit. On how the guest network. In effect in the employees of the gas station and no clue how to know -- we're trying to pull the top off. Final one guy goes what are you people doing. You just once you put it in your car. This will be pushed back natural it's okay. Sliding get the car I've run back now I'm not clearly there have been major advancements in caskets I mean I have -- I would know how to do this either he's -- now I'm Lindsay Wagner. On the -- one running running back. The only have a Bionic Woman show couple years ago came back and one of the networks for -- But three episodes going to miss yeah I was it was a blockbuster so guess what not try to put in the car. And that thing doesn't pull back technologies does it sort of stuck in your vehicle you know I can take it up with no gas is going in -- To the vehicle -- so now I have to poll the thing back trying to avoid getting gasoline. All over me. I do it and then get the car to guess they're united so thank you thank you that that."

" It's harder today than ever to run out of gas I'm I'm assuming of a fairly modern view I do a -- and it tells you. How many miles you have left before your on him too well on -- that's not always accurate in my car and gets down to about thirty. Then suddenly it's like double time like 302928.

As opposed to women to promote decide they'll episode Kramer in the car dealer all and -- has an edge on everything that in the gas. It's on me and they just keep going to -- blown buy gas station because it's -- yeah. But this is number three for me about a amid all timeless yet third don't know third time I've run out again well you CPI know exact I've been -- gases is like fifteen well first -- college.
