Fufunfun STOP!! A Z died today...

dant1127 · 11-10-2014, 07:10 PM

First time I let my tank get down to 2 lights, thought nothing of it. On one of my regular roads I felt like pushing a little harder than normal. Quickly realized just how freaking fast these cars can take a corner without a hint of tire chirp. Harder I pushed the more it seemed I had. Great!! Big grin, pedal to the floor, no response. VDC? No... wait.. power steering gone. ****. RPMs, nada. Wait, push clutch and press start?! Pull over, car says 45 miles to empty and 0 leds. Crankcrankcrank nothing.... I killed my Z!!

And I thought my insane day was over... silly me. Crossing fingers, hopefully (feels wrong saying this) just a case of fuel starvation.

yep fuel starvation. but some gas in it.

dant1127 · 11-10-2014, 07:17 PM

Waiting for my free delivery of 3 gallons of petrol. Gotta love roadside.

To top it off im stuck on a pretty hefty incline with no flat ground in sight. Hope 3 gallons hits the spot!! P.S. tried cranking it 3 times and now my battery is dead

1slow370 · 11-10-2014, 07:22 PM

just stop just don't touch it anymore. and yeah 3 gallons should do it it fills from the pump side of the tank.

dant1127 · 11-10-2014, 07:27 PM

Not a whole lot to do with a dead battery, but I guess I should stop beating on the engine block with that thar crowbar. Figerd id get the stuck fuel loosened up.

1slow370 · 11-10-2014, 07:30 PM

see how many cars you can flip off before one stops to yell at you or something. Or just call your roadside like every 30seconds.

Edit: or do what I do, put curses on Carlos Ghosn

Lol so far ive had a state trooper and local cop pass by without glancing. Im off one of the 3 busiest roads in our quaint little town... bastards. Fuel should arrive in 5 minutes... anticipation is killing me. Hah! Almost as bad as I killed my car -_-

Hahaha nice. Tank full, battery charged, made it home. Notch on my belt. Now I know... don't let it get under 3 leds.
