Will I Ever Learn

So last night I realized I need to put some gas in the car. BUT it was only 22 degrees out and I had what you might call a rough day. I figured I'd just do it this morning.

When will I learn? This morning? Yeah - it's 10 degrees out. TEN DEGREES. And I get to pump gas.

One hell of a way to start the day. Oh Shit - I hope the car starts. YIKES.

Same here, but when I remembered I didn't have gas last night, the hubby went and got it for me so I wouldn't freeze my tushie. So cold!

*shakes head*

Always keep your car full in the winter... especially when you keep it outside. Gas lines... freeze up.... no starting of car.

Just when I started thinking you were getting used to being back up here.

T1G beat me to it, however you still want to keep it at least at half a tank even if you store it in a garage. Unless the garage is heated, the line can still freeze up.

Sweetie... c'mon, you grew up in the North... I know it was Indy... but still. You KNOW it's always colder in the morning than the evening before! Yes, T1G and Contagion are right - don't let the tank get too empty... I know how you like to push it on the E... but you aren't in Florida anymore. *grin*

In Jersey, we don't pump our own -- one of the rare benefits of living in the Political Swamp.
