This has happened to me twice in seven years.
We take for granted trip-odometers, intuition and even the promptings of the still small voice. Let this be a lesson to you all. Don't let that needle dip too far left of the slash. When the car starts coughing you're in trouble.
I was on South Temple between Main and State. Car starts coughing and then the wheel locks up. Fortunately I was in the right-hand lane. A gentleman walks up to put another quarter in his meter while a lady exits the where I needed to park my car.
"Sir," I say in my outside voice. "I just ran out of gas. Could you help me push my car into that spot right?"
"Sure." People are willing to help if you ask.
More to come.

ouch. I'm sorry that happened.
Perhaps you should follow T.R.'s lead and donate plasma.
Um...I can't say I didn't hear this coming...did you end up on the road?
Money is not the issue.
The issue is neglect. The Still Small Voice says, "Allison, fill your car before you go Down Town."
Did I listen? Obviously not.
We'll all learn.
