yeah hehe i learned my lesson,
btw what in-tank fuel pump is?
actually i just notice something weird, usually i fill up my gas up to 15.5 gallons, yesterday it was like dry empty, car would start but wouldn't drive and i filled it up only 13.5 gallons full(the nozzle wouldn't even fill more) is there any possibility that my fuel pump is broken?

Damn, dude, I rarely let my car get below 1/4 of a tank. After that story, I suggest you start doing the same.

Nice kill on the Cobalt, btw.

My little wreck happened im my driveway (which is about 30 yards long since I live on 2 acres and it wraps around to the back of the house). My neighbor was over and had parked her car about half way up the driveway, that coupled with my dark tint and no street lights equated to me backing into her suv, which really did a number on the rear of my car. Needless to say that was a shitty b-day cuz I got to wake up and get a really good look at my car

My car never gets under 1/4 tank, although it's about to seeing how I'm getting ready for a fuel pump upgrade!

Isn't it still accidently in the laws that it is legal to beat your wife for certain things in Texas?? Heard that on the radio about a year back when they were talking about strange laws...............and I keep telling mine everytime she has a "moment" that we are moving to Texas...and that is about the point in time that I have learned to duck!

Dude thats pretty funny, same thing actually happened to me a few days ago. I just bought this 93 silverado with a holley carbed 350 in it, the float bowl sometimes gets sucked dry after Ive been on it for a while. So anyways I was at a red light and this girl in a suzuki something looked at me and revved lol. So just playing around I revved back and it sounded real nice, then it bogged and died. Best part is it wouldnt start right back up again I had to pump it lolol.

Damn that little worthless race would have cost me a motor. I always have a 1/4 tank or better on the street.

Incorrect.
I trapped 103.5. Would give many stockers the need to bang some serious gears from a roll.
