No injuries, San. Too drunk to get hurt. He got it started twice but it wouldn't move with all the flat tires. Happened about 3/4mile from the house, on his way home from the Rainbow, which is only 2 miles from the house.

Yeah, you don't have to tell me about the money. My one son, Jr., got his first about 4 years ago, lost his license for 1 year and 4 months, got his license back and didn't have it two weeks, and got nailed again. Lost his license for about 2 years, still has one of those Smart Starts in his truck, do to be removed in March. The wife and I wiped out our savings and maxed out our credit cards paying fines, court costs, attorney fees, plus we drove him back and forth to work for all those years when he didn't have a license. His job was 25 miles away one way. 100 miles a day on our vehicles, never once gave us any money for fuel, and the best part was he worked 3-11, meaning one of us didn't get home 'til after midnight, and I get up for work at 6. There'll be no more of that shit.

We went through a period with our son that you could say was don't call us,we will call you. Eventually he "got it worked out".He is doing very well now.

So don't keep paying but keep hoping.

I've certainly had lessons I had to learn the hard way.
They were the best lessons, though.
A person being continually rescued learns little.

Glad he didn't get hurt.
That could have been a lot lot worse.

What're you gonna do with this woman who drives the tractor into the pool and puts diesel in the GAS tank? :lol:

Well, now ya got me. I'm not sure which is lighter, diesel or gas, but I have to say the gasoline is lighter, meaning the diesel will sink to the bottom of the tank, thereby being the first to get sucked into the fuel pump. We've had a couple of cases where owners (and lot attendants) put diesel in gas tanks and vice verse. Probably 2 gallons may not cause too much trouble if there's say 10 gallons of gas in with it. It may miss and sputter, and it'll probably turn the check engine light on 'cause the O2 sensors are gonna go nuts, (maybe the knock sensors, too), but it won't damage the engines pistons or valves.

The way we do it, we extract all of it by pullin' the tank, siphon off the stratified fuels, throw the waste out, and put the good shit back in the truck. My recommendation would be to get it out of there, before it can cause trouble.

The games called "Edward Fortyhands" Not allowed to pi$$ until all bottles are MT. My son taught me the ways on a visit to his school. (Michigan State). Damn. I thought I could keep up. Needless to say, there was a bodycount. :oops:
Anyway, I got a brother that I pray never gets his license back from the state. He has had too many close calls, (4) the last time he almost killed a bunch of folks in a crossover. Luckily nobody was hurt and the judge (thankfully) tossed his a$$ in the joint for 6 months. He needed a lesson. I hope he learned it, but I still hope he doesn't ever drive again, cause he'll head straight for the bar from Penndot to celebrate. :(

Jon.............just fill up the gas tank and run her. I know years back guys would put 5 gallons of gas to 100 gals of diesel to make um ran better. The only thing you had to watch was the heat . They did run hotter by doing this. I think Mitch knows what I'm talkin' about.....................................


BTW................the car will probably smoke like a big truck till ya run that tank out....................... :lol: :wink:

Jon, I'll certainly drink a beer with you. Been struggling with a new novel, and it's SO damn cold up here. Even the cats won't go outside.
