The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

...y'all don't drive around with the low fuel light on?

I totally do, but then I like to live dangerously.

...y'all don't drive around with the low fuel light on?

I do, but I have about 3 gallons left in the tank when it comes on. Depending on what kind of driving I'm doing that will generally last me 3-4 days before I have to gas up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I decided tonight was the night to use this facial treatment sampler I got from Sephora, and it said it's like a spa peel thing, but....ow.

Our wings are not tired.

My hybrid starts talking to me when I have 50 miles left but I tend to ignore until it is under 10. I once had a car with dual tanks and I ran out of gas with that car more than any other. I always figured I had a bit in the other tank.

My step-dad says you should always keep it near full to minimize evaporation and save a bit of gas. We clearly are not related.

...y'all don't drive around with the low fuel light on? I...feel like I live dangerously now. Then again, mine comes on when I still have an eighth of a tank.

I sure don't. My car tends to use gas pretty steadily from full down to 1/4 of a tank, but the needle is prone to stock market-esque drops past that point. I've gone from 65 miles of estimated fuel to the low fuel warning light on a 7-mile drive from work to home.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I was driving with the low fuel light on all last night.(My fuel gauge has a tendency to go down quickly once it gets past 1/4 tank. I was also on a tight schedule, so I couldn't stop for gas at any point.) Luckily there was enough to get us home.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Research tidbit via Laura Hillenbrand:

Fun with World War II: On the coast of Britain in June, 1944, a little British ice cream truck took a wrong turn and got caught up in a stream of tanks and other war vehicles being loaded onto ships for the massive D-Day invasion. Unable to get it out of the way, the Americans loaded it onto a ship. On D-Day, amidst the carnage, the little ice cream truck rolled onto the beaches at Normandy.

...y'all don't drive around with the low fuel light on?

Sure, I walk around hungry all the time! Then I get home and top myself off with a Green Machine smoothie.

...y'all don't drive around with the low fuel light on?

My life is quite full enough with disasters that have no warning lights.

When the light comes on, I have about 15 miles left.

Just finished putting together the trivia game for tomorrow. Should be fun! For a good 3/4 of us anyway. The rest will indulge. There's food and drink; it's all good.

I will print in the morning. I am tired.
