I'll admit its my fault for letting it get that low on fuel, but in my defense my gas gauge isn't exactly accurate. I normally get 200-220 miles to a tank and I was at 210, but the light hadn't come on yet so I thought I was good. Apparently the light no longer works! I was on my way to the gas station when I ran out of fuel

haha very true. My wonderful gf brought me jumper cables and helped to get across the street to get fuel and then get home where I put the battery on the charger. Now she's right as rain, it was just a sucky day. So how is everyone's Christmas Eve's Eve

Unfortunately. I just took this job at the truck shop because it got me off of line work and all I really do is the "clean work" like electrical issues, the stuff most people hate and that I love

I definitely fall into that category. I need to clean up a lot of wiring and I'm dreading it. Not so much that its hard, its just tedious and intimidating

Was it always like that for you, or did you learn to love it after becoming good at it?

I always found auto work and electrical to be very easy, but I grew up in a house full of mechanics.
