    Lol at my day today: CSB

    So today I spent all day packing up for a college (moving away tomorrow).
    I had to meetup with my attorney in Oakland, and was driving back to Alameda, through the Webster Tube. This is a very narrow, loud, underwater, two-lane tunnel, that's a little over a 1/2 mile long.

    Anyway, I'm driving through the tunnel when my car starts choking.
    It starts hopping around as if it was out of gas - but I had a little over a quarter tank. Before I know it, the car dies, and due to the slight incline, I stopped moving forward. So there I am, stranded in the middle of an underwater two-lane tunnel.

    Caused a pretty bad backup, people honking, and got a wide array of looks from people driving by. Also, idk if it was really my fault, but after some random nice guy in a Tacoma towed me out with a rope, I saw the Caltrans tow-truck pushing out a totaled Subaru, that looked as if he had hit someone/gotten hit trying to merge lanes.

    And that's my lil' Bro story Cool. Fuel pump ain't workin waffleswaffleswaffles.

    Not your fault. People need to keep a safe distance from the cars in front of them and pay attention to the road.

      That has to be one of the most badass places to break down though. In a fucking underwater tunnel.

      Props.

      Now get her fixed.

        I'm moving to San Diego tomorrow morning, so it's sitting in a garage with an e90 till I get back for Winter break.

            My E30's fuel pump failed at 2am while driving a bunch of drunks home on a highway. Was so not fun. :( ugh.
