Just yesterday, after showing my Cobra at the Beverly Hills Classic Charity car show, I was drving home on Rodeo Drive. There were four real Cobras there. I had a quarter of gas according to my trusty Smiths gauge when in the residential section, the engine started to sputter and soon thereafter I was coasting with a dead engine. I ran out of gas again for the third time because I keep forgetting that my gauge is not correct. Called AAA who told me it would take up to an hour for service. Well they showed up within 10 minutes and I was able to get to the nearest service station. But because the gas was regular, the back-fired all the way.

The way I take it is that I'd rather run out of gas in a Cobra than in something else.
