Having any kind of car trouble is the pits.

Short story...
We went to visit my parents in SC, on the way home my car's transmission went out about 50 yards from the toll booth. So we had to push it through (and of course pay the $1.25 fee first) and call a tow truck. Now keep in mind we had 2 large dogs with us, and a trailer with their kennel in it and we're in Beckley WV Thank goodness they were able to find us a motel that took dogs (of course the room was about the size of a shoe box ). There were no restraunts around and no convenience stores/gas stations close either so basically no food for us or the dogs, just the snacks we had with us. The next morning my dad brought his truck (he was about 250 miles away) and a trailer and took us home. One of the worst times we ever had. And had to spend an extra $300-400!

So just be happy all you did was run out of gas

Hope your feeling better
