MINIs out of gas day?

So this morning after I droped my wife at BWI, shes going to Vegas, I am going south on 295. After the 195 exit and before the 100 exit I spotted a nice GP on the side of the 295. I pulled over and noticed it was a customer of mine and SHE had run out of gas. Now, I wont say who SHE is. So I go off and get her some gas and return and put it in her tank after figuring how to use the gas can . So on my way home on 29 on the southbound side I spot a Yellow convertable MCS with someone pouring gas into there tank. I found it ironic 2 Coppers out of gas and I spot them both. Just thought I would share my Mini tales. Cheers All!

They might have too much fun motoring and forgot to look at the gauge.

Btw, thanks you so much, Carlos. Maxi looks much better with the tint on.

Even w/o HER GP # Carlos would have recognized GyPsy as it was the first GP he did the tinted windows...

Thanks so much Carlos... and FYI I run out of gas because ..silly as it might sound , I forgot to check the level before I opened the GPS..

Friday I finally got my new GPS Pioneer AVC N3 installed and when in use it covers the lower part of the speedometer thus covering the gas gauge

Nothing fancy.

Maxi's just got 35% tint on yesterday. I haven't got a chance to take any new picture just yet, possibly this weekend.

Btw, I normally update my project at the "little fun ... my way" thread.

With a nice NAV unit like that I would easily forget to check my gas as well

Good show Carlos!

Is 35% legal there? Here in Ks we can only go to 15% - on days like today it's not enough!

FYI the percentage is the amount of light that let through the tint. IE:
  • 35% = 65% of the light is being blocked
  • 15% = 85 % of the light is being blocked
So, 15% is dark tint and that is pretty nice for Ks to legalize that dark of a tint.
