It was bound to happen…
I was driving to a meeting today panicking about the level of fuel in my car (fuel being so expensive and not being bothered being 2 of the reasons it’s been running on nothing but the fumes), so I prayed and prayed, imploring God to get me there, cause it was an important meeting with a teacher and a parent (funny how God comes into the picture especially when there is a desperate need that nothing else can fill…). I got there, had the meeting (praise God!) and drove off. 2km down the road it stalled. I coasted in neutral as long as I could (about 2kms), dumped the boar and walked to a servo (nearest one was 3km away). I got picked up straight away by a kind person who dropped me off on the way. I bought a jerry can (we already have 2 at home…), filled it up, started walking back to the car, got picked up again a minute later and emptied the contents of the can into a smaller bottle (which fitted in the tank hole) and into the tank. I started the boar up, drove to another servo on the way back to school and filled it up…55 litres/$75… every time I fill up I remember why I ride most places and especially to work!
