She should no BS look into a driver Ed refresh or something....this is like the 3rd major incident in as many years irrc
I feel that "Your car, your problem" is the best approach for me.
She can do what she wants, I'm out on this.
This is best. Same for with Kendra. Her Kia Soul is a soulless POS. Lol. But it's hers. She doesn't keep it clean, she cranks the AC and turns the car off with it going full blast, so the starter has to deal with engaging the compressor every time. She doesn't check oil, she rides that "EMPTY" line often (I've had to meet her to fill her up with a gallon of gas several times). But I ain't paying on it, so I don't care. I keep up with the oil and shit for her, but that's it. She has gotten better at situational awareness with her driving tho since she started autocrossing.
It's a great car for her and Jess, but for me, that shit ain't gonna cut it. As long as it lasts and I don't have to bail her ass out of any major repairs I'm happy with it.
Most modern cars have a kill for the compressor upon startup.
But yeah man, I want an easy to own appliance for her.
I should get Jessi autocrossing, but she's too scared to drive the E30, and after this, yeah, no.

It don't cost no more to run on the top half of the tank.

Yes it's a cool car. But prepare the lube/sawdust.

I hope so. I shut off the A/C once every 9 months.

My guess would be that Chris took some time off because he has read the dialogue on this page 1,345 times and decided to spend some of his free time doing something besides beating a horse to death.

Wise. My drove us to a concert last night, I drive 90% of the time so I hadn’t ridden with her in a while. She nearly wrecked three times because she was looking at fantasy football on her phone, fucking with Waze, etc. it’s really not worth saying “you’re not driving that well, you should do xyz”... that would make anyone, including this whole forum aggravated. Better to just let them work it out on their own.

It's a thing. Mine has done it twice too.
Mine gets paranoid desert style. 1/4 tank is “must have gas now” territory
Just saying, example yesterday. I'm at a meeting in Riverside, headed back over the 60 to the desert, about 1/6 of a tank left. 60 is blocked completely, by some an epic 5 car accident, probably somebody checking fantasy football or waze. I get forced onto a detour that is bumper to bumper.....for like 10 miles. I see how fucked this is, pull a U and head home back through Riverside on the 215 to the 10. All of this SoCal highway disaster (common) forces me to drive 55 miles I DID NOT INTEND TO. I end up pulling off on the 10 at some shithole gas station. Had I followed my usual parameters I would have been able to get home ZFG. Get gas where you want, when you have time. Otherwise, this shit always happens.

Lololol this is hilarious. Glad to hear it's not just my wife that plays Russian roulette with the gas gauge.
Last time I got in her car and saw it was stupid low, I said if she runs out of gas, her ass is walking to get a 1 gallon tank to fill it up. I'm not going to call any of my friends because of your ignorance to a simple problem with an easy solution. You stop at the gas station constantly to get coffee and fucking Diet Coke, you can put a few bucks in the tank at the same time.
Same goes for her shitty driving. I don't argue it any more. I just let other people honk at her and then she gets the point.

So you used 1/2 a tank in 10 miles?
Your question makes no sense given the information provided to you.
