Default Hit fuel starvation tonight

Like the title says tonight was the first time I have ever hit fuel starvation. I made a hard right turn getting onto the freeway and then as soon as I straightened the car out, it did not have any power. The car was still "ON" but if I gave it any gas it would just not rev up. So I pull over and try to start the car and nothing. My gas tank goes from 3 dots all the way down to no dots while I was just sitting there. The whole time I was sitting there I was texting Andrew (DEpointfive0) and he was telling me what was to be expected, and how to come about fixing it. I call and text about 10 people and no one is willing to come bring me gas so eventually I called my boss and he stopped by our fab shop and picked up a 5 gallon tank of gas and filled me up. LITERALLY right before I was about to start the car the indash turns off and the battery died. I didn't realize it but I was sitting for over an hour with my lights on and my stereo on. My fault I know, but I didnt realize I was sitting on the side of the road for that long. So my boss goes back tot he shop and gets jumper cables and the car started up after the first try thank god.

I'm still pretty bummed out because I havent even had the car for two months and its starting to give me all sorts of problems. My old 350z had triple the miles and a lot more power and it never gave me one single problem. I guess I just have to be more careful now.

Sorry for the long bs story but I needed to vent my frustration lol. This is just a little reminder that everyone should just be on full if they want to have some fun with their Z.
