C63
Guess what I did?
Ran out of gas yesterday....just beyond some railroad tracks. Good thing it was at night. I had rushed to an appointment needing gas and took a phone call and forgo I DESPERATELY needed to hit the gas station. I was about a mile from home and felt a sputter and said "Sh*t!!, I'm running out of gas." I haven't done that since my early 20's. LOL. A police officer was nice enough to sit behind me until the wife (who is delivering Wednesday AM) came with the gas container. I was walking distance from a gas station. In hindsight I probably should have gone myself but was kinda 'noid about leaving the C63 unattended. A few guys on motorcycles and one driving a T-rex helped push me up away from the train tracks. The T-rex looked like a blast.

1) How the hell does an adult run out of gas? That is really good for your car.
2) With a cop sitting behind you, why not walk to a gas station?
3) You make your pregnant wife get it for you? What a gentleman.
4) "'noid" Who the hell uses the term 'noid?
5) You were afraid to leave your car unattended but yet had to let a bunch of people put their hands all over it?
In conclusion you are an idiot.

I've noticed that most of the C63 owners on this board tend to be very pleasant. There is no reason for you to be post this troll response. You really need to relax and let go of the ridiculous condescension.

does the c63 have show how many miles you have left to OUT OF GAS? if so, how many extra miles did you get out of it once it hit zero?
In my G35, i have driven about 7 miles on ZERO miles left and have not run out... kind of like that Seinfeld episode with Kramer taking Jerry's car and refusing to put gas in it

The problem with this car is that it gets 12 mpg in the city with a heavy foot and I can see someone forgetting about a gas alert perhaps the day before.

The center info screen goes to a reserve fuel alert that you have to hit a steering wheel button to get back to whatever you were one...stereo/navi/trip, etc.

I'm not sure about that. I occasionally get that warning and then drive the car later after it had been turned off but I can't remember if I get the warning again. I'll have to check that out.
