 Yup, just slap a smiley face sticker on that gas gauge, and all will be well 🙄

 Hell yes, love it!  I meant gas gague, as in how much gas is left in the tank before you run dry. Denial or positive thinking doesn't get more gas :)

 Was with a friend a couple years ago having a beer and standing next to his car. He looked down and just calmly said "now I understand what they mean". I look down and see brake line they didn't have a spare for just folded on itself, clamped into vice grips and taped with electrical tape. Job done
