I once had the check engine light turn on because I was too low on gas!

Just because my car stalled and sputtered as I was pulling up to the 
pump!  I hope I'm never that broke again.

SPITFIRE CONTENT:

I recently brought my spit back on the road after a few years in the 
garage.  I promptly ran out of gas nearly the first time I drove it.  Turns 
out the float on the sender got stuck at around 1/8th of a tank left.

I also blew up the transmission (hence the post last week).  I should have 
a replacement tomorrow, so I know what I'm doing tomorrow.

I've still been driving it though (I have no other better functioning car 
right now).  I just can't use 1st or reverse!
