What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?

I have been having problems with my car's electrical, it would rev up partially, then die off as though it was running out of fuel. After some troubleshooting, it seemed that it was losing voltage, which I assumed to be the cause. Tonight I wired in a toggle switch directly from the battery to the MSD box, giving it over 12 volts which seems to have alleviated that issue, but it still feels like it has a submarine tied to the rear bumper, I have 4.10 gears in the rearend, but it will not spin the tires, starting to wonder if it could be convertor.
Decided to go for a road test, I had just left my house, gone about a mile or so, when the thought occurred to me that it's been since last year that I put gas in the tank, and of course my gauge doesn't work. I contemplated heading for the Costco gas bar, about a half mile away, but decided that it would be fine, and turned in a different direction. Damn if I didn't get about a mile down the road when she started to crap out. Yup, dumbass ran out of gas, and don't have a can in the trunk either. I was only about 2 blocks from my buddy's house, so I called him, he's out on his motorcycle, about 2 hours away, crap. But he says his son is home and he will call him and have him bring me some gas, cool. Now I just have to ignore all the other drivers coming by, giving me the nasty looks because my POS is dead on the road. Meh, whatever. Kid shows up with the lawnmower gas can, about 2 gallons, and I'm rolling again, tell him to meet me at the nearest gas bar so I can fill it up again. Put $50.00 in my car and head off to continue my road test, still feels sluggish, can hear the secondaries opening, but just ain't right. Bring it home and set it up on the hoist to check a few things, damned if the left front wheel isn't locked up, caliper seized. Next!
