So after driving around merrily these last few days, my engine suddenly decided to cut out on the freeway in a construction zone where there are concrete barriers blocking both shoulders.

I had no choice but to flip up my hazards and coast to a stop blocking the entire right lane. I called 911 of course, and they sent out a patrol car and a tow truck. However because of all the traffic it took them a good 20 minutes to arrive.

In the meantime, I lost my faith in the patience and good will of humanity as people cursed and honked a storm at me as they roared past. Others not able to see much past their own noses nearly rear-ended me, or swerved into other traffic at the last second trying to avoid getting caught behind me.

And perhaps most amusingly, the same tow truck driver that towed me back over a week ago when my pump first died out happened to be the one to show up. His first words to me were... "Hey I thought you fixed that fuel pump?" To which I naturally replied. "So did I!" lol

Kind of a scary experience. I'm definately gonna have to find a decent aftermarket external pump.
