well i was 100mi away from my house, and luckily on the highway (we were on back country roads with no civilization for 40+ miles) when the gas was so low, IT FROZE! all the sudden my rpm's went down and my oil pressure became dangerously low so i quickly had to react and pull my car to the shoulder of the road! luckily i had my XSi with me! :p while my dad lit up some flares i got some cool pics ive never tried before:

to make a long story short, my dad and i drove all the way up to where our car was towed the next day, and i had to drive 100 mi straight by myself! (its alot when you're 16!):D

tripod, they were all over a second exposure so there was probably no way!
