Story:
Coming back from Fuquay-Varina I get some gas right outside of town. A few minutes later I start to hear a knock, but I assume its just the sound of the hood vibrating to a different tune...its a damn beaten to shit car haha. Check Engine line comes on and I pay that no mind, because every time the Celica is on a trip at high speeds (past 60) as the MAF on Celica's are known for the faulty MAF sensor and it always trips when there is so much airflow.
I got home and popped the hood to hear the knock continue. Checked the oil and she was dry as hell, which was strange considering I topped her off about a month and half ago and there have been know leaks what so ever; that I've checked for. Knocking seemed smoother after putting more oil in, so I took it for a trip to New Bern (30miles). Got about 10 miles out and heared her dying and losing power...popped her in neutral and she lost all power. Towed her back to my place and here she is.
SOOO bad gas or dry motor? I can't imagine the motor being fully try...just doesn't make sense. I tried siphoning the fuel, but I damn nearly puked and definitely got stoned off my ass. Can't get the tube (thin) deep enough into the tank to drink fuel off the bottom, plus she low as shit...hard to get lower than a tank that sits on the ground.
Thanks for any help!

hahaha yeah that was with the original motor and transmission...both have been replaced since. No real burnouts in 80K+ miles...but a whole hell of of lot of 6.5K shifts. haha
