Anyone miss going to the gas station to fill up?

I'm calling TROLLLLLLLLLL here

Every so often I have had to drive my wife's car and that friggen thing requires liquid dead dinosaur stuff. I have literally forgotten how to use those stupid pumps.

Oh, I forgot; I fixed the problem. Her MS will be here 9/6.

OK

NO!

drive a gas truck for work, it sucks

had to drive gas car for 1 week during my 1 year S service. Sucked majorly. I waited in line to get gas and when I got to the pump the gas door wouldn't open??? WTF. So I had to pull out of the spot I just waited for to figure out that a fuse is bad and I need the key on to pop the fuel door, or trunk even!

+ just to go get gas in the car I needed to put a new battery in the car! Luckily it was still barely under full warranty from Costco by 1 month! yay

anyone looking for a 2002 lexus LS430 in CA, I used to think it was 'nice', now it is only nice to sit in in the driveway

I miss those windshield squeegee/scrubber combo buckets. My windshield is so dirty all the time. :frown:

But I deal with the suffering.

So I am in BadA** and we pull up to the 7-11 to return a Redbox video. In the forecourt is, of course, pumps. I decide to drive between two pumps to head to the video return. At this precise moment, the 6 year old (whose head is never out of the cockpit) perks up - "Hey, I thought this thing didn't need gas"

Priceless.

LOL!

I had to go get diesel for the tractor, no one even blinked an eye, but in NH i don't think people know electric cars exist.
I had someone ask me if that was an 8.5 liter the other day.

What I DO miss is the sound of this:



Some engines should forever be heard. Back story, met that guy on the highway, we stopped, talked and traded for a bit.

I'll visit the museum one day.

As the kids would say... "uh, duh!"

My only relationship with gas stations now is waving good-bye to them and reminding my wife of every $100 I save... :-D

What's a "gas station" again?

Haven't been to a gas station for gas at least since March 2012. Don't miss it at all.

Is that the place that sells the slurpees?

What is "gas" again?

Every once in a while I have to buy some gasoline for my snowblower or lawnmower. Yes, I drive up to the pump in my Model S, pull a container out of the trunk, and fill 'er up.

(I actually do most of my lawn cutting with a robotic electric mower, but I've yet to see a usable electric snowblower.)

All electric here... including snowblower. (I know... wimpy Toronto winters :smile

I miss the smell of gas.

That's where you get ice and lottery tickets when you don't want to go all the way to the grocery store.

Ah, I don't ever purchase either of those things so no wonder I'm not familiar.

You know, I realized the other day that I hated stopping for gas so much I would wait until I was almost empty. That caused me to have range anxiety with my ICE, not my Model S.

I love this thread!

But on a serious note, my wife still has to deal with the pump.
Me? Been 9 weeks since I've waited in line for that privilege and smell.

So I'm feeling guilty... Need to take care of the wife now. X is on the horizon.
