Try it here in Northern Mexico, where they no speekee too!  Si senor, pero puedo hablar Espanol un poco. (No accent marks, "enyehs" etc as I'm lazy with the keyboard tonight!) Geno PS, You folks getting your fill of rain yet?

I remember back in the 60's when it was stylish to hide the gas filler hole under tail lights, license plates, etc. I had a '71 Nova with it under the license plate. The problem was that in that year, the plate was below the bumper which made the filler too low. You didn't want to be behind it when the nozzle clicked off because it would always splash on your legs.
I think the govt put an end to having the filler in the rear of the vehicle because it would piss gas if you got rear-ended. Not a good thing to have gasoline squirting out of the rear of the vehicle during a collision.

Most that I've seen, have a marker by the fuel gauge to indicate which side you should pull up on. A lot of good that does. Who the hail could make heads or tails of all the damned hieroglyphs all up and down and across the dashboard these days? It's no wonder we gotta have rumble strips carved in the roadways where painted lines used to be. Everybody is so busy trying to cipher all the codes to operate all the gadgetry they ain't got time to look out and HAVE to drive by braille.

After scanning over the Drudge Report this morning, I'll think I'll worry about something else. Word.

With all of the attention given to accidents caused by drivers distracted by their cell phones, what about the ones caused by drivers distracted by their dashboards?
