Getting Gas in NJ
I hate getting gas in NJ. Usually, they drop the cap on the car and don’t use the loop. If they don’t do that, they over-tighten the cap or do something else they shouldn’t do. I’ve tried getting out as fast as I can to set it up for them, but most of the time they’re already popping the gas door open before I can get out of the car. This past weekend topped everything though. I went to a place I go to on a regular basis and got the person that seems to be fairly careful with everything, but this time, for whatever reason, the attendant yanked at the cap and broke the loop at the end of the cord. Not having the option to pump the gas myself makes getting gas way too stressful. Sorry, had to vent.

wow.. that sucks. I don't think I have any bad story to share.
BTW, I saw you put Location: Wayne, PA/Ventnor, NJ. Do you live in South Jersey? (Ventnor, NJ). If you do, then you live too close to me

I'm in Ventnor every weekend for the majority of the year and I pass your car on the way there and back. Do you have a good place for gas in the area?

I usually fill up from the AC expressway entrance because I only put Sunoco in my car. I don't know, I just do. I put the same in my 350Z too. Sometimes I also fill up from the Sunoco in Northfield (across from Pepboys). I never had bad experience.

Wow, I didn't know anyone was still only doing full service, Thats kind of nifty though.
I'm originally from a town in Texas of 4000 people. When I was younger I worked at a local store there, people wouldn't believe me when I told them they could pump gas BEFORE they paid. |

No real mods yet, unless you consider drop in K&Ns, a cabin air filter (thanks to the370z.com DIY), and a semi-custom cargo mat mods. And don't worry...you'll probably never see it. I put it in the driveway when I get there and it stays there all weekend until I leave. |
