Deja VW?
OMG! Today after seeing Million Dollar Baby (which was absolfuckinglutely wonderful) I stopped at the gas station to get some...well, gas. Anyway. I pull in and swipe my card through the card thingy and was waiting to authorize. It goes through and I reach to press the gas type...SHIT! I almost...almost I remind you....put diesel in my car. Six years ago in June I had only had my beautiful VW Passat about a month. It was a hot summer day. My A/C was blowing and my friend and I were heading out to do some shopping. I pull up to the gas station, leave the car running (it was hot, ya know) and put a FULL TANK OF DIESEL in my car. *Sidenote. My car is NOT A DIESEL.* I about died. I had to have my car towed to the dealership, tank drained and fuel system flushed. Fortunately, it only cost me $175...and a lot of embarrassment. However, today...it did make me chuckle today.

sounds like its a 'sign' for you to get yourself a car that runs on diesel... what car do you drive now? the same as 6 years ago?
Yes...same car. I think I heard her eek as I went to grab the pump. (Yes...it's a she. "Venus" -Goddess of a mountaintop...burnin' like a silver flame!)
Doesn't the diesel pump bigger, so we don't make that mistake? I've been there, done that, but I've always been saved because my tank's hole was too small [get your mind out of the gutter].
