Looks like this new 918 owner had an awful experience at the gas station.
Jalopnik has the story, apparently the driver started to move away from the pump + still had the nozzle attached to the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The fuel filler is in the area near the sail pillar, and the twin hot exhaust exits are up top of the engine grille. |

DONOR CAR! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
Seriously though, what a douche nozzle, who buys a car like that then uses a gas station squeegee to clean off a fuel spill... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) If you know sh_t about cars and you buy a $1mil car....why are you pumping your own gas? Imagine if there was full service and the gas attendant did this? Full service? ....I must be getting old.... |

Full service? ....I must be getting old.... If I had that car I'd hate the idea of letting someone else fill the tank. I hate it when I'm in Oregon and have to trust the job to someone who doesn't care nearly as much about my car as I do. This guy may not have been paying careful attention, but I'm not sure it's inspired design for the fuel fill point to be so close to a hot exhaust source. |
