Gas monkeys, just about anyone can get that job...

lol, I want to see the people that passed this bill.

No one has ever approached me about my cars. The only thing I get occasionaly is "your car is directly from germany?" after seeing the euro plate. I just say yea and be on my way.

Jordan, your car looks sick but why can't your character match the car and give them a good response instead of being a bitch about it?

im happy that i can fuel my own car. Those attendants would probably drip gas all over my car the day i let them hold the pump.

[AndrewBird]

The last few time I've filled up, I have een going to the same shell station and there is a guy there that actualy isn't a retard. He can pump gas and not spill any of it or scratch my car. And it's hard not to spill gas with my car. The filler neck is damn horizontal that I even make it overflow sometimes.

The biggest question I get asked is "Is this thing pretty fast?" I'm usually just like, "Ya, around a turn."

Here in CA we pump our own gas but while walking to my car I usually get the normal "Is your car directly from europe?" (Euro plate on front)...or I get "Is that an old M3?"

[Jand3rson]

I REFUSED to let the guys at the gas stations here put gas in my car, but I only ever go to the same one, and they got to know me pretty well, so they didn't care.

There was this one kid working there who always worked the night shift (they are open till midnight), and I would come in after I got off work at 10. Everytime he saw me coming in, he would get this big smile on his face and get the other guys' attention and motion to my car. He would ask me more and more things about it everytime, and he eventually ended up getting a really nice 325eS.

Some of the best comments I ever got:

"I heard these old BMW's are pretty slow"
"Are you running NOS/boost?"
"Why are your bumpers so huge?"
"You should come to the races tonight"

And my favorite one of all time...

"How did you modify the hood to make it open like that?"

Heh, I get those every week when I'm at the local hang-out spot w/my friends.

"Is that a SUICIDE HOOD?! HOLY $&%@!!!"

Oregon's gas thing cracks me up. But, it does give people jobs in the land of hippies and pot smoke. I pulled over once outside of Coos Bay to fill up and this circle jerk was telling me he just got out of prison the week before and how he had to work at the gas station to "pay another debt to society". Oh well. I'd rather do that than sit at home collecting welfare checks.

When I drove thru OR on my way to AK I got out of the car and grabbed the pump and started to reach for the gas cap when I suddenly heard this guy yelling "hey HEY, you can't do that, hold on!, " I was stunped and amazed when I heard that you cnouldn't pump your own gas it is F*****, and the guy proceeded to tell me that I wouldn't be abel to drive all the way up the OR cost in one day, yeah right made it to Olympia PArk in WA. piff, morons.

Man, I think every E30 owner gets that. I get that all the time.

The best part was going to have my car inspected and watching the hillbilly mechanic struggle for a good 10 minutes trying to figure out which way the hood opened. Classic. :)

Jordan, your car looks sick

Thanks

why can't your character match the car and give them a good response instead of being a bitch about it?

Why would I hold a conversation with an ignorant kid that doesn't know what he is talking about in the first place? Gas monkeys that show right away they know what the car is, and that they aren't stupid can definately get a conversation out of me. I won't waste my words on retards.

Funny how you mention about pumping gas hear in OR. I just finished deatiling a 1961 Porsche Super 90. And let me tell you this thing is an amazing car with 95hp stock. Anyway so the tank is under the hood and without even giving the guy a chance to pump this pristine car I take the nozzle and fill her up myself knowing full well how to NOT get fuel on the paint or rubber.

I'll get some pics of the car up soon. It was amazing.
