The rumors of sugar in my tank may be exaggerated.

You sure you weren't failed by your overly cheerful demeanor. They have a test for that and can sometimes be mistaken for a defective fuel cap.

I see that Suncoast has a nice steel gas cap "sport edition" for $150.

When you own an Audi Allroad, you quickly learn to ignore the CEL.

I cleared it before I went in for inspection, but it didn't matter.

I'll go back, take a pic, and ask him how many gas caps he has to sell to pay the rent.
I used several testers over the years when I lived In CA...never saw a gas cap shop.

As RR said; "Trust but verify" !

Pops is far too creative to use "sugar in the gas tank"...

I am certain what Larry would do if he saw an open gas filler on a P!g...

Since when is Divot allowed to start a "I have the X issue in my p!g" thread?

What's next?

Some rude newbie starting a thread titled "I picked up my new exhaust last night from customs and it was scratched"?

The PP moderator is slipping.

I'd offer to have Larry "clean things up a bit", but I'm pretty sure I know how the Admin would react ...

I certainly hope the inhabitants of the P!g Pen realize how lucky they were in having Sir Mudman2 moderate their little Pen ... they could have done MUCH worse

do it! It's a true classic indeed.

Larry's BBQ was burning 24/7.
Kooser had not been Koosered yet, Uwe was (almost) alive, the resident bartender was still serving and Pops hadn't become a true blonde yet. (I swear, that last statement, I had forgotten about. Really )

Further investigation betrays the 'true blond' part. You don't want to see.

Have you tried sticking your finger across the battery terminals of a Cayenne Hybrid?
