Only prob here is the tag's on the deck lid...so it's kinda hard to run the fuel filler hose all the way up and around with the hinge and whatnot.

not saying the failsafe shouldn't be there, but that's one of those times you probably have more serious things to worry about.

True dat! And I could always of course get a jump too. I guess I'm also thinking if the motor for some reason failed too maybe... I just seem to feel the need for some reason...IDK,maybe not...

hahahaha i was jerking a chain ............ heres a sleek idea that would make everyone say "WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING!!!!!! " take and custom make a tubing ............ i dunno how but it would be funnier than hell to watch peoples faces....... that will look like an exhaust and have it so that you can pull it out and up with a cap so you can fill the tank. people will think that you are putting fuel into your exhaust ............. HAHAHAHAH i would be rolling on the gound at a gas station to watch that

That would definetly be original It could be done

i would love to see that done and plus it would look like dual exhaust which looks soo good on this car and then it would have a clean body look and it would trip the hell outta people everytime you filled up hell i would just fill up like a gallon at a time or just go to the gasstation and not even fill up but act like i am just to see peoples faces

Wow... someone must have needed an archaeology kit to pull this out of the archives. I've actually added the tagline to most of my edits (a poor attempt at humour); I'm surprised that it hasn't been caught before in 200 or so posts (I assumed it was too low brow).
As for customized fuel doors, why not have it dilate like a camera lens and have LED's that point the way when deployed by remote control? Or, while you're at it, why not just mount it off the hood and have it face forward like the fighter jets do? Nothing like mid-air refueling!

I gotta say that exhaust thing would be freaking HILARIOUS. t he only problem would be how far you'd have to bend over to fill it up. If it wasn't for that I would probably attempt to figure out a way to do that myself, that'd be so freaking worth it for the looks on people's faces

thats why i said to have a flex piping. that way it would be able to extend upwards so you wouldnt have to bend over
