Ferrari Mailing List: Re: F355 GTS Sale- Strong!

[Rick Moseley (ramosel]

No problems Peter, I tend to read my emails the other way and do the same thing.

Keyword:  Truck

I remember reading about this coming in an SAE journal years ago.  When they adopted the convention, trucks - both private and commercial - were excluded as often they have multiple fuel tanks and on both sides.  I don't think it was ever a regulation, just something the auto makers adopted.

As trucks have become more comfort and less utilitarian, many, but not all, have applied this convention to their trucks too.  I was in a fairly new (Tier 4 final/ISX) Peterbilt a few weeks ago with a buddy and it had arrows on both sides...  which, really is useless unless you know which tank is being used.

Sorry Rick, I read my list mail from oldest to newest and didn’t see this reply of yours when I just posted mine.

 

So, out of the four cars I own, only two have the gas station pump pictograms on the fuel gauge and one of them is wrong. My GM pick up shows the filler hose on the right side on the gauge, yet the door is on the driver’s side... The two cars that don’t have the pictograms are the Ferraris!

Easy... on cars made the last 25+ years

look at your gas gauge.

See the little pump on the gauge.

There is an arrow next to it pointing the side of the car you filler is on.

Or, if there is no arrow, look at which side of the little gas pump the hose is on and that will be your filler side.  

If there is no pump on your gauge, congrats on keeping an old car going that long, mistakes are forgiven.  No points off your manly man card.

The Battle of the Rants!!!!

 

Anthony's post was hilarious...

 

To be fair to the Lambo dude, I usually forget which side the gas tank is on if I'm distracted in one of my cars. Seems like they are always the opposite to the car I just drove the day before.

 

No excuses on the fuel filler release though. That's basic Volkswagen 101 interior knowledge.

Well, he bought a 348.....  ;-)

 

But his rant did make me laugh (sincerely).  I thought it was funny they way he tried to string all the brevity codes together.  But hey, if we dish it out, we gotta take it too.

 

Onto the car and the price...   What was the motivation to spend that kind of coin on a 26 year old car with known valve and manifold issues and potentially gooey interior.  There is a guy in the hoity-toity development behind me that just picked up a 2014 458 with 12,000 miles for $225K out the door.   And, it was already registered in California.

 

Speaking of the hoity-toity community and CA registration...  I'd had been introduced this complete ASS last year who lives up there.  The gunite guy brought him by to see our recently finished pool remodel.  I ran into him last week at our (1 and only) gas station in town.  He drove up in his just delivered 2002 Murcielago (sp?  never sure about the i&e after C when it's pronounced "th").  He bought the Lambo from a gent in Wyoming for $315K and the seller paid to ship it out.   He's going to get it registered in California...  Good luck with that.  After he told me all the "cool stuff" on it and looking at the (LOUD) Fiammenghi exhaust, the French emissions sticker and the "deleted" cats... if it ever had them...  he's probably going to have to park it 2 states away or it's going to get seized once the DMV gets wind of a Grey Market car in CA.   But after he puffed up his chest and started bragging to the station attendant, I also offered that he needed to turn the car around, the gas filler was on the other side.  I went on to our (1 and only) hardware store and as I came back by, he had moved the car but was sitting on the driver's side Rocker with what looked like the owner's manual in his hand.  My guess is he was trying to figure out where the fuel filler door release was.

Believe them all.  He is always right because he has balls.  You will never understand what it takes to always be right, even when you are wrong.  You would pee yourself on a cat launch in your non-Ferrari. Fox 1 kill...or something.
