On a other car site a thread like this was started and people posted photos in it. If this is inappropriate, please let me know and I will delete my picture.
I walk into a Porsche dealership to pickup my oil filler tube.
There is a gentleman in front of me with a sweater tied around his neck. The Porsche parts employee comes out and sees the man at the counter and greets him professionally.
The sweater man inquires about a "distressed" cap he had seen in a magazine... The employee looks at man confused... He answers with, distressed ?
The two continue their conversation to clarify what...exactly qualifies as a "distressed" cap... This takes.... a long time.
I look down at my pants... I had been working on, under and around the car for a day - my pants used to be tan - they're now... not tan. They're....distressed.
I wonder if there is a market for them ?

What is the exact number of clicks the gas cap should make after refueling, some say 5, i think German engineers would require an even number. i make the gas station attendant count to 8, this ain't no BMW!
