Default Funny warning message on dash
Last night I was driving my car home and on the center display it said "tighten gas cap". errrrr..... So I am calling the dealer first thing this morning and bitching them out, apparently they delivered my car without one.

I stopped and opened the gas cover and closed it again and it didn't come back on. Just thought it was kind of funny.

Yeah, you can get a check engine light from a loose gas cap on most cars... kinda funny being the vette has no cap

You might want to review your manual that came with the car. It is full of all kinds of good info!!

I think that is funny.
Tell the dealer and they will spend hours trying to find a gas cap for you. That would be even funnier.

Let them know they delivered it without a back seat, too.

While you are at it, tell them they also left out the spare tire and jack.

No emergency brake handle! I'll probably die from that!

Real men don't read manuals. Not EVER.

We push and pull things until we get the result we want.
If we don't get any results it must be broken.

Simple

The way you've got your ride set up, if there was a cap it would've melted off!

Lol it probably would have gotten sucked into the tank with how much fuel my car is sucking into the motor.

What I think is even funnier is some of these replies some of you really think i'm serious thinking I'm missing my gas cap and just noticed it after 2 1/2 years.

"Irony" is a word that is lacking in many of the Forumites vocabulary.
