   That was my 1970 Firebird, which you needed to kneel down to put the   
   nozzle in the tank. When I started the pump, I still had my head close to   
   the gas tank...never again.

   Heh! If you think that's bad, GM, Ford and Chrysler used to make their   
   brake lines out of the same ferrous metal. If you see a rusted out clunker   
   going down the road, then chances are the brake lines are just as rusty.
