The dealership called me today to inform me that there is gasoline in the tank, that the tank must be siphoned and "many parts" replaced for an estimated $3,000 that will not be covered by the warranty (obviously). I had it towed to the dealership as it's under warranty for these sorts of things. Not knowing anything about cars, I freaked out, turned around and drove home. Two miles into our trip, my check engine light came on. I swiped my card at the pump, filled my tank to the top, I declined a receipt because I didn't want another piece of paper in my wallet for the duration of my vacation, and away we. Two weeks ago, I got ready to go on a weekend vacation. I read about how many, many stupid people have forgotten and put gasoline in their tanks and paid very hefty repair bills. I drive a diesel Volkswagen and always be extra careful to put diesel in the car. Put me in front of a computer and I can tinker for days, but something about my dad always trying to force me into the garage to watch him and his buddies drink beer and turn ratchets made it never really "click" for me. I am trying to avoid getting shafted here, so this is kind of a last resort.
