| Lock on gas lid was loose. i didn't think too much about it until i ran the car through a car wash. the air from the dryer popped the lid open and it went flying through the air. lid is fiber glass and it didn't take much to break it. i saw another bug last week with the gas lid gone too! *jb | |||
