Default Was fueling up the pig at the gas station* last night and this tour bus pulls up

* by gas station I mean Shell, the only approved gasoline of AoA (lol)

-and discharges it passengers like right in front of my car. Now this is a greyhound bus that was down here from Canada since the Bruins played the Canadiens last night. Anyway, as they get out, they pretty much walk right out beside my car. Well, can I just say I havent seen that much attention in a long time. Every other person was complimenting me on the car, people were taking pictures, etc. I felt like I was one of the tour stops.. (There was a hotel on the other side of the street that the tour bus was dropping them off to for the night). Anyway, felt very self-conscious getting a whole tourbus full of attention at once.. I wish it was like the Patriots cheerleaders bus instead

What's full service? Didn't that go the way of the 80's?

Default in Oregon (and NJ, IIRC), it's full-service or nothing....no self-serve.

some crap about creating jobs.

Default I always forget about this.

Was passing through Oregon this morning en route to Napa from Seattle and stopped to fill up at about 7:30. I had already swiped my card and selected my octane when the gas guy came charging out of the snack store. Totally freaked me out when he snatched the nozzle out of my hand! That plus the lame speed limits make me sad when driving through Oregon.
