The funniset part of all is even if you know where it is it's hard to find! Anyone else have this problem too?

I still forget to pop the lid before getting out of the car. I have to walk back around and do it every time.

Hehe, I had the same problem with the top. If you don''t have the emergency break set the top won't work. Had to break out the manual in the rain to figure it out the first time

Muz,

Hah!

We don't have to walk around when we forget. Our gas tank is on the "REAL" driver's side.

BTW, are you going to make it to S2kDays next month? I'll pay half your trip if you can get 2 center court front-row seats to the next Australian Open Tennis tourney. j/k!

only silly thing i did was when trying to reset the trip, accidentally switched from mph to km/h. It was when I noticed the odometer reading, I was like, wow, when did I exceed 600 miles.

We don't have to walk around on this side of the pond...

The fuel flap is on the Driver (left) side.

But then again, we don't get blue

I am also not worthy...

Couldn't quite figure out how to put the car in reverse... thought it was like a beamer, where you have to push the stick all the way to the left to get into reverse - thought it was the same with the Stook (all the way to the right). Stupid me, the car kept rolling forward (I was on a hill). Finally had to pull out the manual and read it.

Who needs a manual when you can get more info. from this board

!!!

Woof!!!

I was lucky and happened to put the owner's manual back in the day before I had to fill up for the first time. I looked like a moron....looking for it. There was a cute girl, maybe 21 years old that came over to look at the car. I eventually had to explain to her that I was looking in the manual to find the release.

Me, being the Honda expert that I am....decided to forgo the overview when I took delivery
