The day I bought mine, I had to put gas in it. Here I was in BFNowhere Oregon, having bought the car 12 miles prior, unable to find the switch. Of course the gas jockey was witness to my debacle because OR requires i not pump myown gas... so he laughed for 10 mins as I tried find the switch, then once I did to figure out how to get the fuel door switch to push in, or flick side to side, and finally as i read the manual and realized it was a pull, I was feeling a complete idiot by then. The victory "Yaay!" he gave didn't help me much there. I felt dumb. Really, really dumb.

The first time I filled my S2000, I had to read the owners manual to find the switch.

first time i filled up, i called the dealer, nobody knew where the switch was, so i had to drive home and look on the internet since at that point i didnt know about the secret compartment where my manuals were. reat experience, just lucky that i was at the gas station a mile away from my house.

A coworker's friend was taking his brother's S2000 out for a spin and drove up to the valley. At the end of the evening, the car was out of gas and they were at a gas station and could not figure out how to open the fuel door release.

Even knowing I had an S2000, they didn't call me because it was really late. So the guy had to sleep over until he could call his brother to find out how to open the $&^(* fuel door. I had a good laugh when I hear about it the next day.
