I hit one of those in an in-lowered miata, up in Canada, put a big gouge in my under panel. Another Canadian station that I stopped at on that trip, the click off on the filler nozzle didn't click off as I was inside the station taking a leak.

There was about a 40 liter gas puddle surrounding my car. The dude tried to charge me for 80 liters ........ I paid him for 35 liters and pushed my car out of the puddle and drive off.



Lesson learned: Don't leave your car when you are refueling ........

@Cole @Tcoat ........ is that a Canadian trick to sell more gas ...... ??

Actually the ride height is perfect just gotta angle.
lol I've never thought twice about leaving my car when pumping gas.
