I have a hard enough time remembering which side of the car has the gas cap. Owning the Mazda screwed me up for awhile.

I am renting an interesting car here in CA as I came down to attend my niece's HS graduation... I will provide details when I get back north, but.... When I arrived at SFO, the choices of cars for me was kind of odd. I had my choice of several Tesla's and this beast (a hybrid BTW). I took the hybrid. It is the last car I expected to be available with that style powertrain.

Spoiler alert... IT is not a good car. LOL
