I know there were quite a few times that I pulled in, got out, and realized the tank was on the other side. 
People probably thought I was an idiot. Why can't it just be the same on all cars??

D A Move # 1-Got into HHR to move out of driveway to put Impala in. Put key in ignition-doesn't turn-thought o'crap ignition broken-but no-finally realize Impala key in HHR.
D A Move # 2-Get keys from other pocket while still in HHR. Put key in ignition-doesn't turn-thought o'crap ignition broken-but no-after fiddling with the steering wheel & then the key release button-finally realize Cobalt key in HHR.
D A Move # 3-Couldn't find HHR keys & Had to go to store, changed shorts, grabbed extra set of HHR keys & put them on the table-phone rings-get off phone, got outside into HHR, put hand in pocket of shorts just put on-pull out HHR keys-use them-and then realize they were the original keys I was looking for and left the spare set on the table. DOH!
Thus making the triple play of stupidity.

Doesn't Chevy now use the same kind of key for nearly every one of their cars?? It's understandable how you could get mixed up. My last car was a Buick Regal, then when I got the HHR, it had the same type of key as my mom's Impala, and I have all of my keys on the same keychain. I had to take off the key to her Impala because I could never tell the difference between the keys...
When I'm in the Impala I always have to make the gas pump rotation because the gas fill is on the left and usually I am already out of the car-DOH!
My 85 Delta 88 RWD still had it behind the license plate. It really pissed people off because I always had to take the space of 2 pumps with the galactic land cruiser. Teenagers would stare and try and figure out where the gas was going.

Not the same but I stood there laughing while my husband tried to but a 6 speed into reverse by going all the way right and down.... now if you think he was trying to put it into 6th gear so it obviously wasn't going to work.
He sat there for about 10 minutes fighting with it thinking that something broke and then I laughed and told him it wasn't the talon and he realized he was being an idiot.
