Correct fuel cap with star
« on: June 17, 2025, 22:42:47 »
Driving along today on the highway and heard a small metallic noise.  Looked back, and saw something shiny and silver bouncing behind me.  You guessed it.  My original gas cap.  Yup.  Anyone have a good one with keys that I might persuade them to part with?

Thank you!

Go right back and look for it.  Can't be that hard to find again.
They are big $$$ if you find the correct one with the star and keys.

I did.  Multiple times, in fact.  I even found a balled up piece of tinfoil.  The issue is that it is one of the busiest stretches of highways in our area, where it’s just passed a bridge with three lanes merging into two, I was in the passing lane, and that means it’s in the median. I’ve been able to look on the shoulder, and it’s not there. I’ve got a friend who is a state policeman, and he told me that if I get caught in the median looking, that is a significant fine as it’s definitely something that might cause an accident.  Believe me, I’ve looked hard.

Thank you to all.  My son was able to retrieve the lost gas cap when the highway was mowed (directed not to, but did it anyway).  Damage negligible!
