A couple of those videos actually made me just slightly sick to the stomach.

At least in that first video with the F-650, it had a backup camera. Too bad that was in addition to, instead of a replacement for those HUGE rearview side mirrors!!!

The first time I ever saw a gas pump showing over $100 worth of gas, I took a photo of it. That was years ago.

I also once had to borrow money from my dad to buy gas. He loaned me a $100 bill. I put less than $20 in my tank. When I paid for it, the clerk punched in one too many zeros, he couldn't figure out how to void/adjust it, and decided to just fix the books at the end of the day, so I had a receipt for something like $982 in change.
