Is this a 911?

Putting gas in my camper in Healdsburg Ca. when I glanced at the pump and had to do a double take. This looks a lot like a 911 with the gas filler in the wrong place. Nice to know they sell beer for the road too.

Yes, that's definitely a 911. Weird, the bumpers look like a bellows bumper car, but it looks like they're putting gas in the oil tank of a '72, and for some reason, the oil tank is on the wrong side of the car. I'm so confused!

I laughed at that too when I filled up at a Sunoco when visiting family in the east. Putting gas into that area of a 911 is sure to cause a fire.

There is a billboard with an ad for a Kia dealership around here where they have a little picture of a cartoon convertible car and they stick the face of a new person who bought a kia on the sign once every few months.

For one... I don't think Kia makes any convertibles. And two- the car is clearly a cartoonized clipart version of a 996 cab... :-)
