Amusing gas pump graphics fail
Graphic designer for gas station pumps gets great idea to use 911 as the profile car. Then gets bad idea that gas cap is in rear.

It probably has a fuel cell in the back seat...

Either that, or it's a *very rare* front wheel drive conversion car.

It would be interesting to find out what percentage of cars have the gas tank in the front. I bet it is a small percentage. Of course that graphic is just something to display. I hope they are not thinking that graphic is instructional. I saw that graphic a lot in Savannah, GA area.

That same graphic is used at Flying J stations in Utah. I always had to laugh a little when I was filling up the front of my 911. A swing and a miss, but at least it is the iconic Porsche profile we get to look at.

If I had a '72 I'd avoid this gas station like the plague!
