Backstory - There is an issue with 356 hoods. You have to lift them up in order to release the catch that in order to lower them down. Too many - wayyy too many - gas station attendants just pushed harder when the hood refused to lower and bent the damn thing, so in the days before self serve, 356 owners were paranoid about gas station attendants bending their hoods.

We were at a gas station and the attendant was pumping the gas. She was in the driver's seat and I was frantically scurrying around, looking at the tires and checking the oil, all the while checking to make sure the attendant didn't bend my hood. Running around like that, I must have looked like some kind of nut.

At some point, the attendant went to the driver's window and asked her,
"Can I check that dipstick for you, m'am?"
"No," she said. "He's alright. He always acts like this."

LMAO! You definitely got a keeper!
