Sugar in my Camaro

So I guess someone has a problem with me or something or they just hate that I have my Camaro. But this morning I go to car and I am about to leave when I notice a whole bunch of white powder on the left side of my Camaro. I always look over it to make sure no has door ding. I call my insurance company (usaa) and they tell that I need to get it towed to the nearest dealership well the nearest dealership is Marine Chevy in Jacksonville North Carolina, I really do not trust these guys but then again I really do not trust anyone in this city. Man I had to push the car on to the flat bed which left many finger prints on my baby. I HATE HAVING HER GONE I FEEL LIKE SOMETHING IS MISSING. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO I AM GOING CRAZY. Please Help me survive the next couple of days...

Sugar in the gas tank is a real bitch move. If someone has a problem, they should just say it to your face, not screw with your shit.

Are you sure there is even any in the tank? Just curious since the fuel door is on the right side and not the left.

Sorry to hear that.

That being said, I think the paint can handle a few fingerprints...and maybe even some rain & dirt.

That f'n sucks!!!

After we had some idiot move in across the street as a roomate, he would talk sh!t about the two Camaro's on my driveway.

Locking gas caps were in my future.

Exactly the reason I opted for the chrome locking fuel door.

Old wives tale...

They tried this on Mythbusters and it doesn't do anything.

Locking gas cap or remote release would have been nice design though. My wife's Honda Civic has a remote release so why not any new car?

Well I did check my fuel door and it seemed cleaned but I then called my insurance company to ask if they would cover it. Well If i did not bring the car in I would not be covered if there was sugar in the gas tank. So I got a flat bed complements of chevy and had it dropped off at the nearest Chevy dealership. I have no idea how long I will be without my baby.........
