My Sicilian family resents that remark, "Mafia Release Handle" cause when we put you in the trunk you are not able to pull or do anything. Forget about it!!!!!!!

Love a good Cannoli, after 23 years in the Desert I finally found a place that makes Cannoli like it is in NY, by a New Yorker pizza maker. Who says you can't mix business with pleasure (Cannoli).

The first day I had my Camaro it took me 15 minutes at the Shell station to figure out how to open the gas door. I was looking all over the drivers door, along the drivers seat area, the dash....all the while people were looking at the hot car and the idiot driver.

Luckily my dealer showed me before leaving the lot..."Thanks Phil!".

My first fill-up was the same, except it was after I backed the car out and put the pump on the right side of the car instead of the left.

Same exact thing happened to me years ago with my cts. I was not prepared for the "push to open" fuel door

If you are driving along with your radio off and your windows up, your camaro may, all on its own, connect to onstar and play a commercial about the fact that you have access to turn by turn etc just for driving enjoyment.

Happened to me. True story.

Well why didn't anyone just use the key to ope...... oh yeah.

Nevermind.
