The Volt won’t move if the electrical cord is still plugged in. Considering most will hardly ever need to visit a gas station there may be more of a possibility of the scenario posted above than with your average ICE gas guzzler…LOL
Is that just a bad picture, or is it raining? If it’s raining then what’s really wrong is none of those drivers turned on their headlights/taillights.
I wouldn’t worry about the gas pump. They’re designed with beemer-bobos in mind. It wouldn’t be a Buick driver. Most Buicks (and other GM cars) until recently had the fuel filler on the driver’s side, and older drivers were taught early on to check their rear view mirror before hitting something.
Yup: Years ago I drove home from Fargo, ND, to Minneapolis in a 1987 Ford Escort Pony dragging the pump handle and hose. The car was such a base model that it didn’t have a passenger side mirror for me to notice the pump nozzle.
I’ve got to imagine that if this isn’t photo-shopped, that there’s a big “clunk” or such as the hose separates. How can you not notice, even if you are clueless ?
Hey, isn’t this one of those BMW 7-Series Hydrogen cars? I’d hate to see what’s left of the fuel station, might make the Zeppelin look like a burnt marshmallow.
I don’t see anything amiss other than a lot of folks rarely check their passenger side rear view mirror as they drive.
Or a woman.
It should be a Mercedes or Cadillac.
Not really. Just another brainless Beemer Buffoon.
Or an Avalon, Grand Marquis, or any Buick.
My mechanic has this on the wall by the front door, with the caption “Come on, admit it – someone you know just came to mind.”
I think that could be posted next to the exit door where I work. “As a friendly reminder…!” LOL
How long before we see a Volt with the same caption?

Now there’s a shot you’ll never see in an Ultimate Driving Machine ad.
Or maybe…
Its the ONLY shot ya gonna see in a Ultimate Driving Ad.. or JOY as what is being advertised now.
Just goes to reinforce…
People don’t drive these damn cars.

I’m guessing that the driver also didn’t notice a digital readout on his dash that said something like “filler door open”.

They really don’t make that much noise when the disconnect happens.
Agreed, theoretically you’d hear a ‘thunk’ inside the car, but with the car running and the tunes on, most people don’t seem to notice.
It’s hard enough to make the payments on the Bimmer, then they want three damn dollars a gallon for the gas too….
It had to be a Bimmer driver right? I hang my head in shame!
@Juniper
Just an FYI. Beemer is the motorcycle, Bimmer is the car. What was that comment again?
Oops my mistake
