Neither do I.  Anyone who does this kind of nonsense shouldn't be allowed
to buy/operate any kind of vehicle without familiarizing themselves where
things are on that vehicle.

Reminds me of a business acquaintance (lives in South Dakota) that bought a
*BRAND NEW* F*rd F350 Super Duty with the fancy diesel engine and filled
the tank with gasoline at the station less than 4 hours of leaving the
dealership.  He honestly thought he had filled with diesel until the
attendant pointed out to him the pump clearly said gasoline and the credit
card slip showed the pump number as well.  Needless to say, he had to have
the truck towed back to the dealer for a thorough clean-out and paid
through the nose, 'cause the warranty doesn't cover stupidity.  He's a bit
out there, so in way I wasn't surprised.
