Fuel Filler cap is on new car

Gearknob lives on in the Sierra Even that got badly scratched though!

There was a spare GT35 sitting in the back pretty much unsecured as well how that didn't kill one of us I will never know!

Great picture Strange memories...

Must have taken the driver fucking hours with his little form where they detail all the damage on the vehicle when they recover it and make you sign for it so you cant claim they scratched it etc

Would have been easier to list what was ok:

Four wheels nuts. Check.
Gearknob, slightly scratched. Check.
Everything else. Fooked
