I left my fuel door open, I didn't even close the fuel cap! 
I thought this could never happen to me
Luckily I noticed it before I got to an open road where people could see it.
Has anyone else done this so I can feel better?

Don't worry. Not the end of the world. You might have given a few Floridians a good laugh -- and made it much easier for the 5-0 to spot you on their BOLO/APB from the petrified owner of the new 7 you photographed.

Never. Sorry bro. I'm too paranoid so I always double check.

I can't believe I missed it. I think the reason I did was because my sister asked if she could drive my car home from the gas station and that made me so nervous I must have forgotten to close it

That can't happen on the LCI. If you leave the fuel cap off or the door open the car won't start and you get a little picture on the Nav screen of a fuel cap with a red bar through it.
Just kidding.

I doubt anybody noticed Marc. All those seniors driving around with their turn signals permanently on heading to Walgreen's have other things on their minds. Like, "Why did they move Walgreen's? I swear it was right here last week." --Calvin
