    I knew it had to be the Mexicans that were responsible! Why can't they keep their weather in their own country?

    That pic was taken at the Pilot in Madera Ca. The fuel island is a little tight getting out of on the end which is where that pump is. What I think happened is that somebody was backing up to either get out or trying to get his front end to clear. I went over and inspected the pump and there was no paint or fiberglass anywhere.

    Here's my theory.

    The driver figured out how to get diesel for $0.70 a gallon. Check out the price on the pump.

    Genius.

    The bigger question is what in the hell happened to that bollard behind it? Looks like one of those Pillsbury dough tubes that you pop open.

    Probably was threatened about talking about it. OR it was her boyfriend, husband or S/O that hit it.

    Well, I heard that the pump started it, but ended up with the worst of the fight!

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned that a Swift driver may have taken it out. Usually they like taking fuel pumps out-with spectacular results!!
    (Singing in the Ohio Players voice)Fire!!!lmao
    Either that, or that Flying J must've brought back the BBQ chicken pizza and someone was in a rush to get the last two pieces for $5!lmfao

    K&B tried to get back at the pump but those pesky yellow poles thwarted his attempt with ease

    Did somebody say fire at the pump? lol

    Pumps in spiceland were shut down couple of months ago because this one burned up in the fuel lane.

    Good thing I plan my stops before I'm on fumes.
