[RANT] When I drive from Washington to California, I try hard to make it without stopping for gas in Oregon because they've got the same silly law. I didn't realize that it was just to reduce unemployment. I suppose that's great that they are creating jobs for the under qualified and all, but I resent being forced to pay for something that I would happily do myself. It's like those grocery store baggers than insist on carrying your groceries to your car for you. I really don't mind pushing that cart myself, and I'll even bag my own groceries. [/RANT]

Sorry to hear about your VX. I would definitely find a GOOD mechanic that you feel very comfortable with. Most Isuzu dealers SUCK and just about any good mechanic can do an engine swap and handle an insurance claim. If you were in Maryland I could offer a couple of suggestions, but I don't know anyone in 'Joisey.

New Jersey's gas pumping law was passed in 1949 for safety concerns. Oregon is the only other state to have a similar law. Why the laws remain today, when pumping your own gas is fairly safe and common, probably has more to do with people losing jobs and the difficulties in changing something that has been effect for so long.

I live in a small community in Pennsylvannia, 2 minutes from New Jersey, and we must have a local law or something, because none of the stations in town let you pump your own gas. Everywhere else I've been in PA I can pump my own gas.

I find it a pain to wait for an attendant, and avoid getting gas in my town, but my wife likes the convenience.

Either way it seems like it was the delivery driver that messed up Buff's VX.
