Today while we were running errands, we decided to go to a pick and pull lot to see if they had a gas door for our car. (For those of you who haven't noticed the giant black hole on the side of our car, our gas door has been missing for nearly a year.) I had never been to a pick and pull and was amazed at the rows and rows of crappy smashed up cars. That and the people that own the lot were very interesting. The man who told us where to find what we were looking for looked like a Z Z Top wannabe. Anyway, every pick and pull lot Matt has gone to has not had any Ford Focuses. Until... today! We found a lot that had 2 silver Fords with their gas doors in tact. All we needed was a screwdriver and some skillfull prying to get what we needed. Now we can't be made fun of because of our gas door. : )
Before
The part. (Sorry other silver Ford. The car we pulled this from was basically gutted and was pretty smashed up.)
Fixed! Doesn't it look nice? Let's hope this one doesn't blow off on the freeway!

so bummed we missed the campout! looks like it was a success once again! and glad you found a gas cover for your car! :)
matty isn't there something in your owner's manual about regeneration of gas covers? undo the seatbelt three times, then start the car nine times, then put it in reverse, then engage your left turn signal, then press the brake, then turn on the radio and turn it off, then adjust your side view mirrors, then shift into drive twice and all of a sudden a new gas cover appears.
You guys should have taken both of the gas doors. Always good to have back up. Sorry Tim didn't come through with a brand new door for ya. We miss you guys.
