    fuel fill location car/truck

    My car, 2005 Pontiac Vibe (Toyota Matrix) has gas cap and exhaust on Driver side. In USA makes sense to have gas cap on driver side so you keep to the right of the pump.

    What was the first rocket you ever launched?

    Cox Honest John RTF. First kit was a Centuri Astro 1. The Astro 1 is still one of my favorite Kits. I have a couple of the Semoroc "Retro-Repro" kits, and want to get a half dozen more, just to try different paint schemes.

    I have a Trojen
