eccerr0r All-Star Author Fort Collins Posts:991 Points:594,615 Joined:Apr 2011	Message Posted: Apr 19, 2013 4:53:52 AM Ignore eccerr0r Report Abuse Both my 2003 Subaru and 1995 Jeep are controlled from a lever on the floor by the driver door. I would have thought most cars are something like this now, It would be interesting if people would also indicate what car and how old... Honestly I don't care either way actually, but I can see that the way my cars are set up, it makes it that much harder to steal or vandalize (like adding polystyrene or sucrose) gas on my cars.
