No one knew that? I guess everyone's different...it took me exactly 1 trip to the gas station to find mine. Weird. BTW, my TA is a 98.

The only problem is my strap isn't long enough. It doesn't even come close. I think in JRP's FAQ it said that 98 was the only year the strap was long enough.

Yep, my 2000 had one until it snapped off after sliding into a shrub....stupid ice. Mine never really was quite long enough either....it would work, but more times than not it would fall off and smack the side of the car.

lol, that's the first thing I noticed when filling my gas up after I bought the car. Mine does not have a cord, but on the inside of the door there is a little holder for the cap to sit in.

I noticed it the first time I filled my car up too. There's no other reason for that little plastic piece to be there

I thought it was there so when you close it it wont make a loud noise. I didnt know it was to hold the cap!

I never noticed that thing on my car before. But maybe that's because....

I DON'T GOT ONE!

What I do have is a slightly different design: (and mine don't whack the car)

That's what mine has. It hangs away from the car.

I thought everyone knew that. It's 98's only but you can retrofit one if you're inclined to.
