My Quattro was doused by 40 gallons of gasoline!!!!!!

OK, I've had a bad night..........................................

I was at the gas station filling up the Coupe Q with super unleaded and
suddenly the gas hose burst where it mounts to the pump,,,,which is 4 feet
above and 2 feet over from my car.  SO, I find myself being showered by
gasoline at high pressure....this is not good.
I start screaming to the intercom for them to shut off the gas, and after not
understanding my screaming and pointing for about 120 seconds, the attendant
figures out that something is not right at pump #7.  Then the attendant tells
me she doesn't know where the pump cut off is (hello, OSHA, did you hear that
one!).  After searching for another 90-120 seconds, I FIND THE SWITCH!  Once
the gas was finally switched off, I seen my car SOAKING WET IN GAS, and my
girlfriend Breeze still in the car looking puzzled at me.  So, i see her sit
in the drivers seat and try and start it (she didn't quite know what had
happened.  I started screaming: DON'T TURN ON THE CAR!  Finally she heard
me....

For the next hour, I was at the gas station washing my car, while I was
supposed to me at MY BIRTHDAY dinner!  The fire department showed up and made
a big deal about it all and told me I was lucky to be alive (I don't think it
was that bad).

NOW, the regional manager of the gas station is going to call me tomarrow,
what should I ask for?  The interior smells a little like gas, and I washed
the hell out of the Coupe and think I saved the paint (I will know for sure
in the morning).  I will probably ask for a paint detail and a steam clean of
the interior.  What do you all think?
