We had a very pleasant time last night celebrating my mother-in-law’s birthday. Surprisingly she turned just 18 yesterday, or at least that’s what she tells us.
On the way home I heard a slight thud and saw something dart off from the side of our car. “Was it or wasn’t it” I thought.
I kept an eye in the rearview mirror and sure enough a few seconds later a dark frisbee like object rocketed across the road behind us. I stopped the car, got out, and checked to see that we had indeed lost a hubcap. I drove back and we picked up the shattered piece of plastic that used to be our front driver’s side hubcap.
The two passenger side hubcaps were stolen a few weeks ago in the dead of night. So now we have one solitary hubcap on the rear, driver’s side wheel.
Oh well. I guess it actually makes things a little easier. We no longer need to find two hubcaps to match the two on the other side. We might as well just buy a complete new set.
PS: Please forgive me for the excruciatingly painful pun in the title of the post.

just spray paint the wheels silver and call them puruit rims 🙂
Was watching a local TV programme last night, “Going Nowhere Slowly” – a couple of young folk that take a large Chevvy and a cameraman, and just drive wherever the road goes (awesome!) – and, to get back to the point, the previous group in a similar car had lost a hubcap somewhere in Mozambique. Well, driving along that same road, wouldn’t you know, but a year later they actually FOUND it! Stuck up on a tree in front of someone’s “informal settlement”. They sneaked off with it, got in the Big Red Car and sped away… 🙂
