Hubcap Retreival Tactics

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

I got this figured out now

Listen up everybody, here comes some wisdom to help guide you through life. Get your note pads ready:

1) Buy cheap hub caps from Amazon or a flea market.
2) Hub cap flies away? Scour the lands high and low.. Was the hub cap retrieved? If not, proceed to step 3.
3) Buy another set of cheap hub caps from Amazon or a flea market. Make sure they match the ones you bought in step 1 unless you don't care.
4) Replace missing hubcap.

Now you have three extra hub caps should anything go wrong.

:thumbup:
You aren't doing it wrong if no one knows what you are doing.

He got rid of the old wife. So, he's doing great hubcap-wise.

:D You made me look. I should know better. Not a total loss, though. I found:

Jesus Christ, Fidget Spinner, stay focused on he who died for our spins! Random color or LED mature
$5.00+

Bloodhound Gang - Hell Yeah
Lyrics

... If I were God that's what I'd do, Heavens no

Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah
Hell yeah

And when they nail my pimpled ass to the cross
I'll tell them I found Jesus that should throw them off
He goes by the name Jesus and steals hubcaps from cars
Oh Jesus can I borrow your crowbar?

To pry these God damn nails out they're beginning to hurt
Crucified and all I got was this lousy T-shirt ...

In one case I found stock half moon hubcaps and replaced the temperamental wheel covers with those.
I had long forgotten that "Moon Disc" was actually a brand. Now I remember the logo.

I swear I just made that up; had no idea such a thing existed. Hell, I guess I'll have to get them now.

:lol: We're even. A Fidget Spinner is a palm-sized toy, a popular fad a few years ago, not a spinning hubcap. Sorry to disappoint you.

Opps! You could have fooled me; the damn thing looks like it would bolt right onto three of the five lugs on a typical wheel. And I was looking forward to a satisfying spin with Jesus. Guess I'm now a victim.
