Betsy has found amazing hubcaps for me! These are some of them chillin' in my basement. Waiting to have inspration come upon them... maybe glitter! Sometimes she find them when running so when you see a girl running down the street with a hubcap, it might be Betsy.

Brianna's Hubcap Rescue!

A tale from B-Mozz... I saw a hubcap last night as I was leaving work. It was just hanging out by a pole. I was in the wrong lane and couldn't get back to it easily. But in the morning, I said that if it was still there, I would get it!
Traffic is a lot better on Sunshine at 6:30. :) AND IT WAS THERE!!! So, I turned around, parked at Dominoes, and ran down sunshine to get it for you. :) It was really funny with me in my work clothes... and I kind of hurt my ankle, but it was worth it!

Toyota is a popular hubcap that we find often. I think we should write Toyota to tell them about this problem.

My Favorite Car, The Delorean

I would like to own a Delorean Hubcap someday.
I wouldn't paint it, just clean it real good and hang it on the wall.
I've seen a few Deloreans in person.... I hope to drive one or own one someday!

more shots of the first.

looking through old pictures, I found these shots of the 'footrest' I had in my college dorm room.

The first ever!

I found this guy as sophomore in college. It was in my room as a foot rest. I found it one day by a shuttle bus stop just off campus and watched it for a few days, then carried it home. Back then many people thought I was funny for having it. It was pretty funny. Several people tried to determine what type of vehicle it came from. Then one day my friend Kevin told me he thought it was from one of the campus shuttles. I like to believe it did. Here's a few shots with it.

Introducing Transformer: Hubcap


This guy is named hubcap. He is an animated transformers character. Pretty interesting and intense if you're into this stuff.

From Wikipedia: Hubcap isn't someone you want to get in a card game with. Unless you like losing your shirt. Seriously. Nice guy and all, but if the subject of three-card monte comes up, just politely decline and walk away, alright? You'll be glad you did.

During the Great War, Hubcap was stationed as a communications officer. He reported to Ultra Magnus on the Decepticons' attack on the Hydrax Plateau. Bots of Science

Many years later, Hubcap was part of the crowd cheering for Optimus Prime and his crew when they returned to Cybertron victorious, with Megatron and the rest of the Decepticons captured.
