"OOO! a Buick!"

Found a hubcap just chillin' in the graveyard on King Shig Way. Megan scooped it up because the light was long enough. Then after crossing the intersection, there was a beautiful Buick just glistening in the sun, propped up on the corner. So Megan got that one too. Double success!

Spinner!

Chelsea and I will forever tell the story of how we rescued the spinner hubcap. It will be a tale of yore that will be passed down from generations.

We were driving down Morganford. Chelsea saw something shiny out of the corner of her eye in the dentist's office parking lot. I turned on Holly Hills. I think I illegally turned into the dentist's parking lot. There it was. A spinner hubcap. A perfect specimen! Chelsea has it hanging outside her front door.




















This is the spinner in action. It's shiny!

I was texting a guy I had never met, he was a friend of my coworker, and she wanted to set us up. He asked me to send a picture. He obviously wanted me to send him a picture of myself. Instead, I sent him this. He should have asked more specifically!

dirt on the cap

getting hubcaps can be a dirty task, good thing I now carry a hubcap rag in my car.

Record pick up

Megan knew where one hubcap was and Chelsea knew where two were. We scheduled a night of dinner and a movie with Brooke around these pickups. On the way to get Brooke, Megan spotted two hubcaps and pulled over safely to get them.
After dinner and a movie, when it was late enough, Brooke picked up one- her first! And then we got 2 more downtown.

What a night! Megan carrying two!

another pick up in Lafayette Square.

5 from the night.

I see you!

Megan spotted a hubcap and we took a walk to get it.

Dirty Night Pick Up

A few weeks or months ago Megan saw two hubcaps not to far apart on a nearby street. After many talks of these two and one attempt, we knew it had to be a late night pick up. With Brianna in the car too we stopped on the street and Megan reached out to pick up the first hubcap. DIRTY. Then for the second one she had to hop out of the car and again... DIRTY! With the recent snow and mush, they were pretty gross. Luckily we had a plastic bag and a HubCap Towel in the car to use for Megan to wipe off her hands.
The hubcaps hidden under the towel.

January 30, 2010

I was driving down Newstead Ave. I was reminiscing on some of our hubcap adventures, and was thinking I was due to find another one. After going over the Highway 40 overpass, I saw one on the side of the road! I quickly pulled over, turned off my car, turned on the emergency flashers, and retrieved the hubcap. It's not a particularly good one and it's kind of broken, but it's really all about the hunt.

Chelsea- we need to study hubcaps so we can tell what kind of car it's from!
