Meg's New Decor

Meg bought this from the Expo I had in 2010. Its not beautiful decor in her bedroom.

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.

heather's first rescue

February 2009 heather had her first rescue in Columbia, Missouri after Dana spotted a lonely hubcap off Providence.

a waiting hubcap.

sometimes you see one just waiting

for you... like this one in kirkwood! as easy rescue.

sabrina's find!

Sabrina had been scouring the southwest of Missouri and found this hubcap! a good find!

I was with Ashley and Emily on our way to REI when we were discussing Megan’s hubcap sightings. Ashley then spotted one up the side of the road a bit and Chelsea U-turned twice to align the car to get it. Blinker on and Ashley ran about 6 feet up the hill in her heels to grab the hubcap! Success. Ashley’s first rescue.

Driving on with excitement of the first find, we see a lonely smashed hubcap in a lane on the opposite side of the road- almost impossible to get right now. We keep diving. Emily spots one on her side,
Chelsea turns down the next street that parallels the road with the spotted cap. Emily climbs out of the car and up a hill to look for the cap. She walks several yards before spotting it. Emily then breaks into a run, picks up the cap and looks longingly down the road where the smashed cap was, thinking about attempting to get it. She decides against it and bounds down the hill toward the car. Second success! Then back in route to REI within seconds we see two more un-attemptable hubcaps. These little guys will have to be rescued some late night or be swept up by the trash man.

happy journey

Spotted: Hubcap on the sidewalk by the steak and shake on gravois at hampton/germania
had to turn around to get to the steak and shake. not an easy task.

parked in steak and shake parking lot. walked a couple yards to get to the hubcap. picked it up and returned to my car.

car next to me, and older gentleman was sitting in the driver's seat (probably in his 70s). smiled and gave me a thumps up when i returned to my car. i think i made his day; he made mine!

the hubcap isn't great. it's probably made of plastic. but it's a good story!!

love, megan

Car buying

When buying a new car, make sure there are sweet hubcaps.

January 31, 2010

While driving down Gravois on my way to visit Chelsea and watch the Grammy's, I spotted a shiny hubcap leaning against a stoop on the right hand side of the road, just a couple blocks before River Des Peres Rd. Wasn't sure if it was roadside garbage, and because I was alone, I didn't stop for it. When I got to Chelsea's, I told her about my find and said that we should check it out! We drove down Gravois and turned around at a cemetery. When we passed by the hubcap, there was no one behind us, so I slowed down, turned on my flashers, and Chelsea got out of the car to retrieve the hubcap. It's pretty dirty, but after a good washing, I think it will be a nice find. It doesn't appear to be broken. And it's from a Toyota!!
