About the part of helping someone with a flat...

I'm certainly not a car jack expert, but I have 4 or 5 car jacks, and every one of them works to jack every other car up. Should I play the lottery tonight or something?

How on earth does a jack "not fit."

Some jacks only fit on a certain type of car. I'm not talking about standard floor jacks, i'm talking about the ones that come in the trunk. Take BMW for instance...that jack is different from the jack i have for my Grand Prix. That jack wouldn't work on my Grad Prix.

Because they had already put a jack under the car improperly and it broke, so the car was kinda fubar'd.

i know some hondas hold the cap on with the lug nuts...its a thin piece of flexible molded plastic so i guess its sorta a giant washer
no way for that to fall off!

Good thing you found it. Nobody likes to look at your ugly nuts.

chicago has the same problem.

My chrome steel wheel is bent and is not repairable (doesnt hold air). Well it is, but its cheaper to buy a new rim more than likely.

Did you go toss the other one back on the side of the road? Somebody might be looking for it.

My wife considered it, not sure what she did.

My wife came home today and discovered that she was missing a hubcap on her '03 Jetta, doh. Those cost like $100 to replace. Anyways, she hit a monster pot hole on the on ramp and was confident that that's where it fell off.

So we drive 7 miles, get off, get back on and pull over at the site of a hubcap. I put on my flashers and wait for no traffic and go snag the hubcap. Damnit, its an oldsmobile, but wait, theres another smashed hubcap in the median. Nope, some other make. Then my wife spots 2 more over on the right side of the road. One is a VW!!! Another one is a Toyota.

We snag up the VW and then see 2 more hubcaps! Another VW, uh oh, which one is it? Anyways, we found the hubcap heaven apparantly. We toss both VW hubcaps into the trunk and start to pull out.

There is another car pulled over with their blinkers on, and I wonder if they too might be looking for a hubcap. I get out and turns out that they got a flat tire. I pull my jack out, but it doesn't fit. Couldn't help, but I tried.

Anyways, strange night. They need to fix that damn pothole I guess.

Cliffs...
1. Lost hubcap
2. Search for hubcap
3. Find hubcap graveyard
4. Bring two close matches home
5. Try to help another car with flat

Why pay for them? Just take the other three off, you aren't fooling anyone into thinking that you have stylish 20s on there.

Yeah, I actually hit the hubcap killer pothole myself on the way to find the hubcap. Impossible to avoid. Nothing like the potholes in Afghanistan though near Kabul.
