Hubcap Mania …
For some reason I've become
enthralled with hubcaps. It all began with my last car. This was a
pre-owned Acura that had wintered in Massachusetts and the wear and
tear really showed ... mostly on the hubcaps. I figured this was no
big deal because I would just replace them. Wow, little did I know
how pricey that would be. Even the little (less than 3”) center cap for the car I had was priced at $25 each.
As it turned out it's a good thing I didn't waste the money because shortly after I bought the car I totaled it. Luckily only my pride was injured ! Now I've replaced that car and my current hubcaps are in good shape and even include the cute little emblem:
So
now I’m all set … right ? Wrong !
I
find that now I've developed an obsession with hubcaps even though
the immediate need for them is gone for me. It’s become a game
that I play while I am on the road. I am fascinated with the fact
that a round circle could have so many configurations. Just when I
think I’ve seem them all, I spot a new design. It’s endless.
I
really do need to get a life ...

I had never thought of it, but you have something here.
Lol. Your first sentence is not one I’ve read too often, Ginnie! Lol.
Well, that seems relatively harmless! You could be fixated on things a lot worse!
I have a small collection of hubcaps here that I find on my land along the road. I usually prop them up against a Crape myrtle and they usually disappear. I always assumed the owner spotted it and gratefully took it back - but it may have been a collector... that's the next step isn't it?
Ok, you made me look:)) I wasn't even sure I had hubcaps.
well this certainly isn't a bad addiction, but one which certainly has kept you occupied and amused us as well, Ginnie. I never thought of all the round shapes but now will be on the lookout.
Your hubcap dilemma reminds me of shopping with my dear wife at the Mall. I usually find a comfortable chair and say "I'll be waiting right here for you dear till you done"
