And since we are feral tent campers, she could serve as an emergency shelter in the case of nasty weather or nasty bears.
A couple of years ago, after having the tires swapped out, we lost one of the hubcaps during a camping trip. I rather like the "tough" look it gives to that one tire. No bear would mess with that van in the woods!
But I don't like the asymmetry. I want to just remove the other three hubcaps.
Chaco and Wolfgang say doing so would give it the "pedophile van" look. Might as well paint "FREE CANDY" on the side.

Oh come on. Our van isn't even red, it's purple (or whatever the heck color it is).
So it remains with one missing hubcap because no one wants to spring for a full set just to replace one. And my inner emo is lobbying for all black rims.
The snow tires are about to come off. Should the remaining three hubcaps "mysteriously" pop off? Free candy and puppies for whoever's with me.

Are you trying to lead us all astray? And you a crossing guard too!!!! :-)
I know right? Still can't believe they hired me.

Um - that's hilarious - because they're right. It totally would have been all pedophile style!
The Fit lost one of its hubcaps soon after we got it. Hubby removed the other three to even it out, and immediately it drew lots of attention from other drivers during his commute to St. Louis. (Back when he had a 'real' job.) It cracked us up.
You can use us for ammo if you need to....
It's already got the monotone paint job. Pop the hubcaps, and we're ready.
OH, good to know! "ShadowRun's got a pedophile Fit!"
Hm, I don't think that this vision of the pedophilemobile has made it over here yet. Here the trend in certain circles seems to be that having hub caps makes you Gay! Maybe I need to spread the new definition...
Hmmm... news to me. I guess that makes us a collective 3/4 gay on the whole homo/hetero spectrum.
Two years without a hubcap? I think she's fine without it. Although, she might appear a little sexy, so tell her to stay away from the red free candy van.
I'm with Chaco and Wolfgang on this one. No hubcaps does make some vehicles look a little emo. I'm not sure that's the effect it would have on your van. You'd definitely be making the free candy and puppies statement.
