Me “I need to buy a new rim for my tire.”
Mechanic “Alright, will you be buying a hubcap as well?”
Me “I don’t know what that is.”
Mechanic “It’s the gray covering that goes over the rim.”
Me “What do they do?”
Mechanic “They’re just a protective covering for the rims.”
Me “But aren’t they made of plastic?”
Mechanic “Yeah…”
Me “So it’s a plastic protection for a solid metal object?”
Mechanic “…Yes, I suppose so.”
Me “And how much do they cost?”
Mechanic “They’re $12.”
Me “Yeah I won’t be getting one.”
