Back when I found it necessary to relay on my Yugo to get me to and from work it had a stroke and died; what a surprise.  So a friend of mine at the time was in grad school and wasn’t using their car so they loaned it to me while I worked on replacing my prior transit unit.

On my return home from work one night I merged from Rt. 84 to the Taconic and on this occasion I hit a large pot hole.  Upon getting home I realized that I had lost a hub cap to that hole.  Wanting to return the car the way I got it I stopped at that spot the next day.  When I went down the hill to retrieve the hub cap it quickly became apparent that this pot hole had been building up quite a collection for there were dozens of them down there.  That’s when I realized I didn’t know what was on the car I was driving or even what the hub caps looked like.  It wasn’t upon returning to the car that I realized that the three remaining ones on the car didn’t even match either, problem solved.  So I went back and retrieved 2 hub caps of the right size; putting one on the car and the other in the trunk as an extra.  I avoided that hole in the future so as not to lose anymore hub caps for it took weeks for the State to fill in that pot hole.  I should have gone back and collected all those hub caps and open a store, why should the pot holes collection have gone to waste.
