Thumbs down cratered roads: 1; magnetic wheelcover: 0

The voting is closed. 15.4% of you were correct!

We have another failed magnetic wheel disc experiment. One disappeared on a drive this week.

It went AWOL somewhere on a crazy, cratered, pothole-ridden road (the same road on which I came around a corner face to face with another car stopped in my lane, with a busted ball joint and one front wheel jutting out at a crazy angle).

Next year I'll have to get to the wreckers for a set of hubcaps to modify... BEFORE we get six feet of snow.

Fortunately we're nearly to spring, and I can stick my skinny 13" LRR's back on anyway. Perhaps next week.
