However, I scored only a 60% on the hubcaps, as there were only three there. Why 60% and not 75% for three out of four? Well, there are no clips on the hubcaps. What was actually on the car was bundts. Bundts and hubcaps -- huh? apparently the previous owner liked the hubcap look so much that when he/she/it came into possession of some bundts with tires, he/she/it removed the hubcap clips and zip-tied the hubcaps to the bundts! I guess one of 'em didn't hold on or fell off in the yard -- all I could find was those three.

So, I've got 3 out of 4 hubcaps with no clips (which I understand can be obtained new at the dealer). Oh well...
