On the Tyre Cap

One day months ago while I was driving Mum around in the shopping area nearby, I thought I heard some hiss from the wheel, so I turned my head sideways and gosh, I thought I saw something flew off!

"Gosh! The tyre the tyre!" I was panicking, and hit on an emergency break. Luckily it was a Saturday morning and the traffic was really slow.

The four-wheel drive from the opposite must've seen the rolling object and thought the same as well, and gave me a honk. Thankfully, no major pile-ups happened. I drove to the curbside and put on the emergency stop signalling and we headed out...

It was the tyre rim. Cap. Whatever it's called.

We walked along the road to see where the thing has landed and found it by the side of the road.

If I were alone, I wouldn't have given it a damn, I'd probably just put it in the boot and sort of forget about it. But Mum and Sis were adamant that I head to our regular mechanic and get it fixed back. Otherwise, they said it was as though you dress up nicely in a tux and wear slippers.

-.-"

But in the end, it's back in place...

At the cost of 5 bucks.
