Spinners

Some day, when MTV runs its decade flashback ("I love the 2000's"), the comics of the time will be making fun of spinners. The stupid, gawdy, tire-bling that's hip with kids today. Imagine - add on hub caps that make your wheels look like, well, like they're SPINNING. What a great idea. The fact that the wheels are already SPINNING seems to be lost on the genius owners of these overpriced hubcaps. Apparently causing the wheel to spin through natural causes (i.e. driving) is not enough - one must add on additional devices to create the illusion of rotation.

I saw a car last weekend that was some type of generic hatchback. It was a beautiful primed blue with oxidized highlights. It had all the signs of a classic: the droopy headliner, vinyl missing from the passenger seat, strategically placed duct tape, and occupants that matched the decor. The attention getter, though, was the 3 spinners. Not 4 - just 3. I wanted to ask the driver why. Was the cost of 4 too much? Did Wal Mart just have the 3? We're relieved that money wasn't wasted on foolish improvements like seat belts or a rearview mirror. Steel belted bling - here's to you mister 3 wheeled spinner guy. Real men of genius.
