    I guess it’s priced ok. I know I would have to throw a couple of hundred dollars more at it to get matching front white walls before I even hit the road home with it. It’s probably me just being an old fussbudget, but non matching whitewalls and hubcaps is a real pet peeve of mine. I remember taking set of wheel covers on a plane with me when I picked up my ‘77 Mercury wagon. The stewardess thought she had seen everything, and told me so. We had quite a laugh about my quirk.

    You, Sir, are OCD, but as long as you're not too extreme with it, you're OK. You must've had those hubcaps visible (i.e. not bagged) for anyone to know you were acting 'oddly.'

    You're not over the top with OCD. I personally have carried on two Oldsmobile exhaust trumpets. X-Ray dude had fun with that one...

    They were in a canvas bag. However they did clank. I felt like the old lady shoplifter from the Andy Griffith show. As Andy said when he bumped her. Old ladies shouldn’t clank.
