PJ yes it's sad. Until CanyonThompson mentioned the Crests I didn't even know the cars had them. I guess I don't pay too much attention to the details beyond the driving. MY BAD.

I had never heard of pointing center caps at the valve stem either... that tip must come from the higher order of detailers handbook...
the only thing even remotely close that I have heard was to align the valve stem on your bicycle with brand on the tire sidewall so when you get a flat in a race you just have to find the colorful brand on the tire sidewall and you are that much faster to the valve stem...
and I do not buy you "not paying attention to details"

Crests? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
You guys make me feel better about my leaf spring fiberglass car.
Now that you guys made me laugh at stereotypes, I'm going to go put on some gold chains and admire my mustache rides t-shirt.
