Jeepers, Frank -- I've had the van since around 2004. It wasn't until
earlier this year that I decided I liked the look* without the cheesy
plastic hub caps so I've never really paid any attention to what's
behind them.

But yesterday I got a closeup when we were swapping out the front tires.

Trust me, there's plenty on this van that I have yet to notice.

============
* Plain black steel rims. That "Road Warrior" look. Kewl.
