Are you done with that tire?

Don’t forget to harvest that perfect tire cap.

Ship the cap to abscate. He seems to have a cap shortage. I usually get my spare caps off the ground at the gas station air fill station.

We have a shortage here so I just go through the local car parks and harvest a few since the junkyards pull all the wheels before you get there! :D
