I woke up the next morning at my friend's home in the village of Poarta. In the courtyard rested my faithful coach, a Chevy Spark. I came all the way from the USA only to drive a Chevrolet! I asked at the rental place, "What happened to the hubcaps?" They informed me that they took them off so there would be no worry of them being stolen. It kind of made sense, but what's the difference if they're absent or stolen? Perhaps they sell them on eBay. Anyway, it made it easier for me to spot my car in a parking lot.
