caps on tite valves

Do the caps on the tire valves serve any purpose?
Are they generic?
If someone borrowed one of mine, can I go and borrow one, from, say, a Taurus?

The caps stop dirt getting in the valve.
Yep, you can borrow caps from any car.
You might want to ask the owner if he wants them returned.

What's up with that? Can you say EL CHEAPO!

All tire valve caps are the same. You can 'borrow' them from any car, or you can go to a tire store and bum a couple for a nickel. Or, unless you want fancy chrome ones, or the ones with lights, and you don't wanna pay, then I guess you'd HAVE to 'borrow'.

Dude, the next time you stop at a gas station you'll prob find one on the floor. Or, stop at a tire shop to get air and you can get one for free. Do you believe freaking air cost 50 cents now?

$6 to come back to NY (prices increased a while back)

In the long run, you win though. Our insurance rates suck!
