      See but the difference is. You have 9 fully functional and running pt cruisers. That’s the dream. Which means in total you have 45 with 36 in the back yard for spare parts. Never fear to dream big

    I actually didn’t hate that small strange era that spawned the PT Cruiser and Chevy SSR.

    I have no idea what was going on in the minds of those car designers at the time. But I didn’t hate it.

      I had one. They are not made for winter driving lol. But they are absolute tanks. Idk if they actually are heavier than other cars I’ve driven or just feel that way lol

        PT cruisers are fuckin straight. Decent cargo space, completely invisible to cops. Some mechanical problems but whatever.

      There’s a guy who works near me and I frequently drive past his SSR. Gotta say I’m not a fan but as long as he’s happy with it then great.

      I do, it was too appeal to baby boomers who had memories of the era is styling was taken from. You can lump the Plymouth Prowler in there too.

    Hah, I didn’t even notice all the cars at first. I thought they were referring to the shitty gravel driveway.

    PT Cruisers are the epitome of beautiful art deco aesthetics paired with shit design choices and build quality. Just give me one with Toyota quality control and a more efficient engine/electric motor and I’ll be quite happy.

      I can honestly say that this is the first time in my life that I’ve seen someone describe them as beautiful. Most people describe them as looking like a hearse. And not an attractive hearse.

      There is/was ton of aftermarket parts for these because they share the same chassis as the 2000-2005 neon. Really there’s a bunch of common small issues with these like wheel bearings, fan motor, control arm bushings, etc but there’s a huge knowledge base from all the forums back in the day. The five speed manual is pretty reliable as well. They’re still a shitty car though, can’t really fix that.
