PT Cruiser

[Anthrax]

My sister hates them. She used to work on the import docks where they recieve foreign cars, and about half of the pt cruisers needed some kind of work on them before being allowed to pass through. Mostly a dead battery but non the less.


By the way, I thought "cruiser" was slang for a gay guy.

My band teacher used to drive one... Bad luck happened with that thing; it got keyed and had a brick thrown through the window. Last year he gave up and traded his wifes charger for a e46 sedan and got himself a z4 with a hard top. Ballin Band teacher now lol

I remember the alloy wheels were horrible. The cheap chome shit would flake off and I would always cut myself on it when mounting tires. And the short 10 second drive to pull it in the shop resulted in the interior rattling apart.

Ugh.

there are pt cruiser forums where guys are just as passionate about those piles as hughjass is about his bondo laden M5

pull it out into the light and have another look. That is if it can be moved under its own power. it will give you a chance to clean up the sea of coolant and oil under its rusted floorpans

You press the gas in that car and your able to sing a melody before that turns into any sort of acceleration.

yeah what was Chrysler thinking?

They were thinking of the $$$$$$$


Even though I hate them, they did sell quite a good number of them...at least it appears that way....seeing them at every street corner...

The x-fire is a whole different ball of wax....

Didn't Merc have something to do with that?

[dvs909]

im pretty sure the crossfire used alot of mercedes chassis

I drove my neighbor's PT Cruiser home from Home Depot (albeit with a load of 75 retaining wall stones...) and it was god-awful. Cheapest piece of shit I've ever had the misfortune of driving. The handling and overall driving feel (especially the shifter and throttle response) are far worse than my grandmother's 95 Windstar...and that thing is pretty bad.


God damn...

Probably a repost, but definately will make you feel better:



I also found this amusing, and don't really know why:

Yeah, PT's are a classic POS. I had one for my wife, until it got smashed in a wreck (thank god). no power, horrendous gas mileage (22 yr old E30 gets much better mileage), seats like a fucking park bench. The only real redeeming feature was that we could fit us, the kid and the dogs in it, and not have to take my truck.
