A PT Cruiser is what you get your wife when you don't have the balls to come out and say you want a divorce*. *Because you're gay.

The prowler loving owned. Just because they came out with a really lovely car that looked kind of like it later on doesn't make the prowler a bad car, any more than Tom Green made Alan Rickman a bad actor.

You either don't know what the prowler was, or you were just a pathetic rear end in a top hat. Oh, You think Alan Rickman is a bad actor. Figured it out

PT Cruisers remind me of those kraut cars that Nazi's drove to round up Jews to go to the gas chamber. I don't think the kraut cars broke down as much though.

I worked with a guy, about 60, who usually dressed in a Hawaiian shirt and shorts like he was always about to go to some kind of baby boomer beach party. When he retired he bought himself a new PT Cruiser to celebrate. It was his first new car and he was so proud. I didn't have the heart to tell him what I really thought.

Here's a beauty we pass every day. It's always gleaming. My wife rode in one recently, she was shocked that the loving window controls were not on the door but rather the dash. Also that the whole vehicle and ride felt like absolute poo poo and she isn't even a "car person" who notices things like that. Also I didn't know PT cruisers and HHR's and that other one were different brands. But to me Chrysler and Chevy and GM are the same brand. "poo poo american car that isn't ford that stupid loving old people still buy for some reason"

I got stuck with a PT Cruiser rental in Hawaii once (I wanted a sedan mang) and I am pretty sure the only thing more awful than its turning was the go-kart engine. Which is kind of an insult to go-karts.

Ignoarints posted:sorry man You're wrong and a dumb baby bitch More goes into auto safety than simply weight. The smart car has a very rigid frame with A pillars meant to cushion impacts. Top gear once put a smart car versus an 80s Volvo wagon at 60mph and the smart car absolutely destroyed the Volvo. Smart cars are stupid because you sac room and styling for mpgs but they only get like 40 mpg and you can just get a TDI

I was on page 2 when I was about to say, does no one know about the PT Cruiser show cars that there is always at least one of at every car show? That's all sorts of horrible.

My uncle has three PT Cruisers and all of them are some manner of super busted. I have moved those cars for him and even just driving one down the street (to take it to the mechanic ) I can tell that the car is a piece of hot garbage.

ethanol posted:no I know for a fact this is the bmw 3 series The BMW 3 series is for people who think they are hot poo poo but in reality own what amounts to an overpriced Accord. BMW owners are actually worse than PT Crusier owners because PT Crusier people are old moms who don't give a gently caress. 3 series people are desperately seeking attention with entry level status symbols.

Yup, PT Cruiser car clubs exist for some reason. There is one that meets regularly at a restaurant down the street from me. Every week the 50 year old men and their tricked-out PT Cruisers meet to jerk off together and attempt to summon satan using the concentrated garishness of their vehicles

I learned to drive in one of these fuckers. I have no idea what made the car school owner decide that yes, this is the vehicle their pupils will use. They had two in black so you could see the hideous pink logo on it better. I never felt embarrassed when my mother picked me up from school, but I did when the driving teacher met me there for the next lesson.

THIS is the demographic I mostly see driving PT cruisers. Older men. I'd say 75% of the Post-Traumatic Cruiser disorders I see are driven by old dudes yearning for the 50's and juke boxes and poo poo. Also I've seen a few done up like that. Not exactly like that, but some ridiculous wrapping and body work to make their "car" look more classic.

I grew up in a rich area. It was a fad for all of the rich kids to get PT cruisers. In the early 00's the streets consisted of nothing but PT Cruisers, SUVs, and high end sedans. I felt out of place in my '93 Accord but at least I wasn't a spoiled gently caress.
