"PT" stands for...

An ex gf of mine's father had a Ford Windstar as a company car. When it was in the shop, his loaner was a PT Cruiser. He said he felt like it was gonna implode every time he got on the highway with it. He wished they gave him a Neon instead, since at least that thing's not trying to be something it ain't.

I like it. How much are they asking?

I think it says "free to open-minded & ridicule-tolerant home."

Personally, I'd rather see it melted down and sold as body jewelry on eBay.

Looks like we found the car for you!

I had a somewhat geeky, goofy friend who was almost to the point of buying a new mustang and the salesman feed him a line of crap like "Man the chicks are just going to be falling all over you!!!" He nearly wet himself and then did end up buying the car.

Something similar was suggested before, but this term is occasionally used to describe lenses.......bad lenses.

Stupid salesmen. What he really needed was a conversion van. Chicks appreciate the headroom.

I once told a salesman that all his cars were crap. He said, "There's an a$$ for every front seat." Isn't it interesting how people don't think more before they spend thousands of dollars on something they will live in a few hours every day?

So, not "Stupid salesmen." He moved the car & did his job. You're right about the headroom, though. The '70s were great!

How long have you had it & how do you like it?

It's probably been about 3 1/2 years now. My Dad actually bought it, but when he passed away my Mom really didn't want to get rid of it.

Just to show everyone the quality workmanship that goes into these things, my Mom had mentioned something to me about having to add brake fluid about once a week. I took a quick look under each wheel well and found brake fluid all over the drivers side rear. The flare nut was only about half on and leaking everywhere.

Perfect Transportation

Just kidding but everyone else was being so darn mean to that Piece of Trash

Poor Thing

Good find!

This car got so much attention that I started another thread with a few cars from this weekend:
Post your "What were the owners thinking" images!

Does anybody think the Charger sitting next to it was crying out loud?

"Why do I have to sit next to the annoying kid?"
