The worst PT Cruiser ever - 08/29/23 04:10 PM

Few cars have such a long, sad history of being poorly/tastelessly/cheesily (is that a word?) customized as the PT Cruiser. For every visor, baby moon, flamed, fender skirted PT out there, I present to you the new high (low?) watermark.

It has always mystified me how the PT, for some folks, was a blank canvas to tack the goofiest add-ons onto.

That one is intentionally ridiculous though. Terrible, but on purpose. Whomever paid big $$ for the Goofy paint job actually thought it was cool.

I'm sure the owner loves it and that is what really counts.

While they own it, 100%. Comes time to sell it, not so much.

Cruisers are old enough that the paint isn't going to make much difference in selling price.

Sure going to make a difference in who is willing to buy it though. shruggy

We had a PT Turbo for several years. They are a great road trip car, except for the fuel tank being too small. Decent ride, good power, and even reasonably quiet on the inside.

It is still far better than a Hyundai or Kia. GT = turbo, they were good driving cars.

And I'm thinking that he/she won't care. It's his/her car. If he/she is happy, that is all that matters.

I had to jump in here and see if someone posted a picture of my wife's PT rust bucket. grin
I'm somewhat relived to find out that it was just someone's "special paint" job. . whistling
