Cars and car troubles

Front view of cleanness!

Carwash day! The PT is happy again!

The PT was a really cool idea and complimented the Prowler car...tidy cars make me smile

More drag bugs

I find your PT interesting in that it is a convertable, I think all we have here is the normal one

I think that they were only made for 4 or 5 years, towards the end of the models' production when interest in PT Cruisers was on the decline. I see a few here in Vegas, also in California and Hawaii. Probably sold mostly on the west coast of the US and other warmer climates. I'm happy with mine, I bought it new in 05, it's been top down weather for the past few months so I'm enjoying it!

Bugs? Oh...I love VW Bugs! These are some of the nicest ones I ever saw in my life. Concours quality...at the Barrett-Jackson Auction 2013:

I prefer the original one to the later ones.

I prefer the original one to the later ones.

Absolutely. The older the better.

Wish I had the car...but all I have is the roadmap.

But it's a pretty interesting roadmap of Germany.

I find the razor edge Karmen ghia interesting as well, the car is called Pagen Princess.

what an odd duck she is...

Odd cars for odd people

A person at the garage I got uses one of these as a daily driver

Were they all built on the "squareback" chassis? I kinda liked that one....

I always want to have an 'unusual' car! Boring cars are for boring people

 

[Warwick C]

I believe they were built on a type three chassis. I believe they may have been referred to as being a type three Karmen ghia as well.

I agree with you to Becky, that is why I have an older Citroen.
The dark green one was my first one, metal termites got the better of it.

The one "boring" car I owned I tried to make "un-boring". Bad idea....I put American Racing wheels and BF Goodrich HR tires on my 88 Honda Civic.

Looked great. Attracted car/parts thieves like a beacon. Even with a third-party alarm system.

Love your first car! Very unique. I love the look of older cars, my family think I'm mad for wanting to downgrade to a lovely BMW E30 / M3 if mine ever happened to die. I enjoy keeping my E36 compact going so much.

Because we all wish we could be as happy as this guy.

That's the only problem, right? Shame to have to compromise because of scummy lowlife thieves.

My cousin had a BMW. Oh man did she love that car!

Oh I didn't compromise. But they kept trying to break into my car....I never lost that one. But I lost the first car I ever owned to thieves. It was devastating not only emotionally, but financially too. Set me back a few years when I was struggling.

Oddly enough my present car I've had for nearly 14 years has never been burglarized. But it has a dedicated alarm system...strictly stock 2000 Celica GTS. Maybe keeping it stock is what keeps the thieves away...I'm not sure. <?>

That's awful, it's horrible to think that some people can stoop so low - sorry to hear that. I've been told by the police that cars around here get broken into all the time just for loose change to pay for drugs. Mine was broken into when it was new, but since I've owned it, as far as I know no-one's got in (fingers crossed!).
