I gotta have this

I duno about that.. I work at a dealership and we have both.  I've had seat time in both.. The HHR feels thrown together and has the same build quality as Geo.  Little tiny instrument cluster, flat door panels and poor seats are no comparison to the PT Cruiser.

32V, I didn't mean any offense to that, I had no clue it was your brother's.  I found it online, and thought it was something different, so I saved the pic.

EDIT: After looking at that second pic, does it have a 2 tone paint job on it, or am I seeing things?

You gotta be kidding?  A lighted fish tank in the car?  I thought that was just something they would do, and did, on Pimp My Ride.  Although, if it's done right, I'd bet it would look pretty cool.

it was a long cylinder tube with fake fish and some kind of fluid in it, i dont think it was water. he had stood up on the floorboard between the front seats, and went to the roof where the dome light would have been. im tellin ya', that car was built from supplies bought at Home Depot. the escort isnt as bad as the corolla........yet.

Sitting the the parking lot this morning at the college I go to...Salt Flat wheel covers, and functional Side Pipes. Buick hood vents, visor, flame backup light covers, chrome trim, ghetto scoop, and sweet decals.
My fave thing about that PT is the mad phat tires on the rear, though it is a FWD car:toilet:

Dude, that is a Ricer. It doesn't have to be puppiesanese anymore to fit the description.
 
............. it's just painful. :punchballs:

That is not a ricer. That is a modern take on a '50s style Rat Rod. Not that it's really any better than a ricer, it's just not a ricer.

A Rat Rod is made from parts you 'find', as in stuff off this car, no matter what make or model, stuff from the Junk yard.

This is a Rad Rod.


This is a Hot Rod, (which the PT is trying to be, just just ends up looking like rice).

Venom: Yes I did mention Escort, and it does beat that one...sadly I'll try to find it and take pics.

The PT is the definition of "Auto Zone Special"
