Okay, I have to get this one off my chest. You ever dislike something so much it just makes you angry when you see it? My mom for example hates those blow up lawn ornaments that people have in their yards. You know the ones I'm talking about for different seasons - big snow man at Christmas or pumpkin at halloween. The joints with the air blown into them and sometimes even have lights. Every time she sees it, she talks about getting a bb gun and shooting them or knocking on the door of the house and smacking the owner. They make her upset because they don't make sense. To her they are ugly to look at and unnecessary.
I feel that way about the PT Cruiser. When I see one, I just ask myself "Why?" The PT Cruiser is one of the worst looking cars, ever. The PT was launched by Chrysler as kind of a station wagon or hatchback (or a piece of complete confusion) in 2000. It later had the nerve to develop and introduce a two door convertible PT Cruiser in 2005. As if the four door wasn't horrible enough.
Who approved this car? Was he or she fired immediately after or praised by Chrysler executives? Based on the fanatic websites out there for this car, I'd assume praised. I've had the unfortunate pleasure of driving one on a few different occasions. It wasn't my choice. It was a rental car for work and I hated every minute of it (you should pay half price if they give you this as a rental). You can't ride in one and be cool in any respect. You could get it tricked out, blasting Jay-Z (hell, Jay could even be in the passenger seat) and had been on the cover of People Magazine as Person of the Year but all that goes out the window driving a PT Cruiser. When you drive one you should just dress like a clown with floppy shoes, make-up, wig... you know the whole nine yards because folks are going to laugh at you when you hop out. The joy stick geer shift, video game steering wheel and poorly placed window controls are just a few of the interior failures. When they introduced the PT Cruiser someone should have yelled out - EPIC FAIL!!!!
They make me so upset, I didn't even put a picture of it on the site for this post in fear that it would make me not want to come back and see my own blog. DAMN!
As we all know, Chrysler is struggling right now and looking for some more government money to keep them afloat. One of the conditions for bailout should include Chrysler discontinuing the making of this piece of crap. Chrysler in general may not make the best cars but at least the other ones look decent. The PT Cruiser is crap.
Okay, now I feel better that I got that off my chest.
As I was reading this blog. I was hoping to see a picture of it.. I even scrolled down before finishing it. LOL. But then I read
