Pregnant Neon...

Too cute for words
As of yesterday, my lovely wife drives one of these:

2005_Chrysler_PTCruiser_ext_1.jpg


Of course, I still drive my POS '96 Contour.
 
i drove one of them as a rental car once, when they insisted on giving me an "upgrade."

the dorks at chrysler really didn't think through the implications of putting that big lump on a neon platform. possibly the worst non-GM vehicle dynamics i've ever experienced.

Does it at least have the Turbo engine?

Yes. I finally drove it a bit yesterday. It's really not that bad, just ugly. It's easily the quietest soft convertible I've ever ridden in and that includes a mid-nineties 500 SL. Dara likes it though, I guess that's the important thing. It was funny watching the finance guys face blanch when I told him neither one of us had financed a car since 1990. :lol:

Now, how am I going to get her to go for a turnkey Caterham for me? Especially when she figures out that she won't fit in the seat. ;)
 
That's good... otherwise, I'd have to give you the Peyton Manning "minivan" priceless pep talk. :D
 
They were innovative for about 72 hours. Remember people paying over the MSRP for these little useless toys?

If mamma likes it...ce la vie.
 
:disgust2: Huh?!? :disgust2:

You actually drove it? Hand in your 'man' card. Ah. Don't say a word. Just hand it over, and walk away...hanging your head in shame. No! Do not look back. You may as well go to a Starbucks, and order a latte, because your testosterone is already in doubt. To make matters worse, you mention a Caterham, rather than a Shelby. You might have gotten away with your testosterone intact with that, but you drove a Pity Cruiser...meaning that you took an active part in its usage. :rofl2: :rofl3:
 
I've driven Lori's car a few times lately, too... a beat-up 1995 Taurus with a leopard-print steering wheel cover. Of course, my excuse is that working on the car was dmy Christmas present to her and I need to know if the headlights are aimed right or if the transmission still works.

Actually Gato, what with the general impracticability of the Caterham (and I dispute that there's anything unmanly about a car that includes absolutely nothing that isn't required for going faster or handling better) I've been looking at late model A4s and A6s. It'll be a year or so before I'm ready but those are on my short list. That better for ya? ;)
