This thing is awful, PT Cruisers continue their assault on our senses

@ranwhenparked The real ones are worth a fortune, there is a wagon they always bring to our SF Auto Show from the Academy of Art collection and it is stunning. They must have had a rusted out car or parts in AZ, I went to college in AZ and back in the early 90's there were fields full of old cars outside the cities along the highway.

@415s30 They're stunning, I really want a 46/7/8 Chrysler someday - not a high dollar T&C, I'd be happy with a Windsor club coupe, or suicide door sedan with a straight six and Fluid Drive.

Should be linked correctly to start at 3:30 but just watch until the PT is mentioned in a few seconds lol one of my favorite lines

@ranwhenparked They bring this one with barn doors to the show every year. I always stand there and drool at it.

[ranwhenparked]

@415s30 They were really ahead of their time with a sedan-styled wagon, what with coupe-CUVs being so popular now

[415s30]

@ranwhenparked I can look at pretty much anything I want but the high dollar stuff they bring is roped off, I can't sit in them even though I work for the general contractor of the show. They also bring these in last. They always have private cars on display, I want to bring my truck sometime if I can swing it.

@415s30 I hate it, but considering that real T&Cs are 6-figure cars, I suppose I can't blame them.

@415s30 I JUST SAW THIS CAR! The internet is amazing. I briefly see a car online and a couple days later in person at a stop light. I see now that it has an Arizona license plate, and I am in Arizona so I guess there was an infinitesimal chance. Still, for spotting a 1 of 1 car in the wild I am quite happy.

@Albino-Kangaroo Cool, but could you follow them and set it on fire

@415s30 I don't hate the exterior at all. I just wish he'd change up the interior to match. Plastics gotta go!

I think you caught this once familiar Southwestern tableau just in time -- in the late 90s and especially the early mid 2000s, if slightly Internet augmented memory serves, a Chinese (and other places) building boom jacked up the price of scrap steel, and that was all she wrote for a lot of old junkyards...

[415s30]

@Ad-absurdum-per-aspera Yeah there were tons of old American cars out there. I remember somewhere east of Salt Lake City on 80 there was a huge hillside of cars on the north side.

@415s30 Beautiful. Just needs an SRT4 swap...
