Not mine but I spoke to the driver and he claims doing all modifications himself. His wife nodded and rolled her ayes at the same time so I believe the guy. Should have a rack on top with a surfboard.

Whaddya think? I kinda like it.

    There is a scary clown that parks near us at the Georgia Tech games with a convertible tie dyed PT Loser and a scissor door kit. I'll have to take a picture and post it. My kids will go around the building to avoid it... (I say it because there is no way to determine if it is a male clown or a female clown)

    I just thought the guy did a good job.

    It looks fairly good IMHO rolling down the road with the whitewalls and baby moons.

    I would have thought that making what has to be one of the ugliest designs of the past twenty years look even less attractive would be impossible. I stand corrected!

    On behalf of my friend I'd like to thank you all for kind the comments.
    I guess it's true - there's no accounting for taste.

    I've noticed that and will take that under advisement.

    It's been my experience that the best way to disapprove of a post you don't like is to ignore it and let it fall off page 1.

    i learned how to drive in a pt cruiser. the driving school i went to had one and it was the primary ride of the instructor i did all my time with.

    i hate the cars. they suck to drive(imho), are too small, and are just all around pieces of crap.

    that being said, i think you should drive whatever makes your flag fly and decorate it however you please. i can respect the quality of the work even if i dont like the final product.

    i think i rather walk or take the bus than ride is that car though...

    i saw a flat black PT cruiser with the white walls and baby moons a few weeks ago in Baltimore.
    It was cool, in a wold of grey Toyota Camry's and tan SUV's a few guys still take something and give it character.

    I think thats cool.

    I guy that worked for me put a ton of money into one,he actually made it into a sedan delivery truck with custom front end to boot. It looked cool but in the end he lost his * when it came time to sell it as the hotness for them had worn off. I have read that on a side impact during a crash is quite disterious all inside, similar effect with HHR.

    Crash Test Note Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags.
    NHTSA Rollover Rating
    Rollover Note The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating utilizes a "fishhook" maneuver which is a series of abrupt turns at varying speeds to see how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the

    I've seen a few of them like that around her. He may had done it himself, but it was probably a kit. I somehow doubt that there would be multiple people to all do it exactly the same otherwise.

    There is also one around here that drives around with a surfboard on the top. The funny part is that I am 3 hours away from even slightly decent surfing AND the surfboard actually has bolts going through it to secure it to the rack.

    Is this vehicle in San Francisco? It should be.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Had a PT as a rental once after my car was in the shop. Most uncomfortable seats I've ever sat in. Too short in the seating area - felt like my package was dangling over the edge.

    Seems like I have seen this one myself.
