How do you deal with other people making fun of you and your car?
>Drive a 2009 PT Cruiser, handed down and used >Can't really afford a new car because unemployed >All I do really is drive to fast food places and park in the car park after going past the drive thru >The workers at some fast food places have started making fun of me based on my car >At McDonalds the Drive Thru workers recognise me and call me 'Meat-E Cruiser' >At KFC I overheard one of the workers call me 'Dia-PT's' because I always order ice cream >people always laugh at my car generally >call it a womans car >call it a gay car >call it a stupid car
I wish I didn't have to deal with this. Is there a way to make my car more manly?
You could turn your PT Cruiser into a driving fedora.
Daniel Sanders
Sell it and get something else you lazy, uninspired fuck. It sounds like they're making fun of you because you're fat anyway though, so it might not help.
Jace Perry
>fat neet with a pt kek
Bentley Butler
Have your friend drive a Porsche
Inb4 no friend
Cooper Price
is that fucking bam margera?
Charles Moore
>Dia-PTs
Thanks, I needed a laugh
Ian Nguyen
Yeah, this was from his show over 10 years ago.
Benjamin Hughes
Why is it funny? It was a cheap car
Carter Johnson
Yeah and you're so cheap that kids that work at a fast food joint have the nerve to mock
Chase Garcia
Stop being a fat, NEET, piece of shit. These are clearly fat jokes that play on your car, if you weren't a regular at these fucking places you wouldn't be so fat and they wouldn't make fun of you. If you got a fucking job you could afford a car that isn't gay.
Josiah Jackson
Maybe if you didn't eat so much fast food, you'd be able to run a better car.
Have you tried shopping at different places? Or changing your order occasionally? Or are you too autistic to work, tolerate variety in your food intake, cook, or deal with any disruptions to your routine?
Thomas Hughes
Because you're such a sadsack that even people who work at McDicks are laughing at you

God I hope that both this guy and the guy who can't afford a piece of rubber tube to siphon out his grandma's overfilled transmission are both the same troll or else it's like the worst day ever for Veeky Forumstists.

Sell it, get a new car/job. Like what the fuck.
Sebastian Sanders
got done by chrysler UK got called PT bruiser. like everybody says: get a job motherfucker! even if its low wage, its work when you aint got none. the problem with the PT cruiser was they used a dodge neon engine. yes there are body modifacation parts on the web to fix your weak ass ride. but nothing to aleviate that you are driving a dodge neon station wagon...
Brayden Murphy
Hemi swap it. Blow the doors off a Mustang at the lights.
Gavin Perry
I feel for you user.
Do you have any mechanical or carpentry skills?
Ian Cruz
"wah, I got a free car" is all I hear. If you don't like it, sell it/trade it on craiglist for a different car that's less gay but a bit older./few more miles. It's not like you have a job to get to in the meantime.
Spoiler warning, your parents gave you that car so you'd get a job.
Levi James
The cruiser? Round these parts we call them pussy repellers.
Alexander Bell
stop being a fucking faggot you fucking homo

>yfw a 5 speed GT Cruiser is a slightly pigfat SRT4 for half the cost that's much less likely to have been beat to death by POs
Sebastian Lee
Mark is that you?
Logan Rodriguez
Yeah, except for one thing 5 speed GT Cruisers are fucking unicorns
David Myers
>how do you deal with other people making fun of you and your car?
Give them a seat in my comfy, heated Recaros and give them a taste of what 300+ wtq in a 2700 pound car feels like.
Chase Morales
Does it terrify them less? Because the seats in my fox are uncomfortable as fuck and I think that makes it scarier for people.
>First link modded to shit >remaining three links are picnic basket certs
My point still stands
James Nguyen
Hey I'm on the fence about the verts. I mean, Cruisers look dated as fuck in that sad wannabe "retro" design way but at least they don't look like regular PTs and it only adds 100 pounds for a grand total of 600 pounds fatter than an SRT4 instead of "just" 500.
Jacob Brown
Can I make a living swapping GT cruisers into Neon SXTs?
Jonathan Thompson
Nope, drove a 05 GT vert when it was new at a dealer i worked for, they need less weight so sticking with the 5 doors is key, also >owning and maintaining a vert >especially a PT vert
Nicholas Brooks
Why? Do you hate yourself?
Luis Bell
Is it really that bad? I've never owned a Chrysler or a FWD car before.
Christian Perry
Where does the hate for PT Cruisers come from, anyway?
I mean, they're not pretty, but I don't completely hate how they look.
Except the convertible ones, those can go fuck themselves twice.
Nathan Parker
You asked if you could make a living off of it, no not that many people want to swap GT Cruiser power trains into SXTs because most GT power trains were automatic, not bad but the slush ox makes modding impossible, best would be two scavenge the engine and source a manual that'll work with it
Three main things: It's a Chrysler product Fake retro styling Primarily driven by old people
I owned a GT Cruiser and loved it, I just wish I had bought a manual one
Liam Rivera
I drove 80s turbo Chrysler 'verts all through the 90s. My friend got an auto GT Cruiser and driving it gave me the nostalgia. Then it blew up.
Juan Anderson
The 90s LeBarons are night and day to a fucking turbo cruiser, only similarity being turbo
How did it blow up?
Charles Allen
Just sitting in traffic on a light (on a bridge lel) but he got it from one of those buy-here-pay-here places and his grandparents wisely insisted on a warranty so I actively encouraged him to spool it every opportunity he got after I showed him how to do it. He said "smoke" poured out of the vents but he was probably exaggerating as he is prone to do. When I popped a turbo on my 600es it made a shit ton of smoke but it all came out the exhaust.
Bentley Morris
Damn, I think I had about 90k when I totalled mine, no turbo problems or anything with it
Henry Cruz
I'm sure that shady ass place he bought it from had half-repaired some heap that's why my family raised me to always buy outright.
Adrian Hill
Well if I remember what LPG said when BHPH was brought up they typically by shitty cars at auctions that real dealers wouldn't touch like flood damaged cars and the like for pennies on the dollar then flip then for over 200-300% profit
Hunter Sanchez
I mean, I'm not inside the industry like LPG is but anyone with half a brain should wonder how it makes sense for those places to take on the kind of risk they do with the broke dumbasses they extend credit to and the only rational explanation is that the cars they're putting under them ain't worth shit in real moneys.
I mean, I bought my Ram from a corner lot and he'd got it cheap at auction because it had tons of advanced sub-surface rust that was obviously going to cake off real soon but I didn't give a fuck about that and I was able to get him to pass on the savings pretty good because his father-in-law kept borrowing it off the lot and he wanted rid of it.
Juan Evans
I think it was his moms car
Nolan Murphy
>how it makes sense for those places to take on the kind of risk they do with the broke dumbasses they extend credit to and the only rational explanation is that the cars they're putting under them ain't worth shit in real moneys
They get what they paid for it in the down payment. Any payments are just gravy until they repo it and lather rinse repeat.
Julian White
I mean my gfs last car was from a BHPH place, even though I pleaded with her not to, she did and it was a '00 Neon w/3spd auto and 70k miles and they wanted a total of $11k for it in 2011, but the fucker ran with no issue until she popped a tire and went off road totaling the car, my point is some of them can be ok cars but not for the money those blood suckers want

This thread went from me feeling genuinely sick visualizing OP to having a warm bellied amusement thinking about PT Cruiser owners in general.
William Jenkins
>warm bellied amusement thinking about PT Cruiser owners in general.
Explain
Ian Perry
Mainly imagining this guy in Parkersburg but also just people in general zipping around in 230+hp little fake panel vans not giving a fuck what people think because they're fun and cheap and practical.
Daniel Edwards
I drive one of these, I call it the "Pee-Pee Loser", but I also refer to it as my "Urban Assault Vehicle". I fucking hate it, it's retarded fag bus, the hatchback is pretty convenient for shooting but it's always breaking down and right now the CV joints are fucked.
Hunter Flores
That was me, mine was bone stock except for my stereo and a junkyard intake that I put on it cause i didn't know any better and I liked the turbo flutter
David Rodriguez
I wish I could send back a message to 16 year old me about how important synthetic oil and regular changes are with turbocharged cars.
Jacob Powell
Fuck me I was 26 when I wrecked the GT If I could do it again I would just get a first gen Neon R/T Coupe and swap the EDZ turbo from the GT Cruiser/SRT-4, whichever was cheaper
Asher Jackson
Fits onto Lebarons too
Oliver Diaz
True, but the R/T Coupe was lighter, and with the suspension done right you get great handling little cars, but the EDZ turbo would cause torque steer like a bitch
Zachary Phillips
I'll trade you. For this neon, and ill give you $100. No one makes fun of the car, they just recognize that not everyone drives a good car. The pt has a stigma.
Jeremiah Jenkins
He could buy a lot of KFC ice cream with $100
Nathan Myers
if you drive a pt cruiser you deserve to get your car hit head on at 100mph so the car is destroyed and the driver is killed
John Murphy
3 worst cars
oldsmobile alero pt cruiser pt cruiser converible
Matthew Jenkins
3 worst cars
Dodge Grand Caravan Chrysler Town&Country Honda Odyssey
Because everyone who drives those cars do not know how to fucking drive.
Hudson Powell
>Where does the hate for PT Cruisers come from, anyway?
Besides the obvious, the other thing is that Chrysler found a loophole in the costly passenger car safety and emissions rules. By making a "utility truck" they were able to get cost-saving exemptions. Therefore, in one sense, the PT Cruiser design was partially the result of lawyers finding cost-saving loopholes in safety laws.
Is that good to build vehicles cheaper by using loopholes in safety regulations? It's not Lee Iaccocca's Chrysler company that's for sure. When I found out how the PT came about, I lost respect for it despite liking the faux retro exterior.
