The PT luser thread

Ok, I have one and like it, no mods yet. Thinking about the woody and continental kits, maybe some white walls and moon hubs. My six year old wants traditional flames. Fire away.

haha!!! rad, so do I!! Even Budgie has one....budgie??? Dont know where he went with his
motley cruiser!!

I knew that my car would be scoffed at but I refuse to drive the kids around in a mini van
and I needed something to shove my gear in as well the drummers.. so I had them
give me the stock mopar 2" dropped sport suspension kit and stainless steel exhaust
system along with okay alum rims. Got it for $15,700 back in 2003. It was our first new
car purchase ever. I had dreams of losing these rims for the moons and the
split oval rear window with the roll pan in back that elim. the dumb black bumper...

eh..ran out of cash. The now 5yr old was 2yrs old when he stuck all my quarters into
the CD player so I only have a radio, but its fun to drive and old people still wave!

you need to post a pict!

coool..wow..boy do we have questions. The fact that you build them and drive one sez something about
them right!!

At first he thought it was stupid looking

Until he realized it was cool.

Funny, he said the same thing about creepers

Love the T bucket thang. Again, what is it with those Scandinavians that they sort of get Americana?

Also, so glad to see that I'm not the only PT looser. It was big and hard, and lonely when it was just me and Micheal Scott....that's what she said.

My theory: So many Scandinavians immigrated to the US about a hundred years ago, that most Americans are in fact Scandinavians

It ain't rocket science....

really now...

What, pray tell, is a "looser"? Does a "looser" have something to do with flowery pick guards?

Maybe if somebody tells somebody to "loose" the pick guard...?

Opposite of tighter?

My brother in law is a bean counter for crysler corperate. I was asking him why they are discontinuing the line after 2009. He says "they ran their course". Man I don't get it, that was the most profitable/popular model they have had in years. It's thinking like that, lack of hearing what the consumer wants, that has put them on the ropes. You don't see any K cars these days, but I bet 50 years from now, PTs will still be driven and modded by kids. I'll keep mine cherry until then...when I'm 94.

awesome, its NOT a depreciating hunk of excellent transport for me and my gear!! Maybe it'll increase
in value!!

And, then again, maybe not!
