Lisa- The ashtray is a MOPAR accessory for the PT. It's a little cup, I think ( I don't have one).
As for memories....the first week we had the PT we were at a red light when a big rig driver headed the opposite direction stopped his rig dead middle of the intersection, hopped out & ran across the lanes to ask us about the car. We were freaking out!!!
You also used to walk out to your car , when shopping, to find at least 3-15 people milling around the car looking inside & then you had to give a "tour" to show them all the cool stuff in it ( like the picnic table rear shelf).
I got some of Rich's "Look , Admire, Criticize...but please don't TOUCH my PT Cruiser" window clings for just such occassions. It was really annoying to wash the car to perfection & come out to find nose & finger prints all over it!
OH! One more really funny memory was the older lady who walked through Walmart looking for me, after she saw me pulling into the parking lot. She actually went into the store & bought a disposable camera. She then asked if I could take a picture of her sitting in the car & standing by it. I opened it up & she had me snap the whole camera in pics of her behind the wheel, in the back, next to it, etc. She said the PT was her "Dream Car"... how could I say no? ( I was rather flattered actually. I could have been in a Viper for all the attention & adoration she bestowed on my little PT).
