Come October I will be four years driving a PT Cruiser and like it more than ever especially since I traded for a turbo last summer.

Unhappy Re: Tired of owning a PT
Yes it's expensive to buy those accessories. Consider that your vehicle will be worth less after your "improvement and modification" and maybe you'll leave the drill in the garage.

But then again, if your TACO BURNER isn't depreciating fast enough buy those parts and bolt them on!

And if you think those Hemi trucks are better try towing with one. The 5 speed automatics just can't decide what gear to stay in. Glad I took a ride before I wrote that check.

Daryl Sweetie!! Be nice-lots of people love to drill. Besides, if they are interested in keeping their PTs then resale value doesn't enter the picture. Some people like to drive the car til it dies!

Yup. I take it you never bought that Ram HEMI...

Just so you know, performance and appearance mods on Ram trucks are pricey also, compared to Chevy and Ford. It's all a matter of the number of trucks sold and the resultant customer base for mods.

Hence the O/D off button! Makes a big diff IMHO.
