2004 Chrysler PT Cruiser: Regular Car Reviews

PT Cruiser, the official car of giving your nine-year-old son a balloon-tired mountain bike to compensate for the effort of his D s light to buy loose tobacco in zigzags, hey, girl with the mouth, because when I'm inside, Wow. That's right, this is a Plymouth, oh wow, PT Cruiser, you know John Davis and his outside voice on the inside all the time, you never shut up with this car, it's a top speed, yeah, a globular charge went off towards the ceiling fan and a final push to bring all the excess and ass licking of the 90s to the end in one long rampage.

Production of the PT Cruiser lasted from 2000 to 2010 and, if you need a moment, a reference point, a sidewalk chalk line on the macadam to mark the moment Chrysler went down. The wagon here is whether jumping to conclusions was an Olympic sport. People who criticize PT drivers would be gold medalists a hundred times more than granted profile drivers. That's what we do, but we also like to approach it from a perspective of why a car appeals. to a certain type of driver and what the culture is behind that car and there are many ways to do that with the PT Cruiser.

Cruisers don't have a culture and many PT drivers probably couldn't tell you why they love them, although we're going to find out why, for them, many people just make general judgments about the PT Cruiser. Look at it man, it seems like old money, it seems like it's driven by the type of people who looked at everyone in the family because they agreed. With Archie Bunker unaware of his ignorance, the joke is on now or has there ever been a car more unfairly maligned than the PT Cruiser. Kids use them as an excuse to beat themselves up during long road trips and adults don't seem to have much.

Take it from them, this car lasted a decade, but there's something here beneath its retro styling and intimidated reputation. Enjoying a cruise depends largely on recognizing what you're getting. If you want a beefier engine you should probably buy a Mazda 3. and save yourself the time complaining in Edmonds, if you want something that favors performance over aesthetics go straight back to the 4-4-2 car, but the

hmm, the PT Cruiser is the Sunday Drive, it's the coast trip, the midday glow. Sol the permission slip to seek the warmth of foreign lands What is this car? Well, it's a two-door convertible or a 5-door hatchback.

The PT Cruiser was front-engined and front-wheel drive and was to be the first to be a Plymouth. but then Plymouth disappeared, so okay Chrysler PT knows who doesn't, no and those who don't PT stands for personal transportation, whatever that means, it was Chrysler's attempt to create a postmodern automobile, but we'll come back to that in a moment. moment. It was integrated. the retro styling of the old vans from the 1930s coupled with the more modern test-tech inline-four engines from the late '90s to mid-2000s and it drives well, there's nothing wrong with the shape where a PT Cruiser Drive was way ahead of its time. seat up good visibility Dimensionally looks a lot like that white 2nd gen Scion xB I drove a few years ago.

I didn't expect it to be fast and I didn't expect the PT Cruiser to be fast, so nothing surprised me. the driving characteristics of a PT or perfectly acceptable and perfectly ignoring it is like a Ruby Tuesday's that shares the parking lot with the Howard Johnson's where you stayed the night, the food at Ruby Tuesday's is perfectly acceptable and ignoring the 9:00 p.m. sustenance cooked in a bag and delivered as a plate of hot brown. I don't even know what I ordered and I don't care, just give me some hot brown and a pint of cool yellow because I have a puddle jumper flight at 7am. tomorrow Chrysler PT Cruiser, the car that belonged to your friend's parents, you wrote them immediately to read their Italian ice and discover that Oh, some parents swear a lot, the PT Cruiser is still a disaster of a machine that regurgitates a The mess of a father figure leading is a daughter crying at the main entrance to Dorney Parks, stop, we're here to have a good time, but here we are getting to the real meat of this review.

Look, PT Cruisers are driven these days and in 2016 by people who are trying to get their second or third chance at life and here's why even non-enthusiasts know that a PT Cruiser is a low car, an economy car. When the PT Cruiser was new, it was attractive to older parents and grandparents for the same reason the Scion xB was attractive mmm high seat height and roofline and ease of entry and exit people with AARP cards are careful with their vehicles and the retro styling reminded them of the good old days and the great old 105.5 FM, so they kept up with maintenance because by preserving these cars they were preserving their youth and as a result the PT Cruisers lived long and healthy lives and there is no reason to hate a PT Cruiser that's why you say and I know wait, look grandma can't drive anymore or I can't live anymore, so what are we going to do with her car?

Steve and Mary don't want it, they have a 5 Series and a Passat wagon, why do they want a PT Cruiser? And Kevin, well he just looked at it and laughed, he's got a Fiesta ST now Jennifer just got her license last year but she's had her eye on a Toyota Celica but oh, here's Frances, yeah. Frances and Meredith have WIC cards and their son and her daughter are on the free and reduced lunch program. Frances, she just has it so hard, you know, he put down the needle and Meredith she put down the bottle, but God, she's having such a hard time and you know, you know they were camping in Wellsboro, you know, all last summer, three years ago. months, that happened. after jerome decided that 200 a month two rooms in his crumb farm de ville, well that wasn't enough so they left, they are living in the temple now according to the mushroom plan, their craigslist os mobile bravado 1997 they are really losing compression, now you know, I have antifreeze. the oil and everything that runs Bush is reduced to nothing and even the scuff and scuff inspection stations don't pass it, but here's grandma's PT Cruiser and you know Steve is the executor of grandma's estate and he's just He wants you to spend five hundred dollars, yes. just get rid of it and here you have a perfectly functional car, what a blessing and Frances and Meredith are grateful because they are going to take care of this car the best they can, but when you're in their kind of situation, oil. changes tires new brakes air filters those things those things become something to save for, so PT Cruisers are deteriorating due to economic forces on the roads right in front of us and the sudden slide into labiation is something that we are only seeing in the past.

In just a few years, as cars move from boomers who can afford preventative maintenance to younger Gen Xers and older Millennials who can't, PT Cruisers have become a continuing reminder of the fragile nature of our own financial stability and a safe way to deal with that anxiety. to make jokes to point and laugh haha ​​look poor people yes yes they are poor I'm not poor I'm not poor they are poor I'm not going to be like them no, no, ha ha, we hate the PT Cruiser because I hate the idea that we are only two or three bad moments of buying one out of desperation and that is unfair to the PT Cruiser because it is not a bad car, they made 1 million three hundred and fifty thousand of these things and it is a five-door. liftback is very practical, I mean, look at the size of that hatch, the whole back of the car opens, eh, class done, that's enough for today's economics lesson.

I see some of you have the class schedule you will be heading to. Lydell 3:05 for literary theory, so have fun with that welcome back to literary theory. We are talking about postmodernism. There we go in the tradition of postmodernism. The PT Cruiser is a thoughtful version of the reality that Chrysler wanted to present to us. a reality where the exploits of the past are equally fascinating as the potential of the future and the key word here is equally postmodernism and if any of you in AP classes start writing this stuff, I'm giving you master's level stuff.

Right here, host modernism rejects the notion that any text, product or medium, and by text product or medium I mean anything written, anything photographed and multimedia, is anything that can retain and from which it can derive information, from building blocks to GoPro accessories, so this chair that's across the room, anything, this t-shirt I have is fine, you're Kutztown, this is media, any media is inherently more valuable than any other. I will repeat that postmodernism rejects the notion that any text or product or media is inherently more valuable than any other culture is a snake that eats its own tail everything old is new again everything deserves to be seen as art everything deserves an audience that consumes it whether it's this PT Cruiser the new Ghostbusters golden ax for Sega Genesis or even this review or this fart in the making or even that episode of Deep Space 9 or Cisco goes crazy and imagines he's a science fiction writer in the 50s anything goes and anyone can lift Thor's hammer Joe Rogan I speak to you directly in In several of your recent podcasts that you talked about, I am outraged by the culture, the type of people who look for reasons to getting offended, anger towards comedians, aggressive hecklers, this tension that you are experiencing and that your guests are experiencing what is modernism and post. -modernism fighting these are two completely congruent media theories from different stages of the 20th century. culture and times take a long time to make the transition.

The modernist era of the United States began with the Civil War or that is where romanticism could end. This is pretty heavy stuff for a PT Cruiser car review, but trust me, this one is good. Modernism started around 1860, 1861 and ended around the time we exploded the first atomic bomb which started postmodernism. Modernism, whether it has to do with visual arts, music, or literature, derives its meaning from effort. Remember that truth comes from effort. If you work hard enough at something, you will find the truth. Whatever that truth is, it doesn't matter, but you will achieve some kind of enlightenment if you work hard enough.

Modernism if you want modernism. architecture, look at old New York, look at the Empire State Building, which is a modernist building. It starts almost a block wide from the bottom and narrows to a point. All modernist structures end in a point. All your hard work has a foundation and builds. It's built and it's built and up there there's a needle up there there's a truth, I'm not sure what it is, but go up there and find it and anyone can reach these truths, work hard enough and there it is, that's the classic view of America. once we explode the atomic bomb and realize that everything man has built can be undone that way.

Why work hard? What is the point and ripple effect that made some people think well? Why even work hard for the truth? one of those alternative comedy venues where people don't even prepare, they just have fun, sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad, but you're supposed to experience it as it comes out and whatever it is, it doesn't matter if you work hard. Whether true or not, it sounds unfair, doesn't it especially for someone in the audience who has a physical job who worked hard all the time and has yet to achieve any kind of truth or catharsis for themselves and from their perspective they see to someone on stage? that you don't have to do anything but talk and from their perspective there is no truth in that because from their perspective there is no hard work or work in that so what you are seeing is postmodernism and modernism trying to fight but they There are two irreconcilable visions of the world.

I should be on a crash course once again. In modernism you only get the truth and you only get to enlightenment and you only get to value through work, but with postmodernism you don't have to do that at all. Everything is beautiful as it is, but if everything is beautiful then nothing is beautiful and there is the snake that eats its own tail. The postmodern inevitably goes around and around and around and around, so

wanted to put out a car that valued the past without The compromised values ​​of the most modern vehicles in the company's lineup in the postmodern world of Chrysler that began to them in the 2000s, taste remained as subjective as ever because the lines between reality and the media we consume become blurred.

Not that one cruise is objectionably better than any other. You might get another car, but for some people there's just something about it. Part of the bad reputation the PT Cruiser has is that it shares a bloodline with a Dodge Neon. It is a car invented byridiculous and maybe you can cheer for the SRT for being its Savior, the Dodge Neon wasn't really a bad car and more specifically, we're talking about the second generation Neon, which is what the Chrysler PT Cruiser is based on. It's basically the same car, the second generation Neon PT Cruiser, the same car and the fuel economy was not better, but if you just focus on what you're getting, you'll be surprised how well the PT Cruiser does. for you.

Accelerate gently. It won't be the kind of trip you like, but it's strangely relaxing, especially if your life is a mess, it's like the security and familiarity of a wah-wah at 2:00 in the morning because there are few things in this world more Sylvania and the hoagie fest, so everyone who wants to make fun of the PT Cruiser know that this the machine comforts you in an angry world it's like filling a dropper with the present adding a few drops to the nostalgic waters of the past it feels familiar in ways you might not recognize the days before you close the Excel spreadsheet at work to check espn.com For the latest news back in the days when mixed martial arts VHS tapes were back in the porn selection , it's like seeing an old friend and saying yes and then realizing you've become one of those people who says yes is remembering all those things you forgot like 1-800 CA ll ATT you have a collect call from band practices, pick me up and take you back to the oversized Sega channel for the WWE network's six-month engagement, the PT Cruiser is here and now, but it's also then, will you be my brown ID bag And I am a car that has no movies or real emotions to move?

Do you want my brown bag? Do you want my brown bag? Will you need my bone bag?
