I bought my Volvo with a scratch already installed. It's worked wonders!

I'm very much not a car guy. So long as it isn't absolutely awful to look at (xB; PT Cruiser; the latest Mustangs) and and reliably gets me where I'm going I don't much care about it.

So that has made the slow accumulation of dings pretty non-traumatic. Though we have one on the front right corner panel that for the life of me I can't figure out how it happened short of direct intent.

I have to say this, because my daughter has a PT Cruiser.

Gawd, I thought they were yucky. I was given chances to win one {via a drawing} and I passed. {that is a lot considering I enter a ton of contests and I needed a new car sooo desperately, but, I guess, not that desperately}.

So, years down the road, my daughter informs us that the car she has decided upon buying is, indeed, the PT Cruiser. I kept quiet and tried to suggest other cars. Nope. This was it. Or a 1940 some type of car or an old hearse!!! PT Cruiser it was.

But, hers is cool! I have found the backseat to be so comfortable and it is fun to drive, too. But, hers is cool. It is all black with black tinted windows, a bit of chrome, and, a big black bat on the windshield.

Recently we saw the HRs and my husband said they were ugly. They remind me of those old pick ups or whatever that have a cover on the back? Like a paddywagon? {forgive me car buffs if I am slaughtering whatever they are called}. So, an old car. And, I saw an old car and it looked like the PT Cruiser so I guess that is why my daughter likes it.

My Exploder (just for you NM) made great friends with the wall of my car port several months before I decided to sell it.

It wasn't the deciding factor in trading it in for my 3 but it helped. Good thing I don't get attached to inanimate objects like stuffed animals or anything bull****. Now I feel guilty.

Someone wasn't paying attention when they backed our car out of the garage and they whacked the passenger side mirror right off the car. That someone was *not* me, but he pretended it was when he took it in for repair so the guys wouldn't hassle him.

Gemini Cricket · 02-01-2007, 05:33 PM

Holy crap! That freakin' sucks.
Now I'm wondering if those crazy guys we saw from the table had anything to do with it. Hmmmm.

That old car would be a packard. I think the PT Cruiser looks like the old Packard. Except the faux-woodies, which look like a cross between a Packard and a Woody.

(no NM, KB... not THAT woody!)

I take decent care of my Blazer. Especially when it was under warrenty. I made sure it got its checkups every 2500-3000 miles. I paid it off over a year early. Made sure the front end was rebuilt before the warrenty expired. I came out of Toys R Us one day to find a gash in the paint on the driver's side. I know when where and who. It was a pissy lady with 5 kids who was blocking 3 parking spots. I had the nerve to ask her (nicely) to move the shopping cart so we could pull in. I know it was her.

I hate it when crap happens to my car, crap that is out of my control.
