[Re: 87 vw scirocco 16v]

my folks bought one of those (for stupid reasons) and now they are impressed
with it. The PT Cruiser is a car that likes to be driven.... REALLY SLOW.
Last night my Dad explained to me that he'd be happy to get 25 MPG out of
his car (he calls it a car! I call it a Mini-Minivan) and dreams of the day
that it's paid off so he can sell the thing (aparently he's totally locked
in). I've taken the car yout for a little jaunt, and after that swore that
I'd never drive one again, even if it was given to me. I'm not a minivan
person, and the driving position is that of a minivan. the only problem with
that is that you've got the handling of a minivan, but the space of a car!
it's got about as much power as my scirocco, and will accelerate as fast,
but it can't take a corner half as good. just not a good car in my
opinion...
I could go on longer but I can feel people snoring, and I'm sorry if I
caused any offence, but I'm just stating my opinion.

there it is, my two sense,

For a Neon maybe, for our representative of the breed (the PT (Puked Tranny)
Cruiser), you'd just hope you could outrun the tow truck (towed again last
night, oh, the second tranny's fine, now it just won't run). (Dang, we
almost
hit 40 000 kms too) Mopar bashing? I FAR prefer it to Honda bashing, but
it's
WAY too easy.
