Caption This: “Custom, One Of A Kind, Act Now Before It’s Too Late…”

The poor Chrysler PT Cruiser. It started off so well…a tiny Plymouth Truck (yep, that’s what the PT stood for) to match the Plymouth Prowler in that weird 1930’s renaissance retro look deal that they threw as a Hail Mary before DaimlerChrysler dropped the guillotine. When they hit the dealership lots, people were snapping them up left and right. Then they figured out the downsides of a repackaged Neon…tight working room, a great look hindered by most of the Neon’s available engines (the 2.4L turbo cars were lively) and the questionable quality control from that era of DCX. If you loved them, you really loved them. If you kind of liked them, then trust us: you probably dodged a bullet.

Picking up a PT Cruiser off of a dealership lot is completely and utterly at your own risk, but this “loaded” example with the tricked out paint is in need of a new home. If the original paint (which is either dark blue or black, but we can’t tell) was left alone it might be worth looking at. But we never knew you could get “Holographic Sprite” colored flames added on! You readers did a great job of selling that kind-of-a-Lincoln limo, let’s see what you can come up with here!

    Wife and kids stopping you from jumping out of the closet? Happy experimenting in college but want to “Dodge” any awkward question? Being on the fence got you wanting you to be a flamer but not full blown? Did you answer yes to these questions? Perfect because this little gem is half flames and only gay enough to send the right message to the right people. This 2006 PT Cruiser will have you Part Time (PT) Cruising in style. With easy to clean leather seats, a moon roof so you don’t stucco the head liner and a automatic transmission to always have a free hand. Just because gay marriage is legal doesn’t mean people wont be judgmental bastards, so keep them guessing and get your freak on. Act fast before its gone. Comes with grease gun and assortment of handkerchiefs.

    Had just a plain one and liked it. Good seating position and decent to drive. Hard on gas and the same turning radius as a dump truck, though. I think the PT stood for Personal Transport??
