Nothing is parked in my driveway. I park in the garage.
I guess you didn’t notice that I’m the guy from earlier who claimed to be a former PT Cruiser owner. I love how the OP thinks that by ending with a prediction that PT Cruiser owners will be offended, that it somehow absolves him of blame for writing an ignorant and offensive OP. And certainly YOU weren’t trying to offend anyone by comparing us to folks with HSV, either, I am sure.
Marley, read the OP. It was never really about the cars. It was a hyperbolic venting based on my very real experience with the owners of many PT Cruisers. And say what you like about broad-brushes and irrational, sweeping generalizations–This thread was all about saying, “Man those cars are ugly, and in my experience the people that drive them suffer from marked and outwardly focused cognitive defecits. Which observation I KNOW to be irrational and overly broad but I’m going to have a laugh at myself.” But, regrettably, someone got their panties in a bunch and missed the point. Whatevs.
FTR, I don’t want to “mix it up” I want to laugh at some more steroetypes that are so outrageous even those who hold them know them to be unjustifiable. But alas, now that it’s spelled out, the magic is gone. Close it then.
fuggin PT Cruiser owners hadda show up and spoil the fun…
I get it. My point is that you can take all the potshots you want at people who don’t post here, but the three of you were getting close to insulting each other, which isn’t allowed.
Wierd. I picture it as a middle aged man with a receding hairline, or mostly-bald-except-the-sides hair… With glasses, he must have glasses., and gray hair.
In the mid-80s I worked at a service station on the New Jersey Turnpike. (Joyce Kilmer, if you must know.) A lot of lore relating to cars and their owners was passed around by the bored pump jockeys. The only one that I retained was the one that seemed truest: that people who drove personal vehicles with diesel engines tended towards jerkishness, and people who drove diesel cars (as opposed to pickups) were almost always rude. The only diesel cars I can recall pumping were various Mercedes (and maybe BMW?) and this one big-ass type of Oldsmobile. Which seems like it would be 2 different groups of people.
Still, when I see a diesel car, I think, “Probably a jerk.”
Yeah… way to twist that knife in us a bit. Those of us who have the older models had to pay extra for the V8 to get that horsepower. Now it is considered standard on the basic model.
But I’m glad mine isn’t restricted to only 30 Miles per Hour… the restrictor on mine is set at 150.
