Perils of Age

I've had my PT (Tom––Tom Cruiser) since the get go and can't say enough good things about it. Although it's been an accident magnet, it has survived several minor crashes and a major clash with wildlife and has done very well. My only complaint is that I keep my cars a long time (10 to 12 years, over 150,000 miles) and my little PT isn't holding up to age like I'd hoped. The wheels are a chronic problem for mine and several others I know. They corrode from the inside out and lead to slow leaks in the tires. The chrome peels away if the wheel is fixed. Radiators also seem to be a common problem. Body trim is popping off. So while I love my PT, Tom just isn't aging as well as I'd hoped.

I LOVE MY CAR!!! That is plain and simple...Just would like a V6, it is a little sluggish but once you get going it is great! Mileage is "average" at best...but I don't even mind that, I just love driving it, looking at it and showing it off!!!

Honestly the worst car I have ever owned. I am ready to push it over a cliff to take it out of my misery. It has been a maintenance nightmare. I have spent almost $6000 in maintenance this year alone.

In Luv with my PT

The styling of the car rekindled a "need-to-have" feeling that I had not felt since I bought my first 240Z back in the early 70's. I finally found my Patriot Blue Limited in January 2001 (when dealer stock was non-existant and the norm was to price it at up to $5000 over MSRP) but I had to drive over 200 miles away from home to get a reasonable price. Then the fun began ... New Tires (Potenza RE730), Shifter Kit, Headlamps etc. Still get people doing doubletakes when they see the PT go by ... Buy it, Drive it, Love It !!!
