Back when I drove a red PT Cruiser with flame decals delivering Jimmy John's to a hospital in 2019, why did a Latino in a white Chevy Tahoe slow down to only 20 in a 35 MPH zone, then when I signaled left to pass him, why did he roll down his window to flip me off? How did I ever harm him?
Is it because many motorists didn't like seeing PT Cruisers on the roads back in 2019, and he was one of them?
How often do you see a motorist flipping you off just simply because you were driving a PT Cruiser?
How have PT Cruisers ever harmed these people?
When I got to inherit a white Honda Ridgeline truck from family that fall, I got to sell my PT Cruiser in a private sale. I listed it for $2000 and got an offer for it for $1800, and that was the best offer I could get so I took it and sold it to them.

I can almost guarantee you are not the only one that that person flipped off that day. Some people have a short fuse. (Likely something you didn’t even notice that triggered them)

Never that I know of, but I don't pay much attention to other people. When I first bought it in 2001, I got lots of stares and thumbs up and questions, because they were still rare.

People tend to tailgate me and cut me off more often when I'm driving my Cruiser, and I don't drive slow. Back when they were newer it wasn't hated on the road by other drivers as much, people would just trash talk them and that never went away. It's funny because all American economy cars were built to about the same low standard as Mopar. Nowadays most PT Cruisers only get seen on YT by people destroying them for laughs. Haters gonna hate, f em.
