I Drove a PT Cruiser & It Was Terrible

This morning at 6:00AM I realized that I did not book my car rental for my trip to Sacramento today. I logged onto the company travel planner and there were NO National Cars available....no Enterprise, No Hertz, No Avis, No Budget. No Thrifty but there was a mid size available at Dollar. I booked it.

Upon arriving in Sacramento I visited the National Car booth just to see if I could get a car as an Executive member. They informed that I could but it would be $179.00 a day. Yeah, that isn't happening, I went over to Dollar. I filled out all the paperwork and they gave me the keys to spot 34. I was running really late at this point and when I got to spot 34, I saw a PT Cruiser. I almost hyperventilated! I did not have enough time to get back in line (the line was long) and make it to my meeting. So I broke down and not only rode in but drove the car I hate more than anything on the planet!

The car was terrible. Aaron and Tommy tried for 10 minutes to figure out how to open the trunk-We never figured it out. (Seriously?) It had this stupid handle above the glove compartment and on the gear selector it had this terrible ugly silver knob. I hated the car but most of all I hate that I can no longer say "I have never been in a PT Cruiser and I never will be"

There is no bigger pile of American-made crap than a PT Cruiser. :)

You do not look happy at all. I still wonder...How many FSO techs does it take to open the trunk of a PT Cruiser?? ...the world may never know!

(not a fan of the PT Cruiser either)

That is the unhappiest KT face I have ever seen.

Only once have I seen anything that even came close to that look.
