windy

Ten years and two hundred thousand miles later, TT's van sputtered and let us know she was tired. I gave him my 2004 Honda Element and bought the car of my DREAMS. . . a PT Cruiser convertible!

In two days, we have put one hundred ten fun miles on Windy, driving her to the beach, around lovely Pcola, listening to Cat Country 98.7 and having a great time.

Biking and sweating in the morning, cruising and cajoling in the evenings. Sweet!!!

Congratulations! Nothing like a new car (and a convertable to boot!) to make you want to get out on the open road! Have fun & enjoy yourself!

cute car. Someone who loves country music, humm. I should send ya some really good stuff. I'm just sittin' up here next to Nashville doin nuttin'. There's all kinds of good stuff that you won't hear if ya don't have satelite radio but I've probably got it on CD.

I can honestly say it's sod all like my car. For a start it hasn't got a roof. A roof is essential to stop my cigarette ash blowin' into everyones eyes. Not that that would worry me. Can I have one? Actually two would be nice as I'd probably smash up the first. Two? uh?

(Yer deserve it babe x)

Oh snap! Check it out...look who's cruisin' in the Cruiser! I love your car Ms. Hatti Grace! I know most people frown at the design of the PT, which I dont exactly know why, but to me that is one cool car! And you got it in convertible which automatically knocks 10 years off of anyone, so yay!

I traded my cruiser in on a sleek Buick LaCross, that sails on ice & snow, but sniff, sniff....i truly LOVED my Cruiser - AND I could haul stuff lotsa stuff....there is a PT Cruiser Touring Club in Colorado that zips all over - ahhhhhhhh, maybe when I move back to 'cola I can buy Chuck one - and I can drive it....anyway when ya get 'em ya love 'em, huh? They are retro, zippy, and make a statement

too cute, girlfriend!

tarah just said this morning (as we were driving home)..."mom, isn't it amazing how much time we spend just driving to and fro?" i answered "yes" and thought to myself...and that's why this "old teenager" drives a sports car! i love our 05 roush mustang. i didn't learn to drive a straight shift until i was 43, and oh the fun that i missed all those years (grin).

have a blast in those wheels, girl!

What! Sorry ugly car. You should have got either Mazda MX5 or any Lotus or a Caterham or Westfield.

Alternatively an old MG not a new one.

Sorry - have a think that if you're buying a car without a roof buy one designed not to have a roof not one where a marketing department got the rubber out on the drawing.

I should talk - I drive a large estate car. My wife gets to throw the 206 around the lanes lucky thing.
