Toot toot!

It's the Chrissy Cruiser!
 
After 7 arduous days, the silver PT Cruiser is mine. Picked it up in CT on Thurs. This is the first car I've owned that cost more than $500. Even though it's a 2001, this car is the first major item I've owned that was made in this century! (and it's styled after retro designs, go fig)
 
Have to thank my dad for picking it out. I wouldn't have given this car a second thought - I was looking at a Jeep. But my dad thought that this car was more my style. He was right - I LOVE IT!
 

Trés Vintageous
Aside from the alarm system and the remote starter that my dad put in for me - this car is completely stock. But that will soon change... I think I need to start w/ some smaller, more affordable accessories. I'm looking at replacing some of the interior pieces w/ chrome. I'm also thinking about adding some exterior moldings - a beltline and such.  Def new wheels, not sure about a spoiler. But, I was most excited to discover that I can get running boards, as well as a OEM continental-type faux spare tire for the boot! Opinions? Suggestions?
 
No, Kenny, I'm not going to add blue LED tubes!

I picture being mobbed by a fleet of pick-em-up truck drivers in flannel shirts...

"Is that there one of them space machines?"

or perhaps they will think it to be the ghost of some long dead 1940's farmin truck...
