PT Cruiser (Harvey)

Ever since I saw one a the Detroit Auto Show I thought that the Cruiser was pretty neat looking car. In late 1999 early 2000, my wife and I thought that we should replace my then aging 1991 Buick Regal, It was starting to develop some problems (no gas gauge, flaky speedometer). Shortly thereafter Automobile magazine gave a pretty glowing review of the PT Cruiser, and it seemed to fit the bill of what I wanted in my next car: not a sedan, not a SUV, but something with a single passenger/storage compartment. Unfortunately I had taken enough ribbing with the Buick ("Look Guy got his old man's car.") That I wanted to avoid the minivan/station wagon, since that was going to lead to just more hilarity. So on April 5th, the local Chrsyler dealer got one in for me to take a look at (it was already sold having been purchased in December by someone even more anxious). I fit in it nicely and the amount of storage space was pretty nice. So I placed an order. The salesman said it would be in in May. . . of 2001. So we fixed the Buick a bit and started waiting and saving money. Finally January 17th, it came in, and on the 18th we drove it home

I'll get a picture of the title up once the state sends it to me. :-) I'll also get some interior shots up soon.

I do call it Harvey, and it does have a theme song:

      Harvey, Harvey, Harvey the Wonder Cruiser
      He doesn't stall
      He doesn't race
      He just drives with style and grace
      Harvey, Harvey, Havey the Wonder Cruiser.
      Yeah Harvey!
