So back eight years ago, or so, Chrysler introduced the PT Cruiser. It was marketed as having "retro styling", and was a hit with the public. I decided to buy one and expound on that "retro" idea Chrysler was pushing. After buying one I immediately called my buddy Randy, and after a long weekend this was the result of our collaboration:
I soon sold the little thing, and really haven't thought a lot about it since. That was until a couple of days ago when I was driving on the 201. I looked into the rearview and it was coming up right behind me! I recognized it right away!
You know I do get excited about cars, but it is always more exciting when I see one is my own - well an old one anyway. Or a current one - especially if it should be home in the garage...
I kept turning around quickly in my seat. I kinda bounced up and down. I waved. I honked. I made a motion with my fist. I flashed my lights. I swerved into the other lanes a few times, and I may have even hit a small animal.
Now that I think about it I'm lucky I didn't get shot. Next time you think someone might be suffering from road rage - maybe they just used to own your car!
That's me, I'm him...

- DISCLAIMER: Although I am a car guy this is not solely a car blog. I will talk cars, but this is also a blog about how I view the world. Just ask my mom and she will tell you my first word was "car". I do have a slight fascination with them. Luckily I have a supportive family and a very understanding wife...
