I'd love to know the backstory here.

PT Cruiser people are weird.

Relevant Donut Media video

And/or older.

Young people buy them too.
They're ridiculous. But it does happen.

[–] Addv4 3 points 3 months ago

Oh, I believe it. They're not great, but they are often a common handme down to the poorist relatives when an older member of the family dies, as well as just generally being cheap to get.

My little cousin got one because she loved how "cute" it looked

Coming from someone who's dad has a PT Cruiser: yeah they're weird

[–] NeptuneOrbit 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He buys one because the wife likes the look of it.

A few years later it needs some major repairs and he's mad. He sees they now sell pretty cheaply used and buys a bunch to do the future repairs himself. Before you know it....

Or it's a composite photo. Wouldn't be hard to put a camera on a tripod and move the car around.

Ahhh, a composit photo makes sense.

I could also understand multiple cars for parts, but the identical color threw me. I've got a neighbor with a dozen miatas on his property at any given time. He races them and parts them out.
