Been waiting for an opportunity to post to this thread. While on vacation in Gatlinburg my wife got a new job offer. We had been talking about buying a convertible since last year when I rented one for her birthday. We decided when she got the job that we'd go ahead and do it. We saw one of these near our home a while back and fell in love with it and fortunately my sister-in-law spotted the exact same car at a lot in Hickory, NC. We stopped off on the way back from vacation and bought it! With the kids nearly grown we aren't really "van people" anymore so our second childhood has officially begun! This is a 2005 PT Cruiser in "Cool Vanilla."

Taken at Reynolda Village


Me after a surprise 50th birthday bash for my old roommate. The car technically belongs to the wife but......dude it just reminds me of an old Fender Strat with that color!
