I finally hauled Harold the Hoopty-Car in for repairs this morning, a nice slog down to Saratoga Springs for the nearest available State Farm-compatible body shop. My rental this time out is a PT Cruiser, which I've long been curious about. I can definitely file it under the category of "weirdmobile," with its window controls smack in the middle of the dashboard, right under the analog clock (!), and white-backgrounded dials that seem ready to broadcast messages from Alien Slavemaster Xnorq any second. That, and Harold has better subwoofers. Ah, well, it's not too bad, all told.

The funny part? As of dropping off the Oldsmobile, the front bumper was still in the back seat. No, I don't even remotely know why. Come home soon, Harold

Alien Slavemaster Xnorq? Made Of Win.

I've never been in a PT Cruiser, but they've been in the "weird" category for me already. Apparently they've got the same chassis as a Neon, from what I hear.

Saabs have the window controls in the middle, but they're on the console. As a former Saab driver, I can say that both parties being able to control all the windows is surprisingly useful on frequent occasions.

My Insight has the controls for both on the dash, but they're off to the left. That's pretty handy.

Is the PT Cruiser that car that looks like a sport hearse?

I think it looks like a baseball cap on wheels.
