My New 2006 PT Cruiser

Those who know me will cheer when they read that I’ve finally gotten rid of the Green Machine… or, as I affectionately called it, The Ghetto Cruiser.

Just under two weeks ago, I walked onto the lot at the local Chrysler dealer and drove off in a 2006 PT Cruiser. Okay, it’s no BMW — heck, it’s actually not a very expensive vehicle in today’s market — but it’s my first new car, and I do love it.

My favorite feature is the mini-jack input on the stereo, which permits me to plug my iPod directly into the stereo and forego the RF transmitter. Nice.
