I think the PT Cruiser has our engine in other parts of the world (like south Africa). Both coming from the BMW/Chrysler joint venture plant in Brazil. But not the PT here in the States.

Hey, there you go. the best 2nd car to own. A sign of sure success is someone who has little and buys just one very good item.

I think you should add some chrome options to those though. THe black and white motif is classic, but you need some highlights. also, I would give those an hour worth of detailing.

Jeep trail on Rt33W..about 30 minutes from you. There are quite a few trails there.....we lost the 30 day temp tags on our TJ when crossing the Dry River there Can you say water over the hood??
Trail #2

Second Mountain / Ditcum Ridge Loop (Tread Lightly sponsored)

Follow above directions to get to 33 west.
Once on 33 west turn right onto Second Mountain (There is a non standard wooden sign with white letters).
That's it!
Follow the loop around till it gets back to 33.
(Not many camping spots on the above trails)

LMAO, yea, it's 4-wheel drive with only 66K on it and the same color combo as the MCS... what a coincidence!

With trailer hitch...my pick-up and long haul car. Fun to work on...great on long cruises...gets 20 MPG in town...and 24-26 highway. And it is the complete opposite of my Mini.....so when I want smooth non shifting ride....drive my 7.

Wife's car: 2002 Jeep Liberty Sport 2wd: Steel Blue (single year color)

Coming soon: 2007 Ford 150 ext. cab: white and plastered with company logo.

WTH~!
