Has it been a week already? Nolan: guys.. we're wearing the same t-shirts

I swear the guy in the blue shirt sounds and looks like Deadpool’s friend who works at the bar.

You guys really need some visuals when you're talking differences of cars. Get yourself a Young Jamie to pull that up

Hi/lo PT Cruisers!!

I am from mexico and I have Pt Crusier, They are good car, I will suscribe in the chanel

I dont know how many times I've been working on a car getting frustrated with a part and say "Who in the hell engineered this damn thing?"

Thanks for making an objective review. The PT is an icon of a bygone era of old school Detroit guys like Lee Iacooca and Maximum Bob Lutz, for all the good and bad that goes with it. One could do a whole show on the factory special editions that Chrysler pumped out to keep up the interest among customers without actually spending money to update the car. The Ron Jon Edition mentioned was an early one, however it was not the same as the factory woodie appliques that were available as a $1200 option, rather an aftermarket kit and taillights that were a dealer installed option package available to Florida buyers. The Dream Cruiser was a series of 5 models that started with the Aztec Gold Series 1 in 2002, it was naturally aspirated 2.4 but had the front fascia of the GT that was yet to be released. The 2003 GT was used as the basis for 5000 of the Burnt Orange Metallic Dream Cruiser 2, so it had a 215 hp engine in addition to the special interior featuring orange inserts in the leather seats and door panels. 2004 saw a more subdued and limited edition Dream Cruiser Series 3 with only 1306 of the two toned Midnight Blue over Bright Silver Metallic cars produced with the GT specs and interior that had a more reserved look with dove gray inserts with embossed headrests featuring the Chrysler crest. Even the glass was tinted blue. This was a $5000 option over the price of a loaded GT before dealer gouging, which was still going on with the PT, putting them out the door with TT&L over $32,000 2004 dollars. The Dream Cruiser Series 4 used the 2005 GT convertible with a Deep Lava Red paint code and a special dark red canvas roof to make 1500 examples. The 2009 Dream Cruiser 5 was available with or without the 180 hp turbo, the GT had been dropped in 2007. It was painted a Bright Diamond White with a metallic black roof pane, wheels left over from the SRT-4, and a massively built chrome grill. Allegedly 1700 were sold. The Street Cruisers that filled in from 2006 to 2008 were generally loaded like a GT but without the turbo engine. The Bright Yellow 2006 Route 66 was also offered overseas in black, the 2007 Pacific Coast Highway was in Surf Blue, and the 2008 Sunset Boulevard had a nice Sunset Chrystal Burgandy color. All the Street Cruisers had badging on the tailgate and the doors calling out their special-ness. I could go in to the Platinum Edition, the Walter P. Chrysler Signature Edition, the Couture Edition, the Decade Edition, etc... but I doubt anyone is still reading by now.

11:01 I live in Metro Detroit only about 10 minutes from Woodward Avenue and if the sun is out and it’s warm even remotely, every car person is out driving around. It’s the main hangout spot for my friends and I and has been since high school when we got our first cars. One of the reasons I don’t want to leave Michigan is because I’ll miss cruising Woodward with the guys all the time lol.

You guys should totally do an episode on scion.

James, Nolan! Just want you guys to know that I have never listened to podcasts, EVER! That has changed, because listening to you guys talk about automotive history is frickin sick! It is still the only podcast I listen to. Wish you made them 2 or 3 times a week

I want a PT Cruiser. Extend the front end, put the 350sbc I got in it, used junkyard mustang rear and front, and throw as much torque at it to try and make it do wheelies. All the cool hotrodders ones look stock on the outside and lack the hotrod look. That's probably what kept it from gaining the "cool" appeal 1930s car have now.

My first car was an electric blue 06 pt touring, she could do little burn outs and drift for days, and had a lovely fast 0 - 40 faster than most cars, she was lit. I stepped up to the gt model after lwards and she did burn outs at every stop, and could win agenst most mustangs and fast modern fords, i went with a style of my own based more off of a 09 dream cruiser Bumper of a silver pt (matches dash, 05 neon split 10 5spoke 17" wheels And some other goodies on the interior

I've had mine for 16 years and never knew about all of the engineering advancements came about to be through these cars and the Prowler.

Cool and info on the pt.and good times laughing about the time laps of the car. Lots of great info on your show.

I had one, paid $200 for it. Had 110K miles on it when I got it, had 171k miles on it when I gave (not sold) it to a buddy who needed a car. I never once checked the oil. Couldn't open the hatch the whole time I owned it. I did learn that if you jump them, they fly flat and land pretty smooth, so there is that.

I had a 2008 and refered to it as the "PART TIME" cruiser because we never knew when it would work it quickly became a hole in the ground that we had to throw money into every month . The longest stretch of time without a break down was 4 months and it only had 30k on it when we bought it .the resale value was garbage

Y’all should do a podcast on the $100,000,000 F1 spy scandal between Mclaren and Ferrari!

I keep seeing less and less likes on donut podcasts since the first one, these are underrated tbh, the first podcasts that i find enjoyable

Yo! Nolan Could you do a video about your Podcast studio (BTS) ? Your equipment, workflow etc? Like do you do postprocessing or just stream out the video and the audio of the video becomes the podcast? That would be nice! Regards .

“You either die a hero, or live long enough to become the villain.”

Yeah I had one they're talking about the issue with the frame barely clear in the crank pulley and the dog bone motor mount

I live in Colorado. The pt group is huge. We had a silver pt.

So these podcasts seem like they are basically the raw script for up to speed

2:40 lmao I love these guys 😂😂😂

2 writers = 1 James It's just math

The Ron Jon came w a free surfboard

You guys should put up pics and stuff of the things you guys talk about and look at. We wanna see what you guys are looking at.

c100 & a7's and atomos recorders for this simple interview?! cool dedication to quality guys!

🇲🇽 Hécho en Mexico! 🇲🇽

I like your video. Last year i baught pt crusier and in one year i spend like 4 thousand on this car . i changed battery transmission oil timing belt . then in december heater core burnt car was over heating so pend anorher thousand to fix heater core then alignment done exsaust was so lound so i change that then tires were not good so i changed all four tires and break pads and rutors . then break lights went off . once the rediator fan was stop working .many times car get over heated .now i hope engin transmission stays ok i will put then if i have to just because i love old style car nice interior but who have that much extra money and time to keep fixing things so my question is did chrysler design this way so people love and hate it ??

I am so confused didn’t this come out last year in November???

michael scott did drive a PT but his car for most of the series was the convertible Sebring lmao

you guys need to show example pics of the thing you’re mentioning pleaseeee!!

I remember when this car was released, no matter where i went it was a universal joke, know as a dishonour to the hot rod... god i cant even look at it

There's a 800whp pt cruiser you can find out there. It's pretty crazy.

A friend of mine had one. He called it "The PTSD Cruiser" and hated the damn thing, it never worked properly

8:43 Brian Sett Sir not Seltzer...kids today...

I’ll make that Pronto concept

Look over a few RT Podcasts. They cater to audio podcasts listeners just fine but they also have visuals, so when discussing items you're looking up on the laptops show them on the video too. You can still explain it etc for audio listeners but it also caters to the visual ones too.

I am from Austria and how americans say Graz is just too funy to me. 😂🇦🇹😂

Thank you guys for sharing this hilarious piece of car history. I can't believe the PT Cruiser was such a hot item back in the day.

Can you guys do a past gas on Will T. Ribbs aka Uppity

Hi guys! Please consider doing a past gas on Camel Trophy!

My favourite PT is the PT - SD

Ik it's been done already, but it wouldn't hurt to create a Hellcat swapped PT Cruiser, or in this case the HC Cruiser lol

The blocks we're all cast iron they were never made in aluminum. Got about 8 on the shelf.

For me it was always the 2001-2005, afterwards it was a miss. 2006-2010 just didn't look nearly as cool.

Still love my PT gt got it cheap and has enough room

So "convert it to 3 wheels" possible means you make a lowrider that can lift a wheel? And jump possibly? (I know that's dumb because you need a long car for that but I wanted to leave that here)

You guys look like you belong in Dungeons & Dragons podcast

Why am I here learning about PT cruisers? Again.

Tom gale impersonation sounds an awful lot like kip bud lol

There is nothing on this earth that can be done to make the PoonTang Cruiser the slightest bit cool.

Our local Indian reserve has one in every backyard...

You won't believe how good of a burnout car the stock pt can be

I loved my 02 PT. I really hated the 07 PT we had. It was garbage.

I watched. Love you guys but my opinion has not changed. Lol

Lmao only the real donut fans are here. 820 views. I love you nolan. You're a thicc boi but thicc bois are very nice.

Only old people can afford new cars.

Come on now Chrysler, you knew your target demo for the PTC was old people, why not go with elderberry instead of cranberry for that flame style name?

I'd almost rather get into a wreck in an 80s car than a pt cruiser it's a 50/50 flip on serious injury also I've been in two or three pt cruisers and they all shake like crazy side wobble

I got mine in high-school in 1995 and modded it quite a bit with wheels, Borla exhaust, shifter (it was a manual!) and electroluminescent gauges. Drove it until 2007, when I traded it in for a Charger Daytona RT!

Donut for breakfast

Put up pictures of what you’re talking about for the love of herspoweerrrssss. Thank you

Pt Gt had mufflers And the 5 speeds in the Pt Gt are Getrag 288s which are damn near indestructible

My wife told me if I admit to liking the pt cruiser she will only be able to love me 99%

I don't give a flying fart about the critics, i LOVE IT

neat

I'm here

Lmaoooo “a nice Kia”

The PT Cruiser was the ultimate boomer car

I'd chop the roof, delete the rear doors, extend the frame in order to throw on a Dodge Dakota bed, drop it, wheels, tires, Hemi, rwd.

I had one and i loved it and someone pulled out in front of me and i hit him doin 55 miles an hour and totaled it and broke my body but i loved it

This show would be 10x better if you could put prompts on the screen of the certain colors and certain PTs you are talking about. Describing the packages is one thing but being able to see them would make this so much better

Lol come on guys Jeremiah "when you're dropping the engine in before the hood goes on " you're a car guy its a very small front wheel drive car the entire power train engine/trans is assembled on the sub frame then installed from the under side

PT cruisers are good for 1 thing. The 2.4L turbo motor and throw it in a neon lmao

I worked at a restraunt a couple years ago that would have a pt group come in all the time. Fuckin weirdest people in that group. It blew my mind when i found out their group was based around the ugliest car ever made imo

Show us the cars you're talking about, EVERYTIME

Casey Kasem was a good "Get" ..... He's been dead for years .

Pt cruisers were ok. But the same transmission as the old minivans that were known for being prone to failure already. Also the bumpers were ugly, so unless you did an expensive bumper delete it looked pretty goofy, i used mine for years and loved it but i got rid of the thing before it ever needed anything major replaced @ 140xxxmi

Stop breaking the 4th law lmao it's blowing my mind🙃

*Sees new podcast* Opens KZfaq *Sees James isn’t in it* Closes KZfaq

they're great car until you have to have it fixed. It costs a small fortune if anything goes wrong with the engine to have it fixed

I think most people in the rest of the world just looked at the thing and didn't even know what the hell they were actually looking at. No matter who I talk to about cars here in germany, the Multipla and the PT Cruiser are considered the top 2 ugliest cars ever made.

I'm 14 and own one want proof let me know

First view!

AYEEEEEEE

lol i

They stopped because only fat and old nasty chicks drove them ! Same as mini vans ! lol

30 min episode about the pt cruiser! 😑

I remember when the PT came out and my Father like it...I hated it...obviously being young you wont understand Nostalgia...my son will look at me funny when Honda remakes a ugly Integra and I talk fondly of it

Drop an LS into the PT Cruiser and call it the PT Bruiser

So they had a V6, Turbo 4 banger, and a V10 Viper engine, but not a V8? Weren't they trying to please hot rod loving boomers? They used everything, but what they love.

Part Time Cruiser... hippie mobile...

Junk

whoever said the pt cruiser was a hit is a damn liar. it's always been a huge joke.

Cause it's lame and terrible Nolan, just like the deftones

I guess everyone knows how to read!!! If you are making podcast it should be your information not google info or try to interview someone expert on whatever you are talking about instead of reading stuff from the internet and acting like an expert your self…. So annoying. 🙃

For a podcast, please stop reading us a history lesson. Just talk about the PT Cruiser with a base outline.... stop reading to us!

I watched this just cause my bestfriend owns one... and I stand by my opinion. The pt cruiser is the worst car ever hahaha
