I had one. They are not made for winter driving lol. But they are absolute tanks. Idk if they actually are heavier than other cars I’ve driven or just feel that way lol
Less shit to work on with the 1991. I have a 2003 BMW X5 and holy shit it blows my mind how many crazy computer parts it has. It’s the base model with the manual transmission too.
It just recently started falling apart on me after many years of driving it. All at once the heat and AC stopped working, the windows fell down into the doors (no shit, all of them in just a few weeks).
It’s been a damn good car though, and I might get 10 more good years out of it once I fix all of this stuff.
I don’t know what they do differently at BMW, but that car is parked on the grass (for at least 5 years this coming February) and still has the original exhaust. Isn’t that crazy?
I didn’t. It was a gift. It has been an amazing car though.
I had nothing but bad luck all if my life, buying beaters that barely moved, weren’t safe, and left me stranded constantly. I walked to work and begged for rides constantly. I had to walk 4 hours down a mountain on the way, 4 hours up a mountain on the way back. Most of the time I’d get lucky and someone would pick me up once I got around the 2 hour mark and walked into civilization.
I’m dirt poor. I’ve spent a lot of years in that struggle.
Would you believe that I haven’t paid a penny for any of the vehicles I own right now? I just had a pile of good luck. Some of it was good luck that came from bad things, like a friend of mine passing away and leaving me his car.
I will say though. I absolutely love the X5. It has been the most reliable and most comfortable car I’ve ever owned.
Aight, seems like you’ve been through a lot, I was going to say how unecological and pathetic it is to buy big 4x4 to drive in cities, but you’re probably one of the few people that has a real use for it, plus you didn’t buy it. Glad it served you well. I still hate most bmw drivers… Toxic pieces of trash that believe their time is more valuable than everyone else
I actually didn’t hate that small strange era that spawned the PT Cruiser and Chevy SSR.
I have no idea what was going on in the minds of those car designers at the time. But I didn’t hate it.

I fucking loved pt cruisers
I think I still do
PT cruisers are fuckin straight. Decent cargo space, completely invisible to cops. Some mechanical problems but whatever.
Yeah, that’s why you get six of them. When you have a problem, you just pull a part out of another one.
Until recently, I had three jeep liberties, but somebody stole one of them. Oh well. Now I have two.
I have three Cherokees, though one is a 91 the other two are 01. Soemhow the 91 needs less work on average.

Always wanted to ask, why did you buy this monstrosity of a “car”, what were your motivations ?

You are alone except for the one other person in this thread.
That’s fine. People have had shit taste in cars for decades. Or rather, had terrible car designs foisted upon them by carmakers.
Yep. The pt cruiser is evidence of that 😁
There’s a guy who works near me and I frequently drive past his SSR. Gotta say I’m not a fan but as long as he’s happy with it then great.
I do, it was too appeal to baby boomers who had memories of the era is styling was taken from. You can lump the Plymouth Prowler in there too.
