Stupid Car

Dh had a PT appt today. We go out to the car, he gets in and I fold his walker and put it in the back. Have done this a "few" times and its like clockwork....sorta.

Number 1:I don't like his car(PT Cruiser)
Number 2:I don't like driving his car.
Number 3:Stupid car

Today happened a little different. Go out to the car, while he's getting in I open the hatchback, grab his walker, fold it and turn, WHAM, my head his the corner of the hatchback that didn't go all the way up.

I opened the damn thing and expected it to go UP, not stop halfway. Stupid Car. I thought for sure that as soon as I took my hand off I was going to be dripping blood. Thats how hard I hit. Stupid Car.

No stitches but a gash and it hurts like hell and there's blood in my hair. Stupid Car. They gave dh ice after his PT appt and I used it for my head. Stupid Car.

Get the boys to pee on it!! Stupid car. And watch yourself for concussion, please!
That's not good & hope your hand gets better & what is a PT Cruiser. We don't have cars like that in the UK
Ouch oweeee! :(

Take care and so sorry that happened to you!
Parwaz,
A PT Cruiser is an american car made by Chrysler. It's a small 4 door hatchback made to look like the American cars from the 1940s.
It's front wheel drive with a small 4 cylinder engine.
They were very popular in 2000 when they came out but their popularity quickly faded as Chrysler never really updated the car. I think it went out of production in or around 2008.

Here's a picture of one:

Thanks Mark. I see now
Gangster cars, that's how my friend described them. PT Cruisers have a loyal following. Obviously not in this case.
Oh Pam, OUCH!!! Hope you are okay? That darn car is jealous of your Jeep's awesome tire cover :hearts: Big hugs to you.

Most of the problem with the PT was that under the skin, it's just a crappy Neon. And for the record, the design was totally ripped from the 1946-48 Chevrolet line-up - that line being the first serious attempt to get the front fenders to flow into the main body by adding the fender 'pods' onto the doors. In '49, they finished that transformation. Even the guy who designed it admitted to the style thievery. He is the same guy who then went on to design the nearly identical HHR that Chevy still makes. My neighbor has owned both and hated both.

But wasn't that the point? To copy it and make it look old-timey?

And Pam, why do you have to drive his car? He's a cripple now! You can call the shots! Just say "look crips, I have to drive your crippled butt all over the place, so I get to say which car I drive!" :wink: :wink: :wink:
HELLO SUZPTCRUISE.. HA I HIT IN THE HEAD 2 TIMES GAVE IT TO MY DAD

LMBO!!! He says its easier to get in and out of his. I did tell him he HAS TO get in the Jeep. I'm not driving or going near that stupid car anymore.
I am sorry you hit your head but your post is cracking me.
I am not sure if I should feel sorry for you or Randy when YOU get injured on HIS car. :lol:

Seriously, I hope your head is okay.
I feel your pain. Carl had his last hip surgery in Oshkosh in 2008. We went down there in the Kia but when it was time to come home I had to take the Suburban.

Since we moved up here, I don't get out much by myself so I hadn't driven it really in several years.

I felt sorry for the people behind me, guess I didn't have the seat adjusted quite right and my foot wouldn't stay stable on the gas pedal. My speed ranged from about 40-70 most of the trip down there. Really was sweating coming home but readjusted and gritted my teeth, we made it and he didn't say anything.

Thankfully it got better after that cause I too was the chauffer for several wks.
