Before it came to a stop, it broke several stout trees in half, threw the occupants out of the car (their seatbelts broke, if you can believe it) and the engine/trans was tossed into a soybean field.

    • @marcusdamberger
      @marcusdamberger Рік тому +4

      I was just thinking about that episode the other day and how Mr. Regular schools us in various subjects like literature. Oddly enough I now own a PT Cruiser (I didn't when that episode came out), everything he says is so true. I inherited it from a boomer who passed away, who was the second owner, the car had just over 100k on the clock, way under what a 20 year old car should have of that era, 2001 base model with 5 speed. Got it extremely cheap from work collogue who offered it (it was a 4th car to him, from his passed away sister in law) after my 23 year old Honda Accord finally died at 266k.
      The gear box will never let it down. the engine has now had three water pumps over its life, I had to put in the 3rd one last year.. Took the opportunity to do the timing belt and all the engine mounts because it's so buried, you have to remove those and part of the A/C lines to get to it.. I've driven a HHR regularly in the past, the GM equivalent of the PT Cruiser. Another example of GM trying to catch up because another player in the industry came up with something new that people want, just like the Mustang vs Camaro of the 60's that Mr. Regular points out in this episode!
      The PT Cruiser handles way way better, it's more car like in it's handling, the HHR is wallowy and shuttery. Has way less power to the wheels, you have to really step into it to move.. The PT Cruiser probably gets an advantage because of the of the 5 speed, but i can't imagine it's a huge advantage. The PT Cruiser 2.4 engine puts out 150hp, while the HHR I drove was a 2.2 also putting out 150hp. So the GM automatic transmission must have been a factor. I suspect the GM 2.4 Ecotec with 170hp improves the HHR significantly. I've never driven a automatic PT Cruiser with the 2.4, I bet it's a lot more anemic. Though I would love to try the 2.4Turbo (180hp) or 2.4L Turbo High Output at 230hp.

It may not have been sophisticated, but it survived 200k miles of shoddy maintenance and forgotten oil changes. And right up until the transmission died at the 200k mile mark, the car always seemed legitimately excited that it was going to get to enjoy a trip to the grocery store or whatever!)

    For the record, though Camaros (somewhat rightfully) have a bad rep, a few years ago I had a brand new SS as a rental for a week. During an unseasonable ice storm. And I can say that this RWD 450HP car did excellent. Once the storm cleared up and I could put my foot down, I was further impressed. It's nothing less than a budget supercar, though the build quality could have been better in spots. The HUD was nice too. Got admiring looks from both sexes driving it. Not sure if I'm ready to buy one, but kudos to GM for making a car that has excellent suspension and throttle tuning, is comfortable, and felt totally stable driving through a world of shit for a few days.

      I drove my 93 Z28 in an ice storm to my grandparents for thanksgiving dinner. 35 miles each way. The car handled it just fine. The tires? Cooper Cobra GTs. Nothing special. I think I was one of the only people on the road. In 15 years the only time I’ve ever gotten stuck in it was when my driveway flooded a little and over night it froze over. My car was buried up to it’s hubs in ice. It wasn’t going anywhere.

The rake in the windshield was insane. 12-disc trunk CD changer with the sub woofer "Monsoon" sound system was amazing for a factory option. The SS with the ram-air hood was the ultimate one to own. Problem was that GM built Camaros to a price-point, and the components were not so great , but easily fixed. I installed an SLP cold air intake kit, C4 ZR1 rims and decent tires, and a Corsa cat-back system, and the car was totally transformed, it was a great car to own and drive.
