    Salutations from AZ! Its hot and a little humid down here. Anyways, I recently purchased a 2006 PT Cruiser GT. It has 30K miles and has the 5 speed manual. Great little car, super peppy, and better on gas than my G20 van! As far as I know it is completely stock. I went ahead and did the airbox mod, NGK 4306 plugs gapped to .030, and went with a mobil 1 oil change. The only issue thus far is a slight grind going into 3rd. Other than that I'm happy!

    Thanks man. I like the car a lot so far, never before have i owned a chrysler, and the turbo is the icing on the cake! My only gripe is the 3rd gear issue but as I long as I double clutch we're gravy. The car itself is smooth, quiet, and has a decent ride. I mostly do city driving so my left foot gets a decent work out now! The best part about this is that I'm getting to adjust to driving a manual as oppose to the numerous automatics I've driven. It's a nice change of pace.

    Yeah dude, the winter weather here is excellent! Here's to waiting for another haboob!
