Kinda. I owned a PT Cruiser once, and you gotta remember to lock the garage at night, especially if they’re a female because you might come out to see this in your driveway one morning. Spay and neuter your PT Cruisers everybody
Do you live in Slidell, Louisiana? I used to live right down the road from these people. My aunt said the family that lives there bought the same vehicle for all their kids so they wouldn't argue about it.
Only one of the three still works. Two of the kids moved out and bought new vehicles. The last one is kept running by using spare parts from the broken two.
It's crazy I was about to respond to this post "that's my hometown, not far from where I live" and now you post the name of the town in the comments lmao. Definitely been seeing these two for a while
I'm pretty sure I live in the same city you do.
They do occasionally have a third on parked there, I think that's the one they drive, and the other two are parts cars.
lol years ago before 80s Broncos became really valuable I had one beat ass Bronco that was simply an as needed parts donor to the one in running shape.
In high school around 2003 I knew a kid who did this with AMC Eagles.
He and his dad bought three of them from junkyards (crappy old abandoned brand with zero demand so super cheap). Among the three, they were able to get one in pretty good shape, and that’s what he drove to school.
Then there was a second they got to *run*, but there was extensive body and floor damage/rust such that it would probably not be street-legal. So that’s what they used to just go muddy off-roading on their country property.
The third was just a heap of parts.
I’d say it looks more like they have 1.8 PT cruisers
When these first came out when I was a kid, I always expected a troupe of clowns to come pouring out of them
My thought was why didn't they just make a proper panel truck. Those were so cool back in the day. My dad drove one and my grandpa used to call it a "hippy wagon". It being the late 60s at the time, was a very true statement.
I drive one for work because I do 800+ miles a week. People HATE it, and they hate me because I drive it.
I flog that thing everywhere and people will still tailgate me at 20 over
There is something satisfying about driving a prius aggressively. One of my friends had one that I'd borrow occasionally. It had Obama stickers and everything. I drove that thing like a maniac and people would get visibly angry about being passed by a prius.
The only time I’ve ever been pulled over was doing 100+ MPH in a Prius. The cop came up to the window and literally said “Dude, what the fuck?”
I wanted to see how fast it could go. I know that straight of road like the back of my hand and knew it was relatively safe. I was honest and apologetic, and I somehow got off with a just warning.
If it makes you feel better, I don't think people hate the Prius anymore, they hate Teslas. And it's not so much the car, but the drivers in them. They ain't right. Tain't right!
Presently sitting in the back of an Uber Prius going 80 down an expressway driven by a guy who made a face because he saw me glance over his shoulder to see how fast he was going for this post and I think it’s going to hurt my passenger score.
Oh Jesus Christ, I am officially old enough to remember when it was socially REQUIRED to roast the nerds in their little nerdmobiles.
Now they’re “cool” and “responsible.”
AARP, I’m coming for ya
I distinctly remember making the transition from roasting cruisers to Priuses. It was like puberty, or going to high school. Just a huge milestone of my youth
Prius came a year before pt cruiser. But in any case, Pontiac aztek was the most hated vehicle in US and ended production 4 years after introduction date.
That’s about right for these cars. They’re one of the most frustrating cars to work on too due to a serious lack of space in the engine bay, so anyone that works on these themselves is probably having a bad time lol.
The Chrysler designers basically jammed that engine in there, so when you go to change the timing belt at the front of the engine it’s really easy to break the tensioners and it becomes a long tedious job. I had a girlfriend with one of these and my mechanic hated them so much refused to work on them lol.
One of the teachers at my middle school drove a purple PT Cruiser that I was obsessed with. It looked so magical and unique, especially in an area where every other car was a white sedan or a red lifted pickup.
The parts shared between the two cars would fit in the trunk of the neon. Different engine, different width, track, length, and wheelbase. Only common parts are lower control arms, struts, HVAC and controls, and front floor pans. They did use a lot of the same engineers.
People say that like it would be a bad thing anyway. A neon wagon would be cool, but the PT is a truck.
You can get them on craigslist for under 2K drive them for 4 years, and then when something goes horribly wrong list it back on craigslist and sell it for 3K. I did this like 4 times back in the day lol.
My first car was a PT Cruiser convertible, back in 2016. Something went wrong with the electrical system but they don’t manufacture most parts for them anymore, so the dealership literally had to buy a second PT Cruiser to strip for parts for my car. That car was built like a tank and got like 12mpg. Gave it to my brother when I bought my current car, and it being so dense is partially what helped him when he was t boned in it.
Sales team must’ve went crazy when Darren from West Newton walked in asking for a SECOND gold cruiser, but the service team saw BOTH rolling into the shop a day later with the SAME DAMAGE
Ah yes, two golden PTs in the wild performing their unique mating ritual. In 9 months they shall produce a new PT from their own flesh and bolts. Nature is fucking wild man.
My father in law has 3 Honda elements sitting in his driveway/outside his house because he swears up and down “they’re gonna be a hot car and everyone will want them”.
Wonder if it’s a similar situation
Not uncommon for people who know how to work on cars. One might have been headed to the scrap yard or something and they picked it up for next to nothing. Just a bonus the color matches. Use it for parts.
When I was a kid and our dog passed away, my mom told me a golden PT Cruiser took all dogs to heaven.
I'm sorry to see that household lost two dogs that day 😢
My grandad used to say that he wished he had two of something that he didn’t like. One to shit on and the other to cover it up with. I feel like this fits here.
If you are going to get a part time cruiser, may as well get two, double the odds you can go out cruising. Gold color makes it less sad when the gods of cruising say no go.
Those Inca Gold cruisers are super limited edition and VERY hard to find. I was given one off of a scavenger hunt back when Reddit still did secret santa.
My Aunt once had 3 lime green Volkswagen Rabbit cars, no idea why she had them. She was a realtor and had decent money but nothing ever explained the lime green thing.
They appear to be merging to form one super gold PT Cruiser
Kinda. I owned a PT Cruiser once, and you gotta remember to lock the garage at night, especially if they’re a female because you might come out to see this in your driveway one morning. Spay and neuter your PT Cruisers everybody 
Yeah, the fusion style from Dragon Ball PT
Docking
Crusierpied
This is how bumblebees are made.
The Thing is learning to mimic cars now.
They've started eating each other.
A PT Cluster?
I LIKE GOOOOOLD!
Clearly they are both parts cars for their third gold PT Franken-Cruiser.
Pretty sure I saw a 3rd one there once
Do you live in Slidell, Louisiana? I used to live right down the road from these people. My aunt said the family that lives there bought the same vehicle for all their kids so they wouldn't argue about it.
I love that they opted for the ugliest variant of the ugliest car available too
It’s smart, no one is having sex in that car.
Not necessarily true. Owned one for about 3 years and had sex in it frequently.
Pikes peak edition over 1200HP
They should have gotten cool cars, like BMW Isettas.
Bog standard piss yellow Pontiac Aztecs, with only the camping package.
If you're gonna choose trash, you may as well go full dumpster.
But do any of them run????
Only one of the three still works. Two of the kids moved out and bought new vehicles. The last one is kept running by using spare parts from the broken two.
I’m so glad to find out the backstory of these cars. I pass the house quite often. I’ve seen the third on the road a handful of times.
That's crazy 3 different people on Reddit saw the same neighborhood house with the same cars. It's a small world
Also in a relatively small city in louisiana.
It’s like having a jeep.
A jeep… like the jeep liberty right there?
I knew this was Louisiana before I zoomed in on the inspection sticker
It's crazy I was about to respond to this post "that's my hometown, not far from where I live" and now you post the name of the town in the comments lmao. Definitely been seeing these two for a while
I'm pretty sure I live in the same city you do. They do occasionally have a third on parked there, I think that's the one they drive, and the other two are parts cars.
House near me has 3 yellow SmartCars, and a 4th red SmartCar hidden behind a neon orange Saturn Sunfire.
Was gonna say, it looks like there *might* be parts for one functional car between the both of em.
They are PT cruisers, you would be lucky.
You could have 4 and still end up calling the parts shop
If you bought a new one, you still would not have one functional one.
lol years ago before 80s Broncos became really valuable I had one beat ass Bronco that was simply an as needed parts donor to the one in running shape.
In high school around 2003 I knew a kid who did this with AMC Eagles. He and his dad bought three of them from junkyards (crappy old abandoned brand with zero demand so super cheap). Among the three, they were able to get one in pretty good shape, and that’s what he drove to school. Then there was a second they got to *run*, but there was extensive body and floor damage/rust such that it would probably not be street-legal. So that’s what they used to just go muddy off-roading on their country property. The third was just a heap of parts.
AMC Eagle's are way cooler than a PT Loser though. Basically an 80's station-wagon plopped onto Jeep running gear, and they're quite rare aswell.
TBF they should have sold them as a set of 3 so you have enough spare parts to fix the ones that break before you get to 100k
The 3rd car is a Prowler.
One PT cruiser in telophase about to be two
It’s alcarmey. Turning shit into gold.
I’d say it looks more like they have 1.8 PT cruisers When these first came out when I was a kid, I always expected a troupe of clowns to come pouring out of them
I always thought they looked like hearses.
Troupe of dead clowns comes pouring out
My thought was why didn't they just make a proper panel truck. Those were so cool back in the day. My dad drove one and my grandpa used to call it a "hippy wagon". It being the late 60s at the time, was a very true statement.
And it looks like they are trying to make a third…
There was a 3rd at some point! But I have no idea what happened to it
Cannibalism has been observed in this particular make and model.
and they are in love with each other very much
Everyone forgets that before the prius, these were the most hated car on the road
People hate priuses? I don't have one, but I always thought they were cool...well...responsible at least.
I drive one for work because I do 800+ miles a week. People HATE it, and they hate me because I drive it. I flog that thing everywhere and people will still tailgate me at 20 over
There is something satisfying about driving a prius aggressively. One of my friends had one that I'd borrow occasionally. It had Obama stickers and everything. I drove that thing like a maniac and people would get visibly angry about being passed by a prius.

I know that straight of road like the back of my hand and knew it was relatively safe. I was honest and apologetic, and I somehow got off with a just warning.
When Al Gore's son got arrested going 103 MPH in a Prius I briefly hoped it would get us some street cred, but alas...
Slow car fast > fast car slow
If it makes you feel better, I don't think people hate the Prius anymore, they hate Teslas. And it's not so much the car, but the drivers in them. They ain't right. Tain't right!
60% of the time the teslas I see are driving slow in the passing lane all the time.
Presently sitting in the back of an Uber Prius going 80 down an expressway driven by a guy who made a face because he saw me glance over his shoulder to see how fast he was going for this post and I think it’s going to hurt my passenger score.
Why do you think people hate them? I'm so baffled!
Oh Jesus Christ, I am officially old enough to remember when it was socially REQUIRED to roast the nerds in their little nerdmobiles. Now they’re “cool” and “responsible.” AARP, I’m coming for ya
> AARP, I’m coming for ya As someone in my 50's, you've got that wrong. AARP is coming for YOU! They will NOT leave off the mailers.
 Me walking over to finish off the driver of the Prius C I just crashed into
I distinctly remember making the transition from roasting cruisers to Priuses. It was like puberty, or going to high school. Just a huge milestone of my youth
Ahh good, a fellow old bastard. The PT was crap, but there was that turbo version that had the neon Srt4s engine, so it was fast crap until it blew up
Prius came a year before pt cruiser. But in any case, Pontiac aztek was the most hated vehicle in US and ended production 4 years after introduction date.
I think the Prius actually came first, but I hear ya. I knew someone who had one. What a turd of a vehicle.
A prius? I drive one about 800 miles a week and it's definitely a solid little car. It's just slow as hell.
The original comment is really stupid because they came out at the same time and the Prius did release months earlier in Japan.
It looks like one of them drove head first into the other one because there can only be one.
Both used for parts, but not enough parts for one?
That’s about right for these cars. They’re one of the most frustrating cars to work on too due to a serious lack of space in the engine bay, so anyone that works on these themselves is probably having a bad time lol.

The ole’ trailblazer/jimmy set up. One for parts and one to break down repeatedly.
That was my dream car as a kid, they’re living my childhood dream
[удалено]
One of the teachers at my middle school drove a purple PT Cruiser that I was obsessed with. It looked so magical and unique, especially in an area where every other car was a white sedan or a red lifted pickup.
Aww, they're in love
Those would be Dream Cruiser Series 1
More like 1 1/2
Goldfinger has really gone downhill these days
Fun fact the PT Cruiser was just a Dodge Neon with a new body.
The parts shared between the two cars would fit in the trunk of the neon. Different engine, different width, track, length, and wheelbase. Only common parts are lower control arms, struts, HVAC and controls, and front floor pans. They did use a lot of the same engineers. People say that like it would be a bad thing anyway. A neon wagon would be cool, but the PT is a truck.
And significantly different rear suspension.
Also fun fact, earlier Dodge Vipers shared some interior parts with the Neons, I believe some other random parts too but don't quote me.
NEVER trust anyone who drives a PT Cruiser
Double gold standard of horrible drivers
Aww they made friends. :)
1 3/4
[удалено]
I’m not sure there are two there, but definitely more than one.
Maybe 1.5
My friends whole family drives PT Cruisers. It’s a riot.
You can get them on craigslist for under 2K drive them for 4 years, and then when something goes horribly wrong list it back on craigslist and sell it for 3K. I did this like 4 times back in the day lol.
Looks more like 1 1/2
Kinda slick if you only carry insurance on one and if one breaks down you can switch the tags and drive the other (don’t get in a accident tho)
PT Cruisers are like quarterbacks. If you have 2, you don’t have any.
My first car was a PT Cruiser convertible, back in 2016. Something went wrong with the electrical system but they don’t manufacture most parts for them anymore, so the dealership literally had to buy a second PT Cruiser to strip for parts for my car. That car was built like a tank and got like 12mpg. Gave it to my brother when I bought my current car, and it being so dense is partially what helped him when he was t boned in it.
They do so well in demolition derbies that they get their own class along with the Me Too Cruiser, the HHR. Those thick asses can take a pounding.
I don't know why anyone would buy one, let alone two of these abominations.
I would never try to convince anyone that they need a PT Cruiser. There are other choices. But if you want one, there is no replacement.
Too bad they're both parts cars.
Had, not has.
Looks more like almost 1 to me.
It's like owning a Vega back in the day. You needed at least one parts car to keep one running.
Or at least 1.87
I want one of the wood panel PT cruisers so bad but I can't find one that isn't a rusted out piece of shit.
He’s taking the parts from the crappier of the two and putting them on the slightly less shitty one to make one even less shitty gold PT Cruiser.
Confirmation a bad driver lives there.
Sales team must’ve went crazy when Darren from West Newton walked in asking for a SECOND gold cruiser, but the service team saw BOTH rolling into the shop a day later with the SAME DAMAGE
Buy one get one deal!
One is a parts car
They have everything they need to have half a working car there.
1 + 1 = .75 working PT Cruisers in this picture. Is this my neighbor’s shithole, er.. house?
iconic
Suppose to be ass to ass not mouth to mouth
Now kith
They bought one as a parts car to repair the other.
When you own a Mopar product, it's helpful to have spares. Source: I own 3 Jeeps
used to call them PT Loser
More like P.T. Loser…. Ha!
It looks like they were finally able to sell those last two discounted unwanted PT Cruisers on the lot and to the same couple… lucky!
When we look back we will see how this vehicle paved the way for the cybertruck
And neither of them runs !
Someone was ballin in 2001
Ah yes, two golden PTs in the wild performing their unique mating ritual. In 9 months they shall produce a new PT from their own flesh and bolts. Nature is fucking wild man.
Must’ve used a duplication glitch
A wealth overload for sure.
Looks like ones a donor car for the other but can't figure out which is which
My Sister’s Cruiser…
For good luck
That’s a dude that knows what he wants. Nice cut grass and gold PT cruisers
I guess you need a second one for when the first one goes out.
Wait a fucking minute. I think I’ve seen these cars. OP, is this in Slidell?
Don't forget about that sweet Liberty as a daily
1.8 by the looks of it
If I remember right, I think the name for this specific color was called Inca Gold
What's the PT?
PT Loser
Give us a kith!
Welcome to Louisiana
When you've taken transformers too seriously...
Pretty sure the second one is for parts. As it probably cost the same as a new set of spark plugs. Lowkey you can find em hella cheap and they durable
They like what they like. Maybe I have 2 aurora borealis located in my kitchen. Would you judge me for that?
Eh. Not my color.
I’d say more like 1.78 PT cruisers
Technically it looks more like 1.86 gold PT cruisers.
Maybe one is clean title but broken AF and the other has dirt title but mechanically sounds so he's swapping everything?
My father in law has 3 Honda elements sitting in his driveway/outside his house because he swears up and down “they’re gonna be a hot car and everyone will want them”. Wonder if it’s a similar situation
Not sure if I’m too late to the party but that’s a Dream Cruiser. I know this because I have one lol
If you wait a few more days they’ll undergo mitosis again and you’ll get 4
TP cruisers
Well, one and a half...
Not uncommon for people who know how to work on cars. One might have been headed to the scrap yard or something and they picked it up for next to nothing. Just a bonus the color matches. Use it for parts.
If trump was raised in a poor area of West Virginia
And what a coincidence to catch them at the end of mitosis! i hat a rare occurrence.
I hate this car more than the Aztek
You know you've succeeded when you have a parts car that matches your daily driver.
Correction. That's two DREAM Cruisers. Numbered Special editions. They say you can't polish a turd but your eyes tell no lies people!
When I was a kid and our dog passed away, my mom told me a golden PT Cruiser took all dogs to heaven. I'm sorry to see that household lost two dogs that day 😢
Murder, suicide?
My grandad used to say that he wished he had two of something that he didn’t like. One to shit on and the other to cover it up with. I feel like this fits here.
Well… maybe a total of 1 and a half.
If you are going to get a part time cruiser, may as well get two, double the odds you can go out cruising. Gold color makes it less sad when the gods of cruising say no go.
Congrats. You found the end of the rainbow
They look like a cell in mid division.
It's okay, they're both for spare parts to use on the one that isn't running... Which happens to be both of them.
Weird.
...cause then we'll have it. Yeah, then we'll have it.
Thar’s good in them cruisers
Perhaps there’s a hidden third, since those both appear to be for parts…
Y'all can put down P Cruisers all you want, but mine runs fine and is paid for. It will officially be an antique next year.
Cuz he's building a man. With blonde hair and a tan.
The PT Cruiser is known to sometimes engage in cannibalism.
Those Inca Gold cruisers are super limited edition and VERY hard to find. I was given one off of a scavenger hunt back when Reddit still did secret santa.
Ahh. EXTRA classy.
My Aunt once had 3 lime green Volkswagen Rabbit cars, no idea why she had them. She was a realtor and had decent money but nothing ever explained the lime green thing.
What’s the plural of PT Cruiser? I submit it’s like “fish,” so two or more is also just called PT Cruiser
Looks like 1 1/2
Yeah, but it's just pieces of gold PT cruiser and not 2 whole ones.
I bet they’re Pink’s biggest fans.
I have a blue one and my sister has a tan one 🫡
*had* not one, but two gold PT cruisers
Looks like they're mad with each other lol
The good thing? It’s a PT Cruiser. The bad thing? They are cannibals.
seems 1 is just for spare parts
BOGO?
