I'll second that. In your case they could blame the Stage 1's increased boost levels for causing the grommit to pop out when you let off the throttle and the higher Stage 1 backpressure builds up before the BOV opens. From what you mentioned in the other thread, this is the actual cause for this having happened. When you were running against the Ford it probably happened while you shifted gears, the build up of boost backpressure popped it out before the BOV opened to keep that from happening.[sm=sorry.gif] Hopefully they never read DF so that they remain clueless to this fact.[sm=ts.gif][sm=exactly.gif][sm=innoc.gif][sm=icon_sneaky.gif] But since it is only a little cheap rubber ring that only takes about 30 seconds to a full minute to install, they're not going to bother arguing the point.

They could have at least given you the PT Turbo instead of the regular PT.[:@]

It's really not even the Dodge dealer's rental. They called up an agent from Advantage Rental Cars and he came out in about 20 minutes with the PT Cruiser. Nobody asked what kind of car I wanted, but then again, I'm not paying for it either!!!

All I would say is that it has to be a Mopar, anything but a van.

True. This is about as "family" as I will go. I have to admit, it is kinda cool to drive, but there's alot of them out on the road.

And I would still rather have a Mopar van then any other brand, but both are unacceptable when going from an SRT-4.

I'm getting enough smirks from the folks at work with the cruiser, I hate to think what they would do if they saw me in a minivan!!!!

I don't mind the looks of the PT, but it's performance is awful.[:'(]

It's looks are what saves it in addition to having a ton of interior room. But I've driven golf carts that have more power!

Funny thing i had a convertible pt with the turbo 2.4, which to me looks way better than the 4-door version. when my srt-4 was down an out...really liked the car kind of grows on you after awhile...trying to find something to get rid of to get one.....

The turbo version I could probalby handle, the regular engine with the ATX sucks. Otherwise, it's a cool car, the only downside is the engine. Plus, it's easier to get in/out of than my SRT-4!
