My ex and I were joking about that. I asked her what kind of car would instantly cause her to nope out if someone came to pick her up... "PT Cruiser." No hesitation.
I think a Hummer would give me the ick faster; I feel like a PT Cruiser is ugly and poor taste, but I would at least find out if like they inherited the car or someone gifted them the car before nopeing out, whereas a Hummer wouldn't probably get that level of benefit of the doubt, I would be looking for the quickest opportunity to nope.
I think I would also feel that way about Corvettes and certain other luxury cars. BMW is also a red flag. Lexus is borderline.
But yeah, I'm also not a typical person who actually went on dates or participated in much courting. At some point it was my goal to never have a romantic partner, and I see it as a fluke (even a failure) that someone found me anyway.
Why its just a car? The only red flag with a car I could think of is like a super expensive or impractical choice. Why would you judge a pt cruiser? Very reasonable car.
Whats impractical? Like a giant pickup or '60 mg mga or similar era italian sports car you need to carry special order parts in the trunk in case it breaks down? 20 year old sports bike?
Like it? Did it myself, keeps the bike on the ground, since it goes so fast now I straight-piped the cat, removed the mirrors, and the license plate holder.

I am inclined to agree.

Sometimes a joke is just a joke. But I get your meaning.

They're not the only person who thinks a PT Cruiser is poor taste ...

I'll judge over the extended swingarm

I believe they said they were judging you for it.
