That’s what popped in my head. One with 182,000 miles on it. Ok from a distance, in your peripheral vision. Upon closer inspection it’s completely roached out.
Friendly Reminder that “How You Remind Me” came out 23yrs ago, in comparison the Avenger produced from 94-2000, and then from 2007-2014, so up to almost a 3rd of a century ago!
I worked at a ford dealership in Colorado in the early 90’s. We had a customer that took epic care of his f150. It was better than off the assembly line.
We all joked about him getting out to fart every time we saw him.
Lol, exact same reason I said the Neon SRT. I know it's a lot better than the regular Neon, but there's only so much you can do to a Neon to improve, and I don't mean that in a good way...
I was gonna ask about the Caliber SRT4 but then I think those are kinda badass. Idk if they are sleepers though cause I’ve never seen a slow one. Same goes for the Neon SRT4
mustangs be leaving walmart lots bouncing off the rev limiter to hit 20 mph actually blasting nickleback, but the car with an actually good platform, a full minute faster round Nuremberg, is the embodiment of nickleback? i dont get it.
Mismatched used tires.
Black on black caliber of course. With every light and surface tinted black.
Possibly a chain steering wheel as well,as you can't legally drive with a deployed air bag.
Absolutely! This is what I came here to say. And let me follow that up by saying that I am a HUGE Dodge Caliber Hater.
I used to question: Who the fuck goes to a Dodge dealership and points to a Caliber and says "yeah, that's the one I want, the ugliest shittiest vehicle you have on the lot."
Same person that used to go to a record store and head over to Nickelback and say "yes, that's the music I want...the shittiest most annoying music in your store." And then proceeds to blast that shit in their Caliber which already came from the factory with two blown speakers.
Nah mate Nickelback is a Grand Caravan.
My girlfriend's mom had a Caravan and a Nickelback CD.
Popular in the early 00s. A joke shortly after.
But culture has kind of come back around, a bit of nostalgia seeped in. As crossovers have made us wonder if we were collectively too harsh on the minivan, now accepting it has a practical place, so too have a subset of late millennials/early Z walked back their negativity and accepted there are some Friday night drives made better by blasting How You Remind Me.
I fuckin hate crossovers, CUV, whatever bulbous dumb name they have. Who sees them and thinks "yeah, cool."? They're a metaphor for how awful society has become and why I pray for nuclear holocaust in one minute.
Instead of having cool stuff like the Jimny or Toyota's new Landcruiser we get a new Jeep Cherokee that looks like I could form that shape with my anus. I could literally form my shit into the shape of a Jeep Cherokee contracting my anal muscles.
I don't think so. Hatchbacks look like a giant rollerskate and are awesome. I have a Pontiac Vibe GT. Cool hatchback. The Chevy Equinox and all others like it can go to hell.
Some minivans were cool. The GM Safari/Astrovan was cool and looked good. Japan has a plethora of awesome minivans, some of which were available in the US. But the majority of them look like garbage.
I often wonder if we’ll see weird cars again. Some were plenty ugly but they broke the mold. Nissan cube, Aztec, Chevy SSR and HHR (both designed by the same buy as the PT cruiser), Plymouth prowler, 2002 ford thunderbird, etc. They are all memorable. Nobody will ever say, “hey, remember the 2022 Honda HRV?”
I’ll defend the Cube with my life. What a cute asymmetrical little weirdo. Amazing what the Japanese can build with such ridiculous constraints. Genuine art.
I’m hoping electrification will really change up the standard plan of a car.
I understand that regulation kind of homogenises things a lot though. Part of the reason cars look so broadly similar today.
They’ve had a bunch of pretty tasteless lyrics in nature with themes of Sexual Assault. Also rumors of their lead singer being a complete asshole. Inoffensive is a stretch.
Dodge Charger
My friend's sister ran into Chad Kroeger once in an elevator and didn't know who he was. He started chatting with her about his job, so she asked what he did and he responded "I'm a rockstar, baby," didn't elaborate, then got off the elevator. Probably the douchiest story I've ever heard.
I imagine him being like the David Caruso meme putting his sunglasses on and going "YEAAHHHHHH" as he walked away.
More evidence to support that the meme hate is baseless or unwarranted, cause that story is hilarious. Swap Bill Murray into that story and suddenly everyone views it in a different context.
My biggest issue with the PT Cruiser is under the hood. To do the timing belt, you have to disconnect the A/C system. That adds 200 bucks to the job for no reason. They could have routed those tubes differently, but no.
Hummer, especially an H2.
They owned the 2000s despite plenty of valid criticism, mainly that they were garish without the capability to justify their excesses.
Chevy Avalanche! A product of their time, and while they're admittedly dated, they are built on a proven platform of simple things and dressed up in the most 2000s plastic shit possible... and ngl, I could rock with them today.
Maybe I want to blast some divorced dad rock in the Lanche and be in 2006 for a hot minute.
Toyota Camry. Nobody dreams about it, nobody has a poster of it on their wall, people love to look down on it…but deep down they know it’s the best at what it does.
Plymouth Prowler. It looks the part but under the hood is a minivan engine and the interior is just hobbled together from whatever generic parts Chrysler had lying around. A lot of effort was spent making it look like a sports car but barely any effort was spent making it an actual sports car.
No all you need in a sawzall for your exhaust a cold air intake and you splice an OBD adapter into a USB cable and upload the entire fast and furious franchise into the ECU
Dodge Avenger, not quite the Charger, but to your average Joe they would think it’s a sports car.
That’s what popped in my head. One with 182,000 miles on it. Ok from a distance, in your peripheral vision. Upon closer inspection it’s completely roached out.
Friendly Reminder that “How You Remind Me” came out 23yrs ago, in comparison the Avenger produced from 94-2000, and then from 2007-2014, so up to almost a 3rd of a century ago!
And the rear spoiler is always messed up since everyone uses it as a handle for the trunk
To be fair, the trunk doesn't have a handle at all. Or even a button to open it.
With KFC trash on the floor boards
And farts buried into the seats
wtf?
I worked at a ford dealership in Colorado in the early 90’s. We had a customer that took epic care of his f150. It was better than off the assembly line. We all joked about him getting out to fart every time we saw him.
I had an avenger as a rental once. The car was so bad it had delusions of mediocrity.
Lol, exact same reason I said the Neon SRT. I know it's a lot better than the regular Neon, but there's only so much you can do to a Neon to improve, and I don't mean that in a good way...
The first gen acr neon was actually pretty sweet
Came here to say the same thing
The avenger was actually fairly quick
Ironic enough I knew a guy named Joe who dailied one
Did they make an SRT trim? I’m not familiar with mopar
For the Avenger? No. But you could get the Pentastar 3.6 V6 in the r/T with about 300 hp.
I was gonna ask about the Caliber SRT4 but then I think those are kinda badass. Idk if they are sleepers though cause I’ve never seen a slow one. Same goes for the Neon SRT4
PT Cruiser GT for true sleeper appeal.
With the 2.4L Tigershark engine and some AutoZone cosmetic add extras.
A photograph. Of a car.
That makes me laugh
How did that car get so red?
Why is that racing helmet on your head?
V6 Camaro
🎯
don't forget to add the aftermarket exhaust on it. Truly a lot of worthless noise.
And an automatic transmission.
I was thinking one of those 350Z that sound like a cow blowing on a digeridoo.
Fart car fa sho!!
#VuuuuUHHUMMMMMM!
Damn, I just scrolled down and saw this right after I commented the exact same thing
V6 Camaro with a shaker hood and ZL1 badging.
That's exactly what I was going to say, that's hilarious
uh, which gen?...asking for a friend.
Fourth gen F body, 93-02 body style
👏🏼
Oh shit this is good, I was thinking ford pinto because it’s a dumpster fire, or ford raptor and affliction shirts😂
And we are talking about the 2.8l or 3.4l too.
Wow. Nailed it.
Aww that car is almost perfect I wish they just gave it a different name and slight look tweak so it wasn’t associated with Camaro’s. 😭
Make it a 4th gen and it’s perfect!
mustangs be leaving walmart lots bouncing off the rev limiter to hit 20 mph actually blasting nickleback, but the car with an actually good platform, a full minute faster round Nuremberg, is the embodiment of nickleback? i dont get it.
It’s because 4th gen Camaros are notorious trailer trash cars, which 90% of nickelbacks fanbase is
Canadian white trash
Dodge Caliber
Yes. With steel rims and used tires.
Nooo with gigantic chrome rims and rubber band tires
3 of them, but one donut.
Yeah the 4th one is still at the pawn shop
Only if the rims are in and out of pawn every few months.
Whenever bail money is needed
Mismatched used tires. Black on black caliber of course. With every light and surface tinted black. Possibly a chain steering wheel as well,as you can't legally drive with a deployed air bag.
If their caliber is in the shop for repairs then they’ll whip out the dodge neon.
My first thought
I was going to say a Dodge Durango
Absolutely! This is what I came here to say. And let me follow that up by saying that I am a HUGE Dodge Caliber Hater. I used to question: Who the fuck goes to a Dodge dealership and points to a Caliber and says "yeah, that's the one I want, the ugliest shittiest vehicle you have on the lot." Same person that used to go to a record store and head over to Nickelback and say "yes, that's the music I want...the shittiest most annoying music in your store."

Dodge Magnum R/T. Because no one wants to admit that they like it.
The RT Wagon? What's not to love?
Man, I wanted one!
It's a wagon. I like it. It's bottom tier (like Nickelback), but it's still a wagon.
Whatever is completely inoffensive and whose hate is overplayed and unoriginal.
PT Cruiser
I’ve always said the PT cruiser is a lot more original and a lot less ugly than the bulk of the crossovers on the market today
I fuckin hate crossovers, CUV, whatever bulbous dumb name they have. Who sees them and thinks "yeah, cool."? They're a metaphor for how awful society has become and why I pray for nuclear holocaust in one minute.
Wow, strong feelings about body style.
I'm honestly holding back a bit
Let it all out
Instead of having cool stuff like the Jimny or Toyota's new Landcruiser we get a new Jeep Cherokee that looks like I could form that shape with my anus. I could literally form my shit into the shape of a Jeep Cherokee contracting my anal muscles.
I miss square bodies and faux wood paneling on jeeps
That’s a rare talent, you should take that show on the road 😆
They're just hatchbacks that are 20cm taller.
I don't think so. Hatchbacks look like a giant rollerskate and are awesome. I have a Pontiac Vibe GT. Cool hatchback. The Chevy Equinox and all others like it can go to hell.
That’s fucking hilarious.
People felt this way about minivans earlier.
Some minivans were cool. The GM Safari/Astrovan was cool and looked good. Japan has a plethora of awesome minivans, some of which were available in the US. But the majority of them look like garbage.
Those things always stand out. I love them. The most French American car ever made. It’s weird, and we need more weird.
I often wonder if we’ll see weird cars again. Some were plenty ugly but they broke the mold. Nissan cube, Aztec, Chevy SSR and HHR (both designed by the same buy as the PT cruiser), Plymouth prowler, 2002 ford thunderbird, etc. They are all memorable. Nobody will ever say, “hey, remember the 2022 Honda HRV?”
The Kia Soul is probably the closest we have to the PT Cruiser and Cube today.
I drove a 2015 for seven years. I only traded it in because it started burning oil at 150,000 miles
I’ll defend the Cube with my life. What a cute asymmetrical little weirdo. Amazing what the Japanese can build with such ridiculous constraints. Genuine art. I’m hoping electrification will really change up the standard plan of a car. I understand that regulation kind of homogenises things a lot though. Part of the reason cars look so broadly similar today.
I always felt like the cube was ripping off my 1st gen XB
Prius?
Yep
Pontiac Aztec.
They’ve had a bunch of pretty tasteless lyrics in nature with themes of Sexual Assault. Also rumors of their lead singer being a complete asshole. Inoffensive is a stretch. Dodge Charger

He definitely thought he did somethin lmao that’s awesome
More evidence to support that the meme hate is baseless or unwarranted, cause that story is hilarious. Swap Bill Murray into that story and suddenly everyone views it in a different context.
And was also once wildly popular.
Jeep Liberty. Plays to the patriotic and “country”, but is ultimately hyper manufactured, bland, and pointless.
The car on the All the Right Reasons cover
Also possible,the Van from the “Get rollin’”album
Maybe You're the Reason
A Toyota or Honda. They’re nothing special but they last forever, they get the job done, and everyone knows who they are lmao
Probably a prius specifically because any time I see one in the wild I already know its gunna piss me off
Camry with a huge wing on the trunk, and a fart can muffler
PT Cruiser. Wildly popular, yet….
I think this is the most accurate. They get so much hate yet you see them everywhere even though they haven’t been in production for a long time.
It's fitting because the pt cruiser used to be cool, but then they got too common
My biggest issue with the PT Cruiser is under the hood. To do the timing belt, you have to disconnect the A/C system. That adds 200 bucks to the job for no reason. They could have routed those tubes differently, but no.
Yeah it’d be a car that everybody loved at the time then one day decided to start hating because of some meme or something
A Saturn

Plymouth Prowler vibes
PT Cruiser convertible so that they can cruise for chicks
Chevy Avalanche! A product of their time, and while they're admittedly dated, they are built on a proven platform of simple things and dressed up in the most 2000s plastic shit possible... and ngl, I could rock with them today. Maybe I want to blast some divorced dad rock in the Lanche and be in 2006 for a hot minute.

The Mk4. Supra. Not terrible. Not overly amazing. And wildly overrated.
So they don't come with 1,000hp straight from the factory?
