Since the new PT Cruiser has half the miles of the old one, and therefore we should be keeping it for a while, I decided to fix it up a bit to make it enjoyable for the baby. Finding a manual transmission car with the factory tinted windows is quite rare, so I did the next best thing. Junkyard. I found a yard that was a you pull it down in Lake Stevens. I rang Tyler and invited him along for company and a chance to get our hands dirty doing guy things. Of course it was pouring down rain, but I managed to pull all five pieces and got them for $100. Tyler ended up finding new window switches for his BMW, a shifter boot/ cup holder for his Mazda, and a tail light reflector for his Suburban. The cruiser I pulled the parts from had fog lights, but I had already bought new ones on ebay. I also got both of the extra accessory power outlets that the higher trim cruiser’s come with. Of course after we left we both though of more stuff we should have gotten, but I guess that will have to wait for next time. We did pull up next to a split rear window baja Beetle at a light in Marysville.
