    Note: Due to a technical issue, PT Garages are presently view-only, meaning existing garages cannot be edited, and new garages cannot be created for the time being. We appreciate the irony that a website dedicated to old cars is having trouble due to a piece of software from 2012. In our defense, software rusts much faster than metal.

    While we work on fixing and improving the system, we invite you to look through the nearly 400 garages that are already on the site (which can be searched using the "Search PT Garages" link above), and to check out the Project Updates and Multimedia & Photography forums for more great builds.

      I built this car as a pro-daily. I don't want a car that I can't drive anywhere, in any traffic conditions.
      Blasting down the interstate @ 80 mph, done! @2800 rpm too;)!
      Want to attack the backroads with the corvettes and Bmw's, done! (Although I think I will have to upgrade my tires, Sumitumo's squeal too much!)
      Got stuck in traffic on a 100 degree day, no worries 180-190 degrees solid!
      It's a great car, but it is not show car. It has paint imperfections, and the engine compartment needs some work, but hey I drive it almost daily in the summertime. But not in the rain!
