Slashdot PT Cruiser Spotted In the Wild
You may remember the Slashdot PT Cruiser if you've been around long enough. You might even wonder what fate befell it. You can sleep comfortably tonight for it has been spotted alive and seemingly well in Walnut Creek.
More importantly: Whatever happened to Slashcode, which is what [cue the In Soviet Russia jokes] drives Slashdot?The last version seems to date from nearly a decade ago now.

Like any good geek car, it was parked near a brewpub:

PT Cruiser... that's one step up from the Pontiac Aztek at least.
Years back when I blew a heater hose on California 17, heading home from Santa Clara, I chatted with the tow truck driver. "Which cars do you tow the most?" "Oh, PT cruisers, I get a couple every day, they break down a lot." I'm sure they have the issues sorted by now, but tow truck drivers area great people to ask about what not to buy at the present.
A feeling of having made the same mistake before: Deja Foobar
You have the ADAC, the national automobile club. They have yellow cars and trucks running up and down the roads constantly, and in a breakdown you call them and get helped fairly fast. They publish a yearly list of the cars they have to rescue the most. It's more helpful than any other metric of reliability. It's like getting that tow truck driver advice from most of the tow truck drivers in the country at one time.
So, is it used to cart CD-ROMs around?
Great minds think alike; fools seldom differ.
No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
Dear Slashdot: next time you want to mess with the site, add a rich-text editor for comments.
