PToholics Anonymous was founded in 2001 in recognition of the increasing numbers of extreme enthusiasts being attracted to the PT Cruiser worldwide.
We called them "PToholics"....so named as it seemed many owners were "obsessed and addicted" with the car, modding, and the social life of emerging internet forums and live events.
During 2001, PToholics Anonymous decided to start recognizing the PT Cruiser enthusiasts who, by their personal involvement, impacted the PT Cruiser enthusiast community in a big way. These folks would be called the "Most Obsessed".
"Most Obsessed" PT Cruiser enthusiasts are those individuals who volunteer to create the fun that PToholics crave. These folks are the ones responsible for the "clubs" started, the "websites" we visit and network, the "events" that bring enthusiasts and their cars together, the "teambuilders and cheerleaders" who help expand the enthusiasm, the "do'ers", the "movers and shakers", the "Most Obsessed".
The "Most Obsessed" do what they do because they're in love with the car and the people who call themselves "enthusiasts". It's often a thankless role, a hassle, a headache, and out-of-pocket costly but the rewards of friendships created, challenges met, and success is a driving force for return engagements.
Our PT Cruiser community would not exist if it were not for the "Most Obsessed".
The PToholics Anonymous "Most Obsessed" recognition is a one-of-a-kind award that is offered by no one else and has been awarded to enthusiasts across the United States, Canada, the UK, and Australia.
The award is our way of saying "Thank You!"
