Well, it was an inexpensive car at the time. I believe the base model was priced around $11K in 1999 dollars. But it did what it was supposed to do – my mother and I used a rental Neon in CA when we had reason to be there in 2000, and once I got used to driving a small car I was able to handle the CA freeway speeds (posted speed limit + 20 mph, more or less) just fine. Later on, the PT Cruiser was basically a 6-cylinder Neon with a funky body on it.
Missed that completely. According to Google, though, there are such things as par 6 holes, which would be about 700 yards (for men) from tee to green. But since other things such as whether the hole plays uphill or downhill, how many bunkers or penalty areas there are, or how tight or wide open the hole is are also taken into consideration when determining par, we could have a 250-yard hole that plays uphill onto a postage-stamp green surrounded by trees, water, and sand traps rated as a par 6 – but an absolutely perfect (and lucky!) shot could result in a hole-in-one.

Hole in one on a par 6? Not likely.

Personally, though, I think it's a typo.
