Just got done beatin\' off.....

all the high school kids from touching my freshly waxed car. I was at the grocery store today and as I am walking out, the little SOB's are standing there googling over my car. Now don't get me wrong I love to show off my car as much as the next guy, but why is there always one of them that always seems like he has no respect. He's got his hand on the hood while leaning on my car like he was James Dean, explaining how his dad's prowler would "smoke" my car. He doesn't see me walk up behind him, but all his friends listining to his blather see me and immediately stand at attention. One of the kids asks this and that about the car and asks if he could see under the hood, so I pop the hood and sparkling like a diamond is the just detailed, polished & chromed Roe S/C and I get the typical Ooohs and Aaahs. After I was done, I shut the hood and told the smart ass to have his Dad call me and that I needed a prowler to fill the third spot in my garage. By this time he was quite as a kitten and all his friends are laughing and I quite honestly felt bad at that point, but hey nobody F'n touches the snake! And of course they got the complimentary ear-ringing rev.

My windows are tinted pretty dark, so I always get hand prints on both side windows from people trying to see in... Their lack of respect is frustrating, but at least it's not the paint.

Ive got a friend that thought his prowler would take my car, but I took him for a ride and he changed his mind real quick. I dont what it is about the prowler, but there are a few of them around here and they all think their the baddest thing on the road.

Prowler is a great looking fun car that is inexpensive by todays standards,

fast it is not.

You can SC them and wake it up a bit

Re: Just got done beatin\' off.....

Is it bad karma to say "WHO KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT THAT LINGENFELTER V8 PROWLER!!" Everytime I ask questions it gets scarce around here or anywhere that I post up that question. What gives? I'd be all OVER the web if that were my car. Sure its no viper but it moves faster than any other car when the engine is turned off! :p

MATT, DOES THIS MEAN THAT WE MAY HAVE SOLVED OUR LITTLE "PROBLEM", AS YOU SEEM TO HAVE MADE IT ALL THE WAY THE THE GROCERY STORE AND BACK AGAIN? PLEASE LET ME KNOW, MIKE AND I ARE CHOMPING AT THE BIT.
PROWLERS ARE JUST BAD CARS, ANY CAR WITH THE THE TRANS IN THE REAR AND MOTOR IN FRONT IS JUST WRONG. OH WAIT THATS WHAT THE VETTES HAVE, OOPS! :crazy: IF YOU WATCH AMERICAN CHOPPER, PAULY HAS ONE IN SILVER AND IT IS ACTUALLY HUMOROUS WATCHING HIM GET IN AND OUT.

Oh yeah Tom, I think you may have fixed it. I have an interesting post that I'll write up later about a run-in I had last night. Needless to say after puttering around for 2-days, I finally let her rip. I will say that it held up quite well, It withstood about a half dozen hole-shot's in 3rd at 3000-5500 RPM.

Matt, glad everything is going right. I was doing some hole shots myself last night coming from great lakes dragway. Let's just say somewhere out there, there are three cobras and one corvette looking for more power.
