Well - I've been hedging on buying Prowler or Viper for this winter, and I made my decision today.

Absolutely 100% Prowler - and it's all because of the people on this board, and the people that I've dealt with that own Vipers.

I own a business out of my house for part time work (car stuff, but won't shamelessly plug it here) - anyway, a guy calls that owns a Viper, leaves a message of what he wants.

So far, so good - but true to form, as a lot of people have "warned" me - this Viper owner was a DICK! I called him back, and the good Dr. said, "I'm with patients now." - and that was it, he hung up on me - not even nice about it. No, "I'm with patients, but I'll call you right back." - NOTHING! Pure 110% jerk!

If I recall, he's the one that called ME first!!!

un-freakin beleivable

That is one thing I know I would NEVER get from any of the Prowler owners - EVER! So much more down to earth and laid back. Sure, the Prowler might cost less, so you're not a "rich person" status, but you know what - fugg it, if everyone I get to hang with on cruises is cool, and never hang up on me - that says more than words ever could.

Thanks for making my decision so darn easy!!!

oh - and to top it all off, I'm not one to sit back and be treated like third class sh*t, so I promptly joined up with the Viper Club of America board and if I don't get a call back from him tomorrow, I will sure as hell post about what a jerk he was - and make SURE it's the #1 post all day long! LOL

If you need help finding the cat of your dreams, please feel free to contact me. I have a list of all the new Prowlers available across the country and I can put you in contact with dealers in your area. You might even be able to use a Friends and Family certificate to purchase your cat!

You'll enjoy the Prowler, in Rochester they are so very rare! You could always try to win the Prowler that Channet 8 NEWS is giving away this summer?

Congrats on your future purchase, let it be a Black one, but get a 2000(rides better).

The Canadian Prowler guys have great events in Ontario, you should hook up with them when you get your cat. I only know one Prowler owner in Western NY and he moved to FL... wonder why?

I've actually got quite a few customers on the way to Toronto (in Niag Falls and Hamilton) that I could swing by and visit too - nice write off there ;-)

A number of Prowler owners here have 1 or multiple Vipers and a bevey more have ordered one or are considering one.

Prowler Purple
or
Prowler/Jeep Metallic Orange

Any year after the new engine was put in is cool with me. Preferably not mod'd at all so I can do it myself.

If you've got any lines on one for sale in the Oct/Nov/Dec time frame let me know!!!

thanks all!

you may have a deal, if you can hold on to it for a while - shoot me an e-mail at rjcalnan@xenonmods.com so I can get more specifics.

You can actually fit a bunch of luggage in the Prowler, you just have to pack FLAT. When my g/f and I take trips I rarely bring the trailer because the car isn't has much fun to drive with the trailer on.(Although, you do get a lot more looks.) We pack several grocery bags lay them flat in the trunk and put somethings behind/under the seats. Surprisingly it holds a lot.

Ben from Roc, NY sold his silver cat and got a 2000 red with a paxton supercharger

You aren't buying the people, your buying the Viper. LOL!

I have to disagree. I am buying this car for the soul purpose of showing off, and hooking up with other Prowler folks and doing the weekend cruises, either locally or nationally - so unlike a lot of people, I am buying for the people as well.

It's a Jeep thing...you wouldn't understand! ;-)

It really is though - the Jeep folks inspire such a "community" feel in the vehicles, that you don't just own the Jeep, you are part of a family.
