Thus far this week has been perfect weather here in santa barbara, and last weekend was even better for camping in joshua tree

Slightly off topic...I'm a new Prowler owner and was wondering about folks opinions on Prowlers in the rain. I popped the hood and noticed the interesting battery position right behind the front grille (if my limited auto knowledge serves me correct). Has this been a problem for anyone in heavy rains? How about with custom grilles?

Ed, welcome to the POA. You found the best internet site that exists.
No one has reported a battery problem due to location, to the best of my recollection. There is water inside the battery so it has to be sealed fairly tight.
Ther have been a few reports of corroded positive battery cables. Normally not too big of a deal but on a Prowler it is connected to the main wiring harness and it costs $ 600-900, I don't remember the exact price. I haven't had that problem. There were probably less than 5 reported and that was a few years ago. If you would feel better, disconnect your battery cable and check it for corrosion. Leave it off for about 10 minutes and that will reset your car's computer to the factory specifications for shift points, etc. When you reconnect it, drive it aggressively if you normally drive that way. It remembers your driving habits.
Keep the car stock, mine is (except for the mods)

Ed the ape - WELCOME TO THE POA WEBSITE I don't think you will have any concern with the battery location and rain. Be sure to email Larry Lord, the So-Cal events director, and get on the email list of his for California Prowler events. You will meet many great Ca. owners and have a great time. Feel free to ask questions and add your input to any DISCUSSION FORUM topic.

ENJOY THE RIDE

Ed,

Welcome to the POA! Unfortunately, I've been caught in some heavy downpours (always seems to be at Prowler events!! LOL!), but haven't had any problems.

It was right around 14 yesterday and took the kat for a ride on what remained of an ice storm we had over the week-end. Went to the shopping center and had a blast in the parking lot just driving and spinning the kat to get the feel of it on ice. A great experience and no cars in the lot to worry about.

Thanks for the good news about the rain, and thanks for the warm reception My girl got a little taste of the rain yesterday here in SBand seemed to be just fine. And no leaks in the roof either! She got a clean bill of health from the mechanic too after her first oil change...ever. Sad to think the previous owner didn't realize these cars are so sweet and are meant to be driven, but it makes it all the better for me

Even though last weekend hit the low 30s in the desert at night, no major snow there:

(yup, you can actually fit a whole boatload of camping gear in that trunk...though she looked a bit out of place encircled by 20 foot long RVs!)
