Thought I would share my story.

Some might say that I've been living under a rock, because it was just 4 months ago I found out that Prowlers were a production auto. Well, I work in Los Angeles, 225 miles from my home in Fresno. In these past two months have seen a few running around L.A. and never one in Fresno, (maybe I wasn't paying attention).

Last Tuesday as I was leaving L.A. for my weekly trip back to Fresno, I passed a Classic car lot which had a gorgeous red Prowled, which was calling to me. Now I ask, how could I refuse stopping and have a look.

The salesman asked if I would like a test drive, I said yes even though I knew I couldn't afford it. I made a right turn out of the lot, made a right turn at the 1st street, stopped, called my wife, my insurance company and my bank, I then made a right turn in the ally and drove back to the shop. The salesman came out and asked if everything was ok, I said what was the price, he said 36K, I said it’s too much, he said 35K, (the Prowler has 3447 original miles) I wrote a check

AHH, but the story just starts. Now that I'm the proud new owner of a Cat, where the hell am I going to put it? I have a 1928 (stock) Chevy in my garage, Can't park that on the street, so I started making calls to everybody I knew that has a garage and no kids (lol). No luck. The salesman said he would store it at no charge for 30 days until I could work things out.

Well, to make a VERY long story short, I gave the 1928 Chevy to one of my sons to sell (he gets to keep half), however, he can't do anything for 1 more week. So here I am, a new owner who can't even go out in the garage and look at my new ride. I have to resort to looking at pic's of other peoples and reading every single post in the discussion forms. The upside is the dealer said that I could check the Kat in and out for those 30 days. When I get to L.A. this Monday, I bet you can guess where I'm going 1st.

And that is my story for being a new one week owner.

One of the many things you are missing,,,is sleeping out in the garage with your new cat for the first week : ,,,but that will come when you bring her home.

Please feel free to ask questions and add your input to any ongoing DISCUSSION FORUM topic. You are now part of a growing family of Prowler friends,,,,

ENJOY THE RIDE
