I started my journey by buying an orange flamed Honda Sabre metric cruiser. The wife and I had fun on it, but it was just a bit too dangerous for my liking. She didn't want me to, but I sold it. I then got a '69 Olds 442 convertible. I was lucky enough to have HORSEPOWER TV take it and do a performance build of it on their show. With the added value they put into it, I was able to sell it (and with some vacation hours sold back at work) finally get my dream car........the Purple Prowler.

I still haven't driven it yet because it's Thanksgiving weekend and the tag office isn't open for me to register it. I have spend all day detailing it and just sitting in it. I can't wait.

I think the only trouble Dennis had with it was when it would start cutting out at about 142 MPH. LOL!!! Just kidding!!

Enjoy the cool sound of those pipes.

I go out to sit and look at mine from all angles quite often (I'm sure that I'm not the only one that does this).

A lot will recommend Mobil 1. I also use this brand with a Napa Gold (Wix) oil filter. Which oil and filter is the best...sometimes it's just a matter of preference.

Please feel free to ask as many questions as you'd like. The bark of a few of the members is worse than their bite. The truth is...they are ALWAYS here to lend you a hand.

Good luck on your new Purple Prowler!!!

But in Texas you have 30 day's to register a car. If you get pulled over just show them the bill of sale. Should not be a problem. Most likely (if you did get pulled over)the cop would just ask questions about your cat and drool all over it.
