I knew nothing about my Prowler before I came to this site.

This site is made up of some of the finest people you ever want to communicate with or meet. Everyone is here to help each other.

I have no idea what my Prowler will be worth if I ever get rid of it (not likely). But if it's worth less I'll divide the loss by the pleasure I've had and feel like it was still worth every cent....Just do it...
