I must have been confused. I actually thought that this was a car site/club. This site is as divided as our country. I just don't have the energy anymore to sort through this on a daily basis and the next year will be unbearable.

I wish you all well and personally thank each and everyone that participated in the various group purchases. Without you it wouldn't have been possible.

Can't say if I'll return, but I need a big break. If someone needs assistance with their car, please feel free to email me at boblongstreth@comcast.com or give me a call at 248-425-7920. I'll do my best to help. I don't plan to pickup private messages so use this contact information.

However with that said I am not sure that if the political forum was dropped completely, that the other forums posting would then significantly increase. The car has been out of production now for 9 years. New and/or innovated after market mods have basically ceased. Prowler events are fewer. With the exception of an occasional problem.(many of which are experienced by new owners and have been covered before# and some people getting custom paint jobs. The new Prowler topics for discussion are becoming pretty limited. I do agree the personal attacks need to stop. We should be able to discuss any topic without getting personal about it. Realistically that is probably not in our human nature. There have been many flare ups over purely Prowler discussions. But I agree that politics has caused a significant increase.

Here is what I propose. Let's put a moratorium on political posts. It would have to last for at least a month to be a good indicator. Let's see how that effects the overall mood on the POA and also on the volume of other topics.

I agree. It's a source of negativety that finds it's way into other forums. What do politics have to do with prowlers? Get rid of it is my vote,

I check in daily, sometimes more than once, don't post much anymore.

Hate to see Bob deciding not to post. He is one of our BEST resources here or anywhere for the Prowler. His involvement from the beginning of the project to almost 10 years past the last production vehicle being built and then the help and assistance he has given is PRICELESS

Stay in touch and come back when you feel up to it.

Thanks Bob for everything

Please "KILL" the Political Off Topic thread.

Two other things:

1) When someone post something to sell, leave his posting alone. They are exercising their right to post an item for sell. So many people want to pipe in " hey, look over here, it's cheaper.

2) When another vendor comes on here and offers a new product "LET THEM"

Case in point, the guy with the brake covers. That guy and his company were so pissed off by the comments from here, they just shut the thread down. Not to mention, he was offering a really really nice product.

As the car gets older it is even more relevant that we have access to options to fix it. These cars will continue to be bought and sold and new owners will need information and bring new ideas to the site.

It's been stated that we just not look so by not stopping here I don't have to. My contributions have stopped also.
