| DES | It's been colder than Santa's balls here in So-Cal so I have not driven my prowler in over 2 weeks.
Going to have to start it this weekend just to show some luv to it.

| VinceM | Compared to the rest of the country, the weather in SoCal is ideal for cruising all year round. Put the top up or turn the heater on with when it's down. Also, if you want to experience what 350+ SoCal people will be doing on Jan 1, show up for
New Years Morning Cruise
Tour d’ Orange

| padroo | We should be so lucky here in NW Indiana! |
| WINDY CITY PROWLER | I'm still driving my prowler it's 50 today. I have a guy that comes by and wash's my prowler in my garage at my office. It rained yesterday and had no choice but to drive in the rain. |
| catfish | nw indiana,the home of brown snow. ------------------
 |
| garysss | 65 here today, but no Prowlin yet. I'm painting outside while the weather is nice, before it's to COLD. This message has been edited by garysss on 12-15-2011 at 11:27 AM |
| George Johnson | 75 in Houston with rain coming... |
| Tennessee Cat | We drive Bad Cat year round here in TN, regardless of the temperature.
As long as there is no wind, rain, snow or salt. Dry, clean roads and we are good. |
| padroo | catfish, I help make the brown snow. I work in one of the steel mills. |
| ed monahan | It doesn't get to 115 degrees in Indiana, does it? That lasts about 5 or 6 months in AZ but they don't say much about the weather from April until October or so.
|
| NORMAN | THE KAT IS SLEEPING FOR THE WINTER ...WAITING FOR APRIL TO WAKE HER UP. HERE THE WINTER IS COLD AND WE DO HAVE SNOW.MAYBE DO SOME MODIFICATION THIS WINTER . |
| ALLEY CAT | Come'on Ed,,,,its only late May to Labor Day, or so, and its a dry heat, lol. Sunny and 65 here today, and we could see Four Peaks Mountain 50 miles away with deep, white snow covering the entire top 1/3 of the mountain. Unlike that brown, rust colored snow in Cincy,,,that you have to dig out of to drive places. Also,,,watch those potholes,,,some are bigger than that PT Cruiser....... |
| ed monahan | It was in the mid 60s here the past few days, including today. We have had A LOT of rain this year, double the usual amount. We did have snow flurries for about 3 minutes a week or two ago.
I was attempting to get the last of the leaves yesterday but it was windy today so there are more back on the lawn.
Winter hasn't hit here yet.
We probably should have played golf yesterday in Harrison, OH. It is very sandy soil down by the three rivers and it dries out there quickly. |
| Greg and Veta | It's going to be in the low 80's this weekend so I think I will take the Prowler to one of the local Saturday afternoon car club gatherings. I'll have to admit the last couple of weekends I have been taking the Corvair to the shows and getting about as much attention as I do with the Prowler.

| GenoTex | mmmmmmmm Corvair... 2nd car.. had a 64 supercharged Spyder  |
| DES | never appreciated the corvair..had one when i was 18... cool then i guess...
now a prowler..is timeless... |
| alrtg | I currently own a 1965 Corvair Monza Coupe that has been off the road since it was painted 25 plus years ago waiting to be reassembled and enjoyed. Over the years I have had many of these cars including early, and late models. Coupes, Convertibles, A Van as well as a 1962 Monza Wagon and a Mid Engine Kelmark V8 conversion. I enjoy both the Corvair and the Prowler equally as well but the Corvair is more practical as a daily driver. |
| faddeo | 23 degrees here today. I think I will just let the kitty sleep. |

You know, right behind the driver seat is a thing we like to call a decklid. You may not know how to open it, but look for a little yellow button just under the decklid behind the driver's seat and press that button and lift the decklid. Since your car is yellow, the button blends with the car and I can see how you might have missed noticing it. You'll find a top in there that you can put up. The car also has a heater. It's located in the center of the lower dash area. Those controls can be tricky to work, but they just rotate to the various settings. The heater in the Prowler is a pretty good one and with the heat on and the top up you don't need to be afraid to start the car and make the wheels go around when the weather turns cold. 
I've driven mine to a parade at freeway speeds with the top down in 45 degree temps with the heater on and was fine.
You just don't want the heater blowing on your feet or it will burn them. Best to leave that setting on vent. |
| garysss | Taking mine out right now, going to a party. It's about 32 right now. I drive all year as long as roads are clear.  |

You probably mean turbocharged. I have one, a 64 Spyder convertible. |
| EssexExport | Had mine out yesterday. Took one of my nephews for his first spin. Was probably around 50 degrees tops. |
| LEGOKAT | Mine hasn't been out since October. Just to much weather, cold temps and chemicals on the roads here in Colorado. Come this spring though, game on! ------------------

| BeWare | We took ours out this past Sunday to a Christmas Party. It was too cold to put the top down. It's getting very close to having 40K miles on the clock. This message has been edited by BeWare on 12-20-2011 at 12:20 PM |
| TLRandall | This has been a bust year for me on getting the cars out. From blistering heat to now cold and cloudy weather, work schedules that have been insane, and the kid being out of town so much, we just haven't had a chance to do much with the Prowlers. I hope 2012 will be better. |
