Some of you may know I have been looking for my Prowler for a couple months now. I think I found a great deal on one in Tx. I was going to have it shipped to me in FL, but I decided to drive it home. Is this crazy? I know the car has a small tank and almost no trunk, but what else should I know before I hit the road. Also will a fairly flat garment bag fit in the trunk? I'm actually looking forward to the drive, but I am a little worried about stopping for the night and the car getting messed with. Any input is welcome! )I got screwed by the dealer!!! They backed out on me!!! I will post on it on another topic!

GO FOR IT!!!!! I bought mine in MD and drove it to FL and then moved to NJ. Drove it all the way. Yes a garment bag will fit. There isn't alot of room but there is enough. Taking your cloths out and spreading them around the trunk helps. It shouldn't be a problem but it WILL be a GREAT time.

Install front mud flaps when you pickup the car, so you don't get chips in the paint on the drive home.

C5 - VooDooMan is correct - a fold over suit/garment bag works perfect with enough room for your soft leather Corvette duffle bag. I drove mine 1400 miles back home to Az. and had to find a plastic surgeon to get the smile off my face. Plan on stopping for fuel every 200-250 miles, which you'll need to stretch out your legs anyway. Load up the passenger seat as well - cooler, shave bag, shoes, etc.

What color cat did you get???? There was a silver one on Ebay this last week from Texas. I think this 2001 sold below 36K.

Drive it! Where in Texas? Maybe we can have a send off for you. Small tank yes, but you will still get 225 miles to the tank on the way home. Well worth the drive...so many smiles to the miles.

Installing the front flaps before the trip is very very good advice.

In my humble opinion this very kind of Dealer BS is one of the major reasons the Prowler did not sell to DC's expectations. This really jacks my jaws.
