I was kicking myself all day, as it is so rare to pass another one, and this was obviously his daily driver.....I should have just been late for work!

It's that feeling that..."There is SO much about the Prowler that I bet he doesn't know!!" I almost had another recruit for this site....maybe I'll catch up to him soon.

I swear, there is no other car on the road that would make me think in this way!

Anyway....just had to vent that little bit of frustration.

(When I had my 98 Camaro, I joined the Eastern F-Body Association because the organizer left a note on my windshield one day!)

Oh well........Carry on.

The problem is FINDING the prowlers to put the flyer on!

Maybe drop by that Blockbuster & ask a few of the employees if they know who the owner is & leave them contact information to pass on... Or just rent a DVD very night

CJ - Glad I finally got to see your flyer! Really looks nice & has great information on it... Nice Job!

On the other hand...when I met a guy at the drive-in who had a black Prowler, we were trying to tell him about so many things he should know about the car, and this website. Then he was telling me about all the major operations he had (IE: bone marrow transplant, heart attacks, etc> ) and I realized later that he really could care less about the Prowler quirks that we all love and have to acknowledge....he was just going day by day and trying to enjoy life above ground. Sometimes, I guess there is a reason some owners don't care about the websites, forums, events, other owners, etc.....sometimes they have bigger worries.

BT, Just cause someone has the car, doesn't mean they want to join the site or any club. I've had several Porsches, Ferrari's, and several other odd cars and have never joined any of the clubs or sites.

To some, it is just a car (yeah, perhaps they don't get it. perhaps they don't care to)
Others don't care to do any mods to it (or any of their other cars)
Others may not have a computer
Others may not care to sit around and chat about their car

I can tell you one story that could have ended tragically for one guy. Back in the mid 80's my wife wanted a new popular little car. When she got it, people with other ones would beep and wave at her. She thought that was fun. One day she called me on her cell phone and said this guy was following her beeping, flashing his lights, and trying to get her to pull over. She paniced. I paniced. I told her to hang up and call the police and head for one of their stations. I jumped in my car and raced to her location. The police intercepted them before I did (thank goodness) and pulled them over. Turns out the moron wanted to tell her about the local chapter of the "Suzuki Samari" club. (he wasn't driving his samari at the time).

Nowadays, with concealed handguns and such, guys like that might get popped for doing something so stupid before the police ever get there.

Just a few weeks ago I saw a car up ahead with 2 tires dangerously low, I got alongside at the light and honked to get -what happened to be a blond woman- her attention and just yell out the window that her tires were almost flat. She would not look over for anything, and I figured..."Oh well, your loss. You are going to find out about your tires the hard way then!"

We had been in Tecate for a week then went over to Rosarito Beach for 1 night (having been at a vegetarian ranch, I had to have some lobster and drawn butter). We drove our PT Cruiser there, because I wasnt sure about taking the Kat over the border.

Just as we were nearing the border, Dai says a Prowler just let me in this lane... I said something like No Waaayyy. Then a black passed us. I couldn't believe someone took their Prowler to Baja. I had to get out and see who did that!
If you've never been to that crossing there are lots of people selling stuff in the lanes. Most will stop at your car and want you to buy their things...

So I jump out of the car and run up and knock at the car window. They wouldn't even look at me! hahaha. It wasn't until I yelled several times "I have a Prowler too!" That they looked and then rolled down the window. The plates were from Oregon. They said they had no trouble having the car down there. Just parked it out in front of the hotel. I was so shocked. They said they knew about the site, and that was about it...
