I've heard all the above also but lately I overheard someone telling a guy at local car show that the engine was in the trunk. Also been asked if it has a top? what size gas tank and why didn't I get the V-8 (This one was at the car dealer from a salesman, DUH!!!)

Q: What's that on the back of it? (weekender)
A: (casually) Oh, that's my parachute...
Response: WOW, COOL!

Oh my God, love it!!

The best I've gotten goes like this:

I'm drinking my coffee about 30-40 feet from my Kitty parked at Starbucks. (Does not assume I own the car) A man and his son approach, stop, and the man bends down to tie his kids shoes.

Kid say "Dad, does that car cost a million dollars?"
Dad says "No, I dont think that much."
Kid says "Dad, does it cost a half-million dollars?"
Dad says "No, probably half of that."
Kid says "How much is half a half-million dollars?"
Dad says "$250,000.00 or a quarter million dollars."

Kid says "Dad, how much does our car cost?"

At Cruising the Coast in 2002 we had about 20 to 25 Prowlers parked together and one "know it all" was informing an unenlightened friend that the older Prowlers didn't have bumpers, just the new models.

Having only had the car for a mere 2.5 weeks, I have already been asked all those questions and some. Today a woman asked if she could photograph her 10 yr old in front of the car. But of course?

Three of us met for breakfast in Daytona on Sunday at Cracker Barrel. From inside we could see the cars, a yellow, purple and balck one out a window parked way around the side. From inside a couple a people were looking out the window including waitresses and we saw about 10-15 people milling around the cars during our stay. Talk about eye candy!

Never thought I would see such interest ina car. Now I have to prepare for this everywhere I stop and go!

The one I like to get is; Q. Is that thing fast? or..How fast will it go?

A. Fast enough for this old man and I'm pretty quick! I got a good laugh out of them each time.

Allow me to offer the perfect metaphor for "who makes that car?"

(Because ours is a '97), "....It's a Prowler & it was made by Plymouth. The Prowler is to Plymouth what Avanti was for Studebaker, too much - too late."
My God how I've lusted for that car (and still do, 41 years later)!

I too have been asked if the engine was in the rear.
One that I will never forget was the last car show I was in, I received a marriage proposal (and she was actually good looking too). Problem is, she was already married. Her husband had no interest in my car. I thought I heard Jungle Fever playing when I let her sit in it. You'da' sworn it had a back seat!

I've been asked if I built it myself...

Most people seem to know there's a V-6 under the hood, which surprised me.

2 days ago a kid approx. 6 years old looked out the passenger side of his dad's car and smiled and gave me the devil horn "you bad" sign...we were laughing pretty hard at this little squeaky clean kid flashing the horns...too funny.
