There is a lot of things from the past that caused the differences written in the thread. Do we want to live in the past? Time to move forward. I do not read or post on PPC, don't even know how to get there anymore.

Now I've had time to think about it a GROUP HUG OF ALL THE PROWLER OWNERS is in order.

I don't care if you belong to the Yugo Club of America too as long as you Love the Prowler you are welcome here

Deadwood here we come all POA & PPC or just a Lone Cat Owner is welcome

Who in the hug put lipstick on Paul's collar? Ed? Cliff?

I would not at all be opposed to a fee for this board because I know I have made friends, saved money, saved time and increased my Prowler experience from participation on the board. We all owe!!

We waited until you were off-line to have the hug - MikeG, GPShultz, and I voted you out during that phase, sorry.

Glad to hear the Intrepid Club is up to 7 members. That is the local one in Cincy right, with all the rusted out rocker panel moldings and rusted rear quarters? Or is that your national club, the one with owners who have over 130,000 miles without an oil change? Do you think that you can combine the two sites, to reduce the amount of reading your associates must do?

Just for fun, don't take us seriously please.
JohnS, we did vote him out of the hug didn't we?

I'm bringing two pair of underwear plus the ones I start with. It's called the Prowler packing system:
3 days from each briefs, day 1 wear regular, day 2 turn around and wear backwards, day 3 turn inside-out. Three pair = nine days on the road. Spray aftershave on socks, only one pair needed! Just need to pack t-shirts that STARFLAME mails me, plus Larry Mayes' wife Sue, does laundry on the trips. She comes with high marks for quality washing! Its easy to pack lite in a Prowler, as you don't need to take the whole house along............

I think the PPC could focus on the other benefits for it's paid members. That way you could get the best of both worlds...

After reading your two posts, I had to gather my thoughts before I answered. I am speaking only for myself...

Your first post starting " I tell ya, it's pretty sad".

When I transitioned from the PPC to the POA a year ago, I had just spent 6 months or more being constantly bashed by Mr. Herman and Mr. Tribble. If you didn't read any of that on PPC, I would be happy to have a conversation with you about it. You stated you spoke with many people. You didn't speak to me at that time. I can only conclude that you are judging me based on the PPC side of the story, which is the only one you have heard.

I apologize if you consider me eloquent in my writing. When I speak and when I write, I do it from the heart. I am not masking anything. If someone wants my opinion, they'd better be sure, because they will get it, no holds barred. If I decide to share my thoughts and opinions, I do it in the same manner. Sorry, just the way I am. Should I apologize for having some intelligence? Many people have told me that I should have been a writer, including my high school English teachers (in whose classes, I never had anything less than an "A" or "A+". I don't know about that, but maybe I should have and then I could afford to buy a Prowler in every color!!!

With regard to the PPC being blackballed at a national event last year. If you are referring to the Woodward Dream Cruise, then you and I need to have a conversation so that I can set the record straight. You don't know both sides of this issue, either.

I, personally, do not bash the other site or anyone on it. I will state facts, if asked, but I do not go out of my way to worry about PPC. I was banned from that site when I left. So be it. I did move on. There is only one person who can be held accountable for the PPC's lack of success, and that is the owner. More for another conversation.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the other site's members. We are all Prowler owners. If they choose to participate on the POA site and the POA events, they are more than welcome in my book. They were all invited to Dream Cruise last year and this year. We did not specify it as a club event of any kind, POA or otherwise. Carol and I billed it as an event for any and all Prowler Owners.

Tom Kalski was welcomed with open arms at the Dream Cruise last year by both Carol and me. Before he departed for the day, he asked me for ideas and assistance to get PPC back on track. I told him I had spent my time at PPC trying to keep things on track, to no avail. I was only bashed for my efforts by the two heads of the club. I had no ideas for him on how to do that. However, I did wish him luck. As I do now that he owns it.

My feelings on what type of group I want to belong to are my own. The POA, as it is right now, fulfills what I want for my Prowler owner experience. If everyone wants a merge, then my only question is how will it be decided on how it would be run? Like the POA is now, or how Tom wants the PPC to be? Whatever happens and whatever the answer is to that question, I will then make my own decision about my own involvement. That's puts it back to my original statement. It is all about choice.

This will be the last statement I make on this thread. Thanks for listening again.

I believe in the POA because it has something to offer to nearly every Prowler owner who wants to ask questions, get involved, have fun, and form new friendships. I agree that there is a large untapped number of owners out there, and with the help of DC's database, the PPC should focus its attention in that direction. Maybe news letters and its magazine; which I've never seen. The POA will also grow and be adding new associates constantly. What happens in the future, is up to "choice". My choice is the POA, as it now stands, as the leader in owner participation.

1) I did not know the PPC was "For Sale" Last I looked, I own it.

2) True, Nowell DID have the rights to the merchandising. That is no longer the case.

3) I was at Woodward last year and was indeed helped by Carol and CJ. Thank you both, Again.

4) Now that the problems with the Host are settled, I will have the time to make changes at the PPC.

I think that the best thing that we all should do, is to FORGET ABOUT THE PAST! NO ONE CAN CHANGE WHAT HAPPENED.Let's all move forward and try to learn from the past.
