So have to guess when the thread started it had 20-25k miles

Today it has about 43,000 miles

It has been a lot of fun and the people we have met are the best out there.

The purchase was life changing and wouldn't trade the friends and memories for anything.

There are still haters out there, say it should have had a V8, it rides bad and many other comments.

Put a Prowler around other sports cars or exotics and see the people looking at and taking pictures of the Prowler.

We don't get ours out much due to Sues health, but we do enjoy it some. The long trips and events are over for her, but hope to join in on day trip or very laid back events in the future.

Would guess be a long time before it hits 50,000 miles

I do recall going to see the new '97 at a local dealer when it was introduced.

It was 2002 when Dad bought his Black Tie New and I had an opportunity to get a better look at one first hand.

In 2004 (give or take) a friend bought the Prowler I now own (out of Texas through E-Bay) with about 9,000 miles on it.

In 2008 I purchased the car from my friend with 13,800 miles on it.

I joined POA where I got acquainted with the local East Coast Possee and attended my first event for a weekend in Ocean City Maryland.

During the first year of ownership, I accumulated an additional 9,000 miles of smiles on the car.

In subsequent years I was able to attend the Smokies, Deep Creek MD, The Nursing Home Nationals, Statue of Liberty, Sipshewana Indiana, and several Carlisle PA events. I have also had the opportunity to add to the "Mod's" on the car to make it mine.

As of today my Prowler has a little over 52,000 miles on it and I have enjoyed almost every mile along the way.

Yes there have been a few moments that were less than joyful but the good far outweighs the not so great moments.

One of the best parts about my Prowler experience has been the people I have met along the way.
I especially treasure being able to attend some of these events with my Parents.

Sadly, Dad decided it was time to let his Black Tie go and sold it last year. He does miss it but still has the memories.

I'll be watching the obituaries and I plan to contact your "grief stricken" widows with an immediate marriage proposal and a promise that she and I will go cruise'n and start havin' a WHOLE BUNCH of fun at Prowler events just as soon as your old, miserable "no fun" carcass cools and we can get your sorry azz planted....(by the lowest priced funeral home of course, since we know that you like to be conservative)

P.S....Tell her to send me a picture of the Prowler along with verification of mileage and a clear title...(Her profile and photo isn't necessary)
