I rarely come on here anymore, for one reason only, (other than having sold the Bullet years ago). I like the jokes posted, and have met some very close friend's on here and at the events.

But,,,,,,,,,,,,

The friggin political posts showing up everywhere SUCK.

It ruins it for the normal car enthusiast.

If the people guilty of all the political posts, and you know who you are, are so upset with the current situation, no matter what party you favor, then.


Run for office somewhere,,, Make a difference somehow

You sure as hell are not doing any good posting here, other than the false feeling of puffing out your chest because you think you said something important. I mean s$$t. The only thing you are doing here is turning some people off, pushing them away from this site, having this site ridiculed by other car owners.

Now I know this has probably been said before, and I can bet there will be a 10 to 1 ratio of freedom of speech wannabe protectors, etc, and everyone has rights, etc,, but you know what

Screw you all, if you feel that passionate about your party, or political views, then do something positive with it. Take some friggin action you wusses.

OK I am off the soap opera.

Other than that, hello to you all,, Bob and CJ,, I'm so glad you son is OK. Thank him for me for his service.

Marc, get a fast car for once will ya? One that will beat that cop off the line at Woodward,,,,

I still see a Prowler once in awhile on the road, although the people driving them now are 3rd and 4th owners it seems. Not having a clue as to the togetherness this site once had. Too bad, so sad.

Peace out.

WOW.....WHETHER OR NOT YOU AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH THIS PERSON.....LIKE HIM/HER OR NOT, EVERYONE IS ENTITLED TO HAVE 'THEIR' OPINION ABOUT SOMETHING/ANYTHING....SUCH AS THIS ONE.....EVEN POLITICAL ONES. STARTING YOUR POST IN THIS FORUM AND SPEAKING YOUR MIND IS OKAY AND COOL (SOME MIGHT SUGGEST THOUGH, IT SHOULD'VE BEEN POSTED IN THE 'TAKE IT OUTSIDE' FORUM). SOME PREFER PUTTING THEIR OPINION(S) IN WRITING....OTHERS WILL VOICE THEIRS....SOME SAY NOTHING AT ALL. EITHER WAY, IT'S ALL OKAY! I LIKE A PERSON WHO SAYS WHAT HE/SHE THINKS (JUST LIKE THIS PERSON DID ABOVE)....NOT HAVING TO GUESS WHAT IS ON THEIR MIND! SUPPOSE THAT IS WHY THERE ARE SO MANY "VARIOUS" FORUMS ON THIS SITE. ONE THING FOR SURE, NOBODY HOLDS A GUN TO ANYONE'S HEAD, FORCING THEM TO VISIT THIS SITE AND MOREOVER SURF ANY OF THE FORUMS AND POSTS.......LET ALONE READ THEM! IT'S EVEN OKAY TO PISS ON SOMEONE'S CORNFLAKES......JUST DON'T LET THEM KNOW IT WAS YOU. BTW....NO MATTER WHO SAYS WHAT....THERE'S GOING TO BE SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T AGREE WITH IT, OR TAKEN THE WRONG WAY, ETC. EITHER WAY, THE WORLD WILL CONTINUE TO TURN. KEEP SPEAKING YOUR MIND.....IT REALLY IS OKAY. THIS IS GOING TO BE ONE VERY MUCH 'VISITED' & 'COMMENTED-ON' POST....OH YEA!

Nothing will change, only the people's names to protect the innocent.

But what I said is true, who wants to read that crap everyday. I know, we all have a right, yada yada yada, but I have a right too. And those posts suck. I didn't look real hard this time around but I thought there use to be a forum topic to take that stuff too. Guess even the so called "people out for our protection" cant follow directions..

And I want to thank you broakie56 to let it be ok for me to post. It means a lot to me...........Ok,, straight face,,,, it really doesn't mean that much.

Anyway guys, fun chatting with you guys from CA.....shoot some of that warm Sun over East.....wanna take the Kat out for a stroll. Also, I like your old ride John......pretty cool. Nice to see other folks on this site that I never knew existed.....still a newbie by POA standards. John, other then the tranny problems, why did you rid of your Prowler?

PS...had my Kat shipped across country from Pleasanton, CA back in March

The first thing to remember here is this, you are able to post here because you have freedom of speech. Someone once asked are all politicians crooks to begin with or do all elected officials become crooks? If this site turns anyone off for any reason, I would say don't visit it, visit a site that makes you happy. A while back we had a topic in this forum where all the political posts could be made. It worked well, many seemed interested it now appears to be gone. Politics are an everyday part of our life and just because you don't agree with the current or any other administration doesn't mean you have to run for office, most aren't qualified to be the president of this country or a Senator or Congressman or woman. Citizens of this great country have the right to vote, and they place their trust in the people they elect. Their trust is not always rewarded but nonetheless one hopes they will do the right thing. There are many here who post political topics under the off topic discussion section, which is fine, politics should be under the off topic area, or the politics section when there. I would say the moderators of this site should make the final decision as to how much of any one topic is allowed on this site. There could be something said about posting information about family members, children, pets, weddings, deaths, illness, or any other topic in the off topic discussion area, some may not approve of those discussions. This site is not just about cars it's about people and friends. If we eliminate one topic should we not eliminate the ones that offend any individual on this site. I personally have never spoken to anyone who has bad mouthed or ridiculed this site because of political posts, who would that be? The other Prowler site has something to say about everything this site does and is about, they could not restrain themselves and many were banned and rightfully so. This is supposed to be a fun informative place to come and enjoy ourselves. We should never attack or degrade anyone here for their thoughts beliefs or posts, sure you can disagree but everyone is entitled to their opinion, we should all care about each other, remember we are a family, the POA family.

I completly agree with this statement and wish that everyone did, however this is not the case, being one of the few DemocRATS on this site I am often made to feel as if this countries faults and mistakes are mine personally and am talked about as if I were a leper or an AIDS victim, not much fun for me or others I assume....yes I could just leave, however the wealth of prowler info and my friends would be sorely missed, bob

nitrosteve;
You mean I cant say wusses??

And Larry,, I'll put this six cylinder flathead up against any other original sized flatty,,, why,, I've almost doubled the horsepower in this beast. (not going to tell what stock HP is,,) ;0

Just turned over 30K miles on her,,
Now has;
AC
Power windows and doors, with remote,
Pre olier,, (anyone else know what that is?)
race cam, dual two barrel carbs, headers, and the list goes on and on. Kind of like what I did to my Prowler,,,, besides blow it up that is,,


Why she can run the quarter mile and not have to look back for parts on the strip.

BTW Larry, still have that old racer you stopped by here for a pit repair years back?

Happy to be here,, all you w,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, people,

Hey John - good to see you still have an opinion on things! Your car is looking good. I enjoyed looking at the pics. It shows taht you've been doing some work on it since you got it!

I've got my vehicle up to 422 RWHP but, like you- it's not a Prowler any more. Maybe again someday.

Hope all is well in California

John, I hope you take this post in the same vein that you posted your thoughts. I am glad to see you are sill lurking and checking back in on us.
I disagree with several things you said, however.
The second last statement that the 3r and 4th Prowler owners don't have a clue as to the togetherness we once had on this site. I think this site is MUCH improved with the removal of a few folks. (Not YOU, I am talking a few who were banned and still come back to post under an alias.) Dick Linneman is a local who never posts and has only been on the site for a couple of years, yet he cured the center cap blues. Most folks are relatively new compared to me so I don't know where the cut-off is for the newer folks. I don't know who bought their car new and who is a 3rd or 4th generation owner. I am both. I bought the first one new and the other 3 used. At the Smoky event I met new folks who were every bit as enthusiastic as any that I met 10 years ago. The are so enthusiastic that they actually own a Prowler. lol They contribute to the site by their presence at events, posting insightful thougts, solutions, jokes, pictures, etc. Galaxie is new, compared to me, but he has made numerous items to dress up the cars. The list is endless.
I am guilty of the political post along with several others. The site has some rules and since no one is threatening to kill Robert and he only posts rebuttals to the "reasonable" posts by me, Alley Cat, BeWare etc, I guess he still likes it here. I have met Robert several times and I like him. I don't think I will convert him and he will never convert me to his crazy, liberal way of thinking. lol Bob Miller is another flaming liberal and I really like him but don't tell him about that part. We can disagree but still get along.
The POA is the greatest site on the internet. I don't know which other websites are laughing at us for our political posts but they are reading OUR site, I am not reading theirs or posting on their site.
This site is for Prowler owners, future or past. Everyone is welcome until they wear out their welcome.
We have the right to post our thoughts just as you posted your thoughts. I have never had a cross word with you J D and I hope you take this in the same way you posted your thoughts. I hope you can make it to Woodward again some year. Maybe Marc can tow you to Detroit some year. lol

Hey, I never let my personal beliefs or political differences interfere with my friendships. I have great respect for A/c, Beware and Ed and all other POA members, many of whom disagree with me. Even though we may disagree I like to hear their comments and criticisms. I have always tried to be respectful and not engage in name calling. Yes I can be offensive but can also be offended. We are all human and of different backgrounds. I have learned from their posts and hope that they can learn from mine. This is a great site and I have met great people so I'll stay until I'm voted off the island.~Robert

Doubled the horsepower? What are you up to almost 200 H. P. now?
Atta boy! That oughta make the old sled roll along pretty fast.

Yes. I still have the racer and yes, it's a flathead too! It's a fun car but nobody ever believes that I drove it from Portland to Riverside.

Here's a picture of my current dirt track modified car.
I run this one at Perris Auto Speedway and I am currently second in the points championship race.

Hey Ed, thanks for standing up. Wonder if Marc will,,,,,,,

The people I meet in public with Prowlers have no idea of this site, or if they do, they don't like the garbage put on here. (their choice of words, not mine#. And no I didn't take the name and number to verify.

But I am not in the minority, (omg a political term) who believe this is not a place for the senseless posts about it.
I mean, its like children. If you, (using the term "you" in general here), don't get your way, your going to kick and scream till somebody acknowledges you. Like little kids in elementary school no less.

I know my post is not going to make one bit of difference on the future, but that still does not make those post so friggen stupid,, and yes, they are stupid,, like I said,
Go stand on the foot of the capital, or city hall, get on the soap box and state your case. What the hell do you guys, and gals expect us to do reading the rhetoric.

It's distasteful, boring. Ruins a good car site.

I received a answer in PM about why the political off topic category was removed. Because it got out of hand with the abuse???? Man what does that tell you about the quality of life of some people. They have to drive their beliefs into people? That sucks, and if it were to be tried on me you can believe I would object to it in no quiet terms. But just knowing it was removed because some people could not maintain, well, that speaks volumes. I wish people would have learned from that experience.

So what happens the first post I go to in off topic? Some jerk telling me how bad my life is suppose to be because some politition didn't do something your, (the term "your" in general again) way, your going to pout and cry, and tell everyone how wrong it is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, (just shaking my head here).
Some people need to grow up. Or if not grow up, then run for office like I said earlier.

Your right, we have never have had cross words ED, cept when you would defend a certain Gary in the past.
I don't think we will, your a pretty funny guy, and a definite Prowler Pusher on here. But the next time you mention a guy named Marc towing my car,,,well, ,we will have words,,,,. (do you remember Marc not only blew his tranny going to Deadwood, but he was also in my car when it blew at the same event. In fact, if I remember right, he was mashing the gas pedal on my Kat when it went up in smoke.
Peace...
