Price Paid:
$40000.00
from Indpls and Miles Cit Strengths:
Whoever said it was not for long crusing is an idiot. It is the most confortable cruiser I have ever driven. It does do well in the city, I admit, as it is small, parks easily, and hell, no one would ever steal it.
Its strength: Once you have one, there is no other car. Everything else is just transportation. Weaknesses:
It is not a stable car unless the road is dry and clear. It is especially unstable with the trailer, which has tires that are much less likely to hydroplane. Driving back from Canada to Indy with the Trailer, I was crossing Montana in my Black 2000, going down a slight hill on a country road, perhaps a bit fast. The car started to hydroplane; no big deal, I can always get it back. But I never drove with the trailer. So the trailer did not hydroplane, and starts to push the car with its rigid hitch, counterclockwise. Around and around I went till I spun off the road in a near fatal accident. The sheriff of Jordan Montana, Kelly Pierson (perhaps the nicest man alive) found me hours later. This car is rock solid; built like an Indy car. Both airbags came out when I T boned a fence post at a solid 65, and didn't break a bone. But my head hit the top and screwed me up. Of all tjhe ironies in the world, there less than 100 miles away is a new Black 2000 for sale, sitting in the showroom at Miles City Montana for 2 1/2 years. My insurance arranged with Cindy of Miles City Chrysler to get it for me, as the accident was attributed to a design defect. Do not tow anything in the rain. Summary:
This is a car that is arguably the best car for a certain type of person. It doesn't need a V8; what do you want to do, 190. This car costs no more than an Infinity, a good Pick up, but it offers much more, it offers life. My boss said "Why don't you get an adult car". I said, I would just as soon drive a Neon as a Lexus. The Prowler looks mean, but it's gentle. It can run true and solid, but it can slip and slide. It can take control, and it can lose control just as fast. The Prowler looks like a car, but acts like a person. It has its own personality, and if you treat it right, it will treat you right. But if you don't, you may not survive. Indeed, the Prowler is much like me; stable? Sometimes as stable as a rock; others, not so clear. Mean but nice. Tempermental but powerful. It will get you where you want to go; nd you'll not be bored getting there. Similar Products Used:
I've had all the Greats. Supra, Nissan 300 ZX, Austin Healy, MGA, TR4. The best; Supra, Prowler and TR4.
