Took the Prowler out tonight, and noticed I have only put 1100 miles on in the past 16 months since I bought it... Not that I drive my daily driver that much either.. It has 2500 on since I bought in Aug/07..

Makes me wonder.. How many miles have you put on your car since you bought? How many per year?

Weather took a turn for the worst Sat and Sun , Snow flurries , 30's Sat and Sun, Still waiting for the weather to change , most of the miles on the Kat were from last your at Tulsa and Woodward , little of 4,000 miles had 600 miles when I bought it

Bought it in '01 and from '01 to '04 we put only 3K miles on it ........... yes, I treated it as a garage queen ......... then came a defining moment, meeting fellow Prowler Owners and go cruising ...... :biggrin: ...... so from '04 to '08 .... 13.000 miles of smiles, literally ! :beer:

Bought mine in december of 2003 with 200 miles on it. Drove it home 1100 miles.
I'm sitting just over 20,000 miles and have not had it out this year yet.

500 miles of on a trailer time. :mad::mad: Whole nother story.

Bought mine with 1,600 miles in April of '07. I have 15K miles on it now. 5K from the route 66 trip. Was worried about putting miles on it when I got it. But I enjoy driving it too much. That is not to say that I don't baby the hell out of it and keep it extremely clean. I am not going to worry about miles anymore. If I want a garage queen, I will go buy another one someday. We all know there are plenty of those out there considering there is a small community of active drivers on the road.

Before I even bought the kat, I read the boards and realized that some of the largest prowler events only brought out around 60 or more kats. Woodward '07 was obviously much larger. What I want to know is where are all the other thousands of kats that were made??? Sitting in garages is my guess.

Bought mine in 04' with 5K, now I have 13K. I drive it whenever it is nice out, and 1-2 seats will work. It's not a garage queen, but not a daily driver either.

Bought my 97 in 2004 with just over 9,500 miles on it. Had it out yesterday and noticed it turned 54,000.
Heck I'd drive it even more than I do, if I didn't encounter so many potholes on my commute to work.:eek2:

I had no intention of my kat ever being a garage queen.

Had a great time attending the last three big Prowler events. I truly look forward to seeing you guys.:tu:

This life is too short and nobody knows what tomorrow holds...so get out there and enjoy it!!!:biggrin:




51K...not bad Larry!

Who has 51K...Geno? Where did you read that?

01 Orange...28K miles...in Daytona Fl. last I knew


Why is the Tangelo down there Larry?

How many can say they've done that:?:

As soon as they salt the roads around here...the kat is put away for the Winter.

'01 purchased June '03 with 22,000+
'02 bought Jan 05 and has 13,000+ on it.
Only problems were heed to replace shocks on both and one second shock on '01 left rear.
Had to replace hood shocks both cars.
Other than that they are perfect.

1997 prowler has no 13,480 miles on her :-D. I feel like a cheap weasel because I don't drive her that much but she gets excellent care. New tires next week, getting worried about having ten year old tires on my baby.
