Alright, it never fails. When ever you own a car that stands out or is something most non-car people don't know about you get those weird comments. Now, I haven't bought a Prowler yet, but I can only imagine what people say. I had an S2000 for about a year and half and people would ask me all kinds of stuff; "Is that a Ferrari?" "Nice corvette!" "Oh I read about those. They have that new V8." LOL With my Marauder people always want to know if I ave the "special high powered Police engine."

So how about the Prowler? What are some crazy comments you've heard?

Most recent was..."so...it's a two seater"?

You mean you can't tell! :roll:

Others are..."Is it a kit?", "How fast does it go!", "Did that car cost $80,000?"


Haven't heard any real good ones in a while but that's only cuz the weather just started warming up. I'm sure there will be more.

I heard some of those .....

a young kid asked me one time if it ""will burn rubber"".....

I told him "a little bit, but the front end starts to come up off the ground so I have to let up on it""

he smiled....

A guy telling his friend at the parking lot 'That's a PT Prowler'...
I would have smacked him silly if he said 'That's a PT Cruiser'.

i had a guy ask me ,,"what kinda car is this?" i said it's a prowler. he walks away and returns a few minutes later with a stupid look on his face and says,,,,,",uhhh i own a prowler". i didn't think a hardtop and a roll pan made that much of a difference,,,,,what a dumbass.

hey mike,

Maybe the Prowler he is talking about is the travel trailer...

I love it when they walk over and read the Plymouth emblem on the hood and then get this stupid look on their face like they don't believe it...priceless...

i hear ya! i had another couple run up to the car,and the wife says" look dear ,i've never seen a viper before". i was sitting in a lawn chair on the other side of the car, so i jumped up and said, you still haven't. they kinda looked me like i was a smart ass... sometimes i'd rather be a smart ass... 8)

Yes Hali, the guy was dead serious. His introductory line as he walked up was; "Is that some sort of classic car?" which I would have to say "Yes" to.

It went downhill after that.

Back when I first got the kat, there was an older gentleman at the dealership when I was there for service. He looked at the car and said "Why would anybody spend all that money on a car like that? It isn't practical." My response was three words: Because I can!

"nice viper" by Ford salesman

The most amazing comment that has been said to me was about my old 1994 Viper at a Jack in the Box drive threw... This girl at the window said how cool it's got the speakers on the outside of the car, up on the hood. Her male helper with all the tattoos and ear piercings said they have to do that as the car is so fast that it's the only way to hear the stereo at hi speeds.. Susan and I got about 3 blocks away and she turned to me and said doesn't the water when it rains ruin the speakers... I just laughed and said those aren't speakers Honey, :roll: those are grills to cook your food on... She smacked me! The Viper has caused quite a few problems since I have had it, with Susan and I.... But I have been lucky enough to keep both.... onecatnodog http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f65/onecatnodog/Jims%20extreme%20prowlers/dscf0833.jpg:roll:

After commenting on how good the Kat looked, a middle-aged woman asked me if it was a "Hybrid."

On the way to Bama the first of the month the ladies( Mrs.KatHunter & Mrs.Freeze ) told an Older gentleman that they helped us build the cars in our garages :biggrin: I told them they very mean :nono:

Traveling through a back woods section of Maine last year. Stopped by a gas station. A guy was admiring my kat when I came out. He looked over to his buddy and yelled..."Hey...look at this...it's a Ford Panther"
