      I punched it a couple of times, but never went over 50. It was broad daylight and I was scared I would rack the thing up....

      Besides, you can't see the front end from the drivers seat, and it's only about 7" off the ground......makes me glad to drive my 93 Yota...can't hurt it, and I own it.

        I hate the dash on those. Can't stand when the gauges aren't DIRECTLY in front of me

        Nice work though

          The only major drawback with the interior is that there is only one cupholder......for Gawd Sakes man...one cupholder...sheez!!!!

          The dash setup is different, but I was amazed at how quickly you adjust. The speedometer is angled slighty, so you really have no trouble seeing it.

          I can't wait until spring now...you are looking at the new advertising pic for the springtime brouchure..

                  Although the paint was in great shape, there were some fine stright line scratches and few "bumps" that needed work. (remember I said you can't see the nose from the drivers seat...BINGO!)

                  Anyway, after a good wash and dry I started with #83 and a coarse pad on the PC. I then moved up to #80 and a polishing pad and then NXT with a finishing pad. This was my first time using Meguiar's Pads, and overall I was happy with the results. (I did end up getting a new polishing pad as my velcro let go after only 3 uses......bummer)

                  I would have loved to top it with a #26 or maybe Natty's, but it is going into storage, so there wasn't much point. Next spring, if it comes back to me (which it most likely will) thats my plan.

                  I used Blue Max on the rims, but would probably change that up as it was a pain. Looking to try the NXT Metal polish next time.

                    Nice work!

                    I really like the Prowler, we had a class here for the Prowler club and there were a lot of fine Prowlers in attendance...

                      I looked at a Porsche the other day. NO cup holder. At least not to take away from the interior. I hate ugly cupholders. Pic is below.

                      How was that Prowler's transmission? I always thought making it as an Auto-Stick only was a big mistake. I've driven a couple Dodge's with that option and I wasn't impressed with it.

                        I drove it both ways, and it was kinda cool. I think I'd rather have a true standard however.

                        Hey Mike, that's cool withthe hard top, this one has a rag top.
