Are we sure this isn’t the rowing club? I see a lot of oars and some big arms.

Agreed, I wanted to vote CP but this is rare enough and in great condition to fetch that price at the right auction. I abstained from voting today.

Cool little truck. As somone who learned to drive cars on a B-series (learned tractors well before, but John Deere hand-clutchs and two-cylinder-torque don’t teach you much about automotive control...) I have a great affinity for these durable and capable little guys... HOWEVER, the REPU is one of the few vehicle…

This truck is from a time when trucks were tools. Those exposed wires were normal.

The alternator is the largest thing under the hood.

Or its possible that the vehicle was designed that way from the start? I know a lot of cars look horrible if you lay on the ground and peer up under the dash from the floor.

...and better aero during the day when you do most of your driving. Also, lower hood line, increasing visibility. Also looks fucking awesome.

The perfect car. Why did consumers take it for granted?

Personally speaking, as an idiot teenager, I intentionally went faster than 85 so I could say I pinned the needle. Good job US gov’t indeed...

I’ma go ahead and say I’ve never driver a CR-Z,

It’s not like they didn’t have a 6-speed manual from the Viper in their product lineup or anything...

The biggest problem with the Prowler is that it is a manufactured car designed to look like a hot rod. And hot rods are by definition ordinary cars customized by the owner. So, it’s a poseur right out of the gate.…

It’s not economical enough to justify the weight of the hybrid system. It’s not quick enough to justify its looks.

It’s numb to drive, it’s got useless dead weight (Hybrid garbage), it’s not very efficient, it’s uncomfortable, it’s too expensive...

Shhh. Don’t use logic. The idiots come out in droves to bash the Prowler.

Emissions regs had been tightened not long before, and the automakers hadn’t yet figured out how to make engines work properly under the new restrictions.

Amazing how 40 years of technology works.

It’s almost as if there were 40+ years of development since then.

a “hot rod” originally meant something an owner hopped up themselves using a fairly mundane car as a base. The ‘32 Ford is the archetype of a hot rod; chop the roof off, lower the suspension, put a honkin’ V8 underhood (if you bothered to keep the hood,) and the Prowler was supposed to emulate that.

For me, the Solstice coupe made it a worthwhile endeavor.

People never get tired of saying stupid stuff about the Prowler. What V8 were they going to put in there, exactly? An iron 318 or a 360 boat anchor? Only a four speed auto? Hello genius, this was more than fifteen years ago, a four speed auto is what they had. This was a 255 horsepower car in 1999 that only weighed…
