“Well that explains it, you aren’t really anything are you?”

I’m from Knoxville and while it’s definitely not at all what it was like when I was growing up, UT keep it more even keeled racially than basically anywhere in a 20 mile radius of Knoxville.

Exactly. What has the car industry done in the past century to make people blindly trust that a perfect car will be delivered every time? A car purchase is nothing like the everyday online impulse buys.

1. Mahindra has had a license to produce Jeeps since 1947. It was only their decision to sell vehicles in the US that drove FCA to challenge it.

We aren’t flattening the curve where I live.

That part of the dealer experience isn’t bad. The bad part is when you go to the stupid little glass office and watch numbers dance on paper and know they are trying to rip you off.
Then you go to a deeper office and the pages upon pages of legalese designed to deceive is shoveled in front of you.  And for some reason…

I would hope that being smart about it would include WEARING A DAMN MASK. I don’t think any other country has turned mask-wearing into a political argument. Research is consistently showing that it is effective enough. 

Just be smart about it.

Counterpoint: I will never buy a vehicle I have neither sat in nor driven. And, to do those things, you have to go to a dealership.

“Be smart about it”, by which you  mean, I assume, that if a bunch of cases are reported in a workplace, that workplace should probably be taking a bunch of measures to make sure it doesn’t spread further, by maybe closing down for a brief period, disinfecting everything, and allowing those with cases to get over…

You hit the nail on the head for me. No wonder car companies don’t cater to us, we’re absolute morons when it comes to follow-through:

I worked for Chrysler during the Prowler years. Most of us, and the dealers who were going to be selling them, we’re pretty much thinking WTF when this thing got launched.

Stuff like the Bumpers by Rubbermaid, just made it look horrible in person.

A neighbor of mine has 4 (not pictured is his red one). When I inquired about his prowler collection, he told me he lost a bet and needed to buy one from every year of production.... I didn’t ask any further questions.

Awful take. It had a 0-60 time of 5.9 seconds and used an all new aluminum bonded chassis that was totally cutting edge. Calling this a neon with a facelift is just plain wrong. and it sounded great, with a tuned exhaust that nobody mistook for a sebring. with a bespoke transaxle and basically F1 suspension design, it…

I never understood the hate for these cars.

I had the opportunity to drive one a couple years ago, and it was fun if not blisteringly fast or beastly sounding. I honestly had a great time driving it around Eastern Kentucky back/mountain roads.

I thought the Prowler was kinda cool then Hoovie got one...

Isn’t it funny how our perception of performance has changed? After the horsepower bump, the Prowler had a 0-60 time of 5.6-5.9 secs and 1/4 mile time in the mid 14s...just a few tenths off what a Mustang GT was pulling at that time.

I don’t think it was the horsepower, it was the number of cylinders that offended the type of buyer who would be interested in that nostalgia trip. 

Sorry but 250hp pushing 2800lbs is just fine. The Prowler fails the brag test not the drive test.
