i hate the HOT ROD look though...

i never really like those type of cars, just ugly and old lookin in my tastes IMO.

i feel like the car is going to break apart if it hits a bump. im really suprised the thing passed the 5mph bumper test.

The orange one is owned by an older guy that works in B'burg. I talked to him one day in Salem at a car show. He used to have some special edition PT cruzer and traded it in on that Prowler. He was a nice guy, nothing special.

He was all excited he got the $5,000 matching trailer for it too.

As for more around town I only know of one in Radford. Going out to my gf's house in Snowville (far side of Radford) there is a guy out there who has one. Never leaves the garage unless its 80 or above and not a cloud in the sky.

Nice cars!!

There are a few Prowlers around. I see a purple one a lot too. They're sort of cool... Would be nice if they had more power. Better than a freaking PT Cruiser at least.
