Damn good shots of the blue. Shows the color nicely in the sun.

Excellent pictures WHealy. How does it feel to finally grasp the steering wheel and stepping on the accelerator peddle? ;) By the way, what does your plate say?

Sea Ray 12-07-2003 04:14 PM

Great shots, this car is so good in any color! How can you go wrong!

Ohgeez 12-07-2003 04:27 PM

WOW!!!!!!!:eek:

I've never found the blue on the X to be very flattering but after seeing these pics......it has definately changed my mind.

VERY NICE!!! :cool:

Well, it says C PRWLR as in Chrysler Prowler. Obviously the plate is from my previous car. Consideing I won't be able to get personalized plate for the "8" until the begining of 05 (!), I'll probably just switch it for a regular numbered plate.

Here's some pic of the previous car.

Yep that was me. I figured i would have to hold it until spring. After hearing trade-in values around the area (South Bend, Cincy, Indy) I knew I would. Until I talked to Craig Landreth. They were way above the others and within about $500 of what I thougt I would get for it on my own. They matched "8" prices with the others too placing it at $1.700 below MSRP. Coulnd't find a better deal and it was close to what I thought I could get max. So I drove down on Monday and did he deed. I'll miss it, but I'll really enjoy the "8" too!

It is a cool looking prowler, but not much room in the back seat.

I almost went over there Sat but ended up doing my deal at Bluegrass Mazda in Louisville. My car is actually coming up from Owensboro, it is sitting in a dealers showroom until in the morning.

Good luck with the new car and enjoy!

Sea Ray,

Not trying to be picky, but there is no back seat in a Prowler. :) That's part of the reason why I'm here!

Best of luck with the new ride. Be sure and post some pics of info so we know what it is.

Sea Ray 12-07-2003 07:59 PM

Yes I know, I was joking. That is what I asked the salesman when he wanted to know if I was interested :)

But you know a rumble seat in it would be interesting, hmm...

Thanks. Like I said, that's the blue I was dying to get.

5 Meg digital camera - to be specific, Sony DSC-P92. Small camera and takes a great pic. The original shots come out at list 36 inches by 24! Huge pics with great detail.
