You should probably have that looked into.

Oh yeah? Well the Camry Hybrid has a sweet guage which tells you what kind of fuel mileage you're getting. :lol:

Shut up.

It made good power (though unimpressive for an engine that size),

Who else had a 253 hp 3.5 L V6 in 1999?

Prowler all the way.? All of them are style over performance, but the prowler has the most style.

They seemed to have held their value well.

SSR, for the 6.0/6spd drivetrain in latter model years.? Otherwise they can all go burn in the Pit.

The Prowler. I'm sure I could find a way to fit it with a manual gearbox.

I would like to change my vote to the SSR.  It has a manual.

The Prowler, I think. You can get V8 conversions, yes? I'd need my purple people-eater to make lovely noises going up and down Rundle St. on a Saturday night.

Open wheels FTW!





My friend's dad with the RT/10 also has a 6.0 SSR. Made for a schweet lookin garage. I wish I would have taken my camera along for the 4th.

Depending on price, that could be a good deal.

I saw a blue Prowler at lunch with the front bumpers removed. *Drool*

P.S.  We need a DROOL smilie.

They are all shitboxes, but at least the Prowler looks good.

I always thought the Prowler got a bum rap. It was never supposed to be a sports car... it's a look-good cruising machine, and nothing like it was built by anyone else in the modern era. I would LOVE to have one.

I'm really surprised that Ford never created a supercharged version of the motor since it shares so much in common with the AJ V8.  The car could have been better, but in all honesty, I would probably pick a T-Bird over a first gen Audi TT cabrio.  I hate to say it, but if I had to rank them, here's how my preferences would go:

1) Prowler
2) Thunderbird
3) SSR

The SSR is just too big and bulky for my tastes, even with the more powerful engine.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

She'll hate diesel passenger cars, all things Ford, and fiat currency.  They will masturbate to old interviews of Ayn Rand an youtube together.
