Stave off boredom with these pretty pictures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Still bored in the house? All quarantine long we\u2019ve been bringing you regular moments of zen<\/a> in the form of some of our most favorite motorcars from around the Turo marketplace. We like cars, you like cars, so let\u2019s look at some cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet the Plymouth Prowler, one of the weirdest and most interesting cars in recent memory. Chrysler (Plymouth\u2019s parent brand) was on a roll in the \u201890s, churning out successful designs from the Viper<\/a> down to the PT Cruiser (that\u2019s right, they sold over a million PT Cruisers). That confidence led to this two-seat retro-style roadster that\u2019s so radically niche that it\u2019s incredible it was built at all. With its aggressively sloped body, open front wheels, and protruding bumperettes, the Prowler\u2019s funky, cartoonish design pays homage to the American hot rods of the \u201850s. It\u2019s impractical, ridiculous, and a bit tacky to some, which are exactly the qualities that make it so much fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David’s 1999 Plymouth Prowler (Las Vegas, NV)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

David\u2019s 1999 Plymouth Prowler hides all sorts of enjoyable details, from the pinstripe accents on the exterior, \u201cPlymouth Prowler\u201d emblazoned on the rear bumper, and the excellent Prowler logo on the steering wheel, seats, and even the engine \u2014 a 3.5L V6 that makes 253 horsepower. Some enthusiasts look back at the Prowler as an amusing but flawed experiment, but its reasonably tame power and automatic transmission make it fairly straightforward to drive for the rest of us. As David notes in the listing\u2019s description, if you\u2019re wanting to turn heads on the Las Vegas strip, this might be the best vehicle on Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
