Faced with competition from the new Polaris Rangers, Arctic Cat has redesigned their Prowler series to be one of the most powerful ATVs on the market. While the original Arctic Cat Prowler was mediocre compared to the other high end vehicles in the market, the new Prowler includes an engine which puts all other vehicles in their place. The new 951cc H2 V-Twin engine gives the Prowler enough power to pull heavy loads even on hills. Along with the improved power, the Prowler also features a higher suspension, 10 inches, and shock absorbers which allow for much smoother driving.
The Arctic Cat Prowler isn’t your average vehicle. Because it’s produced by Arctic Cat, one can expect top of the line performance. However, it goes beyond that. The Prowler is bigger, badder, and much more powerful than the average ATV. In fact, the vehicle itself is more the size of a tractor than an actual ATV. However, don’t be fooled just by its size. This vehicle is able to accelerate quickly to more than 50 miles per hour with its fuel injected engine. The body suspension and enhanced steering allow the rider to easily navigate through any type of terrain. The combination of its size and performance make the Arctic Cat an extremely versatile vehicle. Whether one is planning to climb uphill for recreation, or pull heavy weight for work, the Prowler can effectively handle any type of situation.
Along with the hidden power inside its mechanics, the Arctic Cat Prowler also proudly sports 14 inch steel rim wheels along with a 550 Flat Bed. With these wheels, the Prowler can easily go on rough terrains, making any place accessible. The flat bed itself is a great feature for any farmer or adventurer. Able to carry more than 600 pounds, the flat bed is a useful tool when traveling with a heavy load. Because of its powerful engine, you don’t even have to worry about being slowed down by what’s in the bed.
Another great feature about the prowler is its stability and smooth performance. Although the engine has enough powerful to propel the vehicle quickly, it produces an extremely low amount of noisy. You could almost say the Arctic Cat Prowler purrs when it’s running. Also, the handling is smooth enough that one wouldn’t realize they’re driving a vehicle weighing half a ton, even around the turns.
The Arctic Cat Prowler is a spectacular vehicle. It has speed, power, and performance worthy of its title as a high end vehicle. Because it was designed by Arctic Cat, you can also bet that the vehicle is guaranteed to satisfy. For a modest price, the Arctic Prowler provides quite the enjoyable ride.

Arctic Cat Prowler Review
August 29th, 2009What Happens When you Travel Australia in the Summer
August 29th, 2009First things first: summer in Australia is the direct opposite of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Yes, you heard right. In Australia, summer actually happens from December to February. Which means Aussies celebrate their Christmas at the height of summer. Which means they get to do more things they otherwise couldn’t do if they were in the wintry, arctic regions on the Northern Hemisphere. Blessed be the Australian summer.
But watch out: the Australian summer can be very hot and unforgiving, but this is just fine as long as you keep a handy bottle of sunscreen with you and arm yourself with a good pair of UV-proof sunglasses. For Aussie families, summer generally is the time to hit the beach and frolic in the waters. Summer also marks the mid-year break for students; instead of springbreak, they enjoy summer holidays or Christmas holidays. And for backpackers who roam and travel Australia, the Aussie summer can be a liberating experience. Even businesspeople who like to keep busy with work even during the holidays prefer to leave their freezing homelands and travel Australia to seek its cosy warmth.
Before you get any misplaced ideas about Australia as being just pure hard summer, you have to realise that Australia is such a large country that each region experiences different weather patterns. Up north where the tropical rainforests reign, it’s mainly high temperatures and high humidity and distinct wet and dry seasons. In the centre of the country, where the Outback sprawls, it’s dry, desert regions with high daytime temperatures and occasional bursts of rain. In the south are the temperate regions with moderate rainfall and temperatures ranging from hot to cold.
To travel Australia in all its entirety is to witness nature’s awesome and breathtaking display of colors, heat, frenzy, and vibrance. It’s a land of extremes: one moment you could be enjoying a runny pistachio ice cream under the scorching sun, the next, you could be snuggling tight with a loved one under the velvety pouring rain. There’s no perfect weather in which to travel Australia. After all wherever we go, we all bring along with us our pieces of sky and sun and climate.

Travel To South America: A Land Of Immeasurable Majesty
August 28th, 2009South America is a continent of extremes, and there is not just one, but thousands of reasons to explore the human and natural wonders of this remarkable landmass. South America’s expansive human history is visible through some of the best preserved ruins in the world. The fusion of Spanish, Portuguese and native cultures is evident in the distinctive art, food and music of the 12 independent countries.
Though it was the last continent to be inhabited, South America has a long and delicate history of flourishing indigenous cultures before European arrival in the 16th century. Archeological sites in Peru reveal the practice of human sacrifice and other perplexing traditions by the Moche people who lived there 2000 years ago. South America’s most illustrious ancient people, the Inca, held their capital in modern day Cusco and sprinkled the Andes with remnants of their terraced farming and architecture. Machu Picchu, at 7,710 feet, is the best preserved and most breathtaking Inca town, well worth the 4 day hike along the Inca Trail (the less eager can opt for the train ride).
The Sky is the Limit
When it comes to breaking records, South America is the place to see. The massive north-south continent is spread through nearly every climate zone imaginable, which makes for very dynamic travel. The world’s highest water fall, Angels Falls, cascades over 3,200 feet in Venezuela’s Canaima National Park. The Amazon River, which winds across the north through Brazil, is the largest river in the world by volume while the Amazon Rainforest is the largest existing rainforest. Travel along the Andes, the world’s longest mountain range but make sure not to lose your way in Chile or you might end up in the driest place on earth, the Atacama Desert. Catch your breath at 3,600 meters while visiting the highest capital city of La Paz, Bolivia. Then, gather your arctic gear and head south to Ushuaia in Argentina, which is – you guessed it – the world’s southernmost city! Along the way, stop by the steppes of Patagonia, which happens to be the cleanest place on earth aside from Antarctica. South America is also home to the stunning diversity of Darwin’s Galapagos Islands (Ecuador) and the most remote island on earth, Easter Island (Chile) with its mysterious stone head sculptures and an inexplicably large population of Pacific Islanders.
South America also offers the comforts and luxuries of modern metropolitan life in any of the countries you choose to explore. Pick up the pace in Brazil’s bustling Rio de Janeiro or immerse yourself in the cosmopolitan chic of Buenos Aires, Argentina, while still gaining an appreciation for the past in these remarkable historic cities. From big city life and resort towns to tropical rainforests and mountain peaks, there is no better place to embark on your world travels than South America, a true melting pot of culture, history and geographic phenomena.
