Hey Kent,
Click the '914 Info' link on the top right of your screen. From there you click 'members vins', then can add a VIN.

Added it to the database ...

Thanks!

Oops. I saw that Jason but thought it was only for our personal teeners. Thanks Andy. I left a note to see if it was for sale so l'll let prospective buyers know the outcome. Kent

Looks like a decent car to begin with.

California buyers are spoiled

I just have to say this.

You walked onto some strangers property, snooped around and took pics of their car including the vin, posted it on the internet, all in the hopes the stranger that wasn't home could be talked into selling his known recently running driving good condition car to somebody else on the internet?

Not cool dude.

It's totally fine. My 914 get's looked at no matter where it is. Plus people take pictures. The Vin is info available to anyone who looks at your car. There is nothing wrong with adding the Vin to the 914 database. Just let's us know how many are out there. Nothing sneaky about it. I've left my car on many 914's. Just to see if to see if they want to meet up. Talk cars or get them onto 914world. Nothing malicious in any of it. They call if they want or they stay in there little bubble. I'm not offended either way

Slow it down, dude, posting a VIN on the internet is not like posting a social security number. Your car's VIN doesn't have credit associated with it, and it can't really be stolen for any gain, unless it is a highly sought after car. This one is not. The car was parked right off the sidewalk, not really too deep on public land. If it were my car, I would take no offense to this post.

I'm about as security conscious as any; however, I always get a kick out of those who cover their license plates or worry about VIN's.

Every day you drive your car your license plate is viewed by untold numbers of people and captured on multiple security cameras, etc.

Your VIN is easily viewed any time you park your car.

That being said, I would be upset if someone walked up on my property. We Southerner's are very protective of property rights....must be something that came about from carpetbaggers and scallywags

It used to be in California...not a carpetbagger state...that you could find where someone lived by their license plate. The DMV changed that when a stalker found out where a famous actress lived and then shot her.

So I have some trepidation about posting my license plate.

Your address is also seen from the street and many people can see it, but very few including myself post
it here.

I'm not into cool; just 914's and folks who drive 'em.

Posted by: Chris914n6 Dec 2 2015, 05:41 PM

REALLY?

You guys have no regard for private property or privacy?

This isn't a 914 in the wild in a parking lot. This is trespassing and blatant disregard for the owner's right to be left alone.

Kent didn't say he left a World/Rennlist/Club/Pelican invitation b-card. He did say he left HIS card asking if it was for sale, but not for himself, but to advertise the car here on a whim one of us might go after it. All ASSUMING the unseen owner MIGHT want to sell.

I sure as hell wouldn't want some self centered complete stranger trying to sell my no-indication-its-for-sale car on the internet without out my knowledge or permission.

Lastly, Kent, after all the help I gave you with your A/C questions... back at you

Best comment on this thread.

I have dogs for a reason, and it isn't just to make me feel smarter.

When I first saw this posting. I thought the same. ..why in the hell would someone simply walk on to someone property and take a picture of there vin...my thoughts are "IF" I wanted to, I will provide. So trying to be "cool " is simply wrong. Some folks say how about your license. ..by law you have to have one, I don't remember seeing a law requesting one to provide the car"s vin on the web.

I put myself in the shoes of the 6' 7" Russian Trucker that just got in after 13 days on the road, hearing something outside while putting his boots in the garage, on his way back to a lingerie clad anxious woman. I wonder how he will react when he opens his door and sees you leering and photographing his stuff.

Russian truck drivers driving 914 and other things home....just picturing this ...
