914World.com _ 914World Garage _ got zoomed and my car was parked

Posted by: scott thacher May 12 2005, 12:10 PM

today i was talking to a new snobby neighbor, well his bmw suv got dinged and it was in the shop. i was talking to him about the 914 and said when i was in cali i was playing with 911 and they where getting passed on the track. when i said this his ride showed up in a new 911 ( not sure of year or model ) and i said if i was not having issues with my car i would go play with him. well his buddy heard this and as he was pulling away he was reving his motor to 5k or so just so i could "hear it "

nothing like not even starting the car and making a 911 owners penis shrink

I'm so proud of being a 914 owner. ohmy.gif wink.gif biggrin.gif smile.gif cool.gif laugh.gif

I'm not so ego driven as much as I just want the best handling, lightest car to put my motor in.

Great story.

I washed all the shit off my car the other day, and there was a group of three cute 17-18-19 year old girls washing a car in the stall next to me.

They kept looking around the corner, one at a time, then I look up, and they are all standing there.

I smiled, and said, '..and the top comes off..".. and they giggled, and said, 'Really!?"..

It's alot of fun owning a 914.

Rob: First welcome to the Garage.
Second, no we are not. Try this for an attitude test.
Take the 911 out for a drive and wave at all Porsches (including those made by VW).
Now do the samething in your teener.
I personaly wave at all Porsches no matter what car I'm in.
Lots more laughs that way.

I'm not a button pusher but it sure feels good to see someone with money flustered just cuse I'm there.

I love it when girls are checking out my car... I just wait for the oportune moment to say.. "Now, I think i'll take my top off"

I was getting in my car to go home from work, and there was a bunch of teenagers (keep in mind im 18..) looking at a car from a distance... One of them asked "what kind of engine is in that thing?"
"350"
"OOOOOOHHHHHHH" in the gansta fashion...
they all gathered around the car... At this point I started it and let it idle.
One of them asked to see the engine and they all agree'd.. Still sitting in the car, I popped the lid, Another loud "OOOOHH" arose... this went on for 5 mins....
Some of them wanted to go at it, and I said that i only race on the track.
biggrin.gif

I love my car.

some of 911 bashing I see as joking, and some of it I see as the 914 owner having a napoleon complex biggrin.gif

as to the "wave" or "blink" even in my 911 it's a rare occasion by another 911 driver...

Posted by: Eric_Shea May 12 2005, 04:26 PM

Hang in there gang... there will come a day when you'll all be wishing they (the Porsche community) would bounce us back into obscurity. Teeners are already approaching a $6-7k "average" for a good car.

I love my taildragger.
I love my teener.

A lot of 911 guys can be... well, different (not all, there's a bunch of good ones... look for good). If you look at the reasons for purchasing a said Porsche automobile the reasons would be different. I think this "fundamental" is what creates the gap. This is a group that basically likes to work on their own cars and has many "issues" to deal with. We take humility lessons daily (often from one another). biggrin.gif

Porsches are very cool cars... check your "Napoleon Complex" and your "Ego" at the door and let's have a brew beerchug.gif

Posted by: scott thacher May 12 2005, 04:28 PM

well first of all i never said i could beat his car, just said i could play and there were 911 being passed on the "track" by 914s. i just think he needed to prove his modern water cooled was better than my 30 YO porsche at least he thinks his sounds better. little does he know i have a modern water pumper too.

rob, its not about 914 vrs 911 its not about cars at all it is about the attitude. the guy decided he had something to prove instead of saying something like it needs a paint job, or damn what year. this guy bought his car for the little dick syndrom because he wanted his impressive car, it could be a 57 t bird and i would look at it the same way but he wanted his PORSCHA. and the fact that he thought i was insulting his car he HAD to prove it was better is not my fault

Posted by: Reiche May 12 2005, 04:35 PM

Yes, the NARP complex. Here's my most recent story:

Went out with a bunch of strangers for a mutual friend's birthday. One of the guys there drives a nice 911SC. Our mutual friend mentioned (in hopes of starting a conversation) that I and my brother are into Porsches. He asks what kind, she says "914."

End of conversation.

Good thing she didn't say anything to the Boxster owner who showed up later.

Actually, he was pretty cool, but 914s never came up. He passed me on the road the other day (happens a lot in my diesel Benz) and waved.

Sorry I love the 914...
but I've got to agree with anthony on this one.

A 911 can be FAST.
A 911 can kick a 914's butt... and vica versa depending on size of motor and driver skill

yet I still sold my 911 to fund my 914 because that is the one I like most (and could not afford both)

I didn't do it because the 914 was faster.

Posted by: scott thacher May 12 2005, 05:55 PM

well first i need to say...i never said the 914 is better than a 914... i said they were passing 911's but there were some very fast and powerful 914s that day.

Last night I spoke to a 911 owner in the church parking lot, I approached him and said nice things about his light blue metallic SC a very beautiful car with the turbo look and he started telling me how he has been tracking the car with the local club. As we spoke he pointed out to me some cold start problems he was having and I started making suggestions to the cause and fix to his problem, He responded how do you know about Porsches, I told him I have a 914 with a turbocharged engine like his in it, His jaw just about dropped he didnt know much about 914s other than he knew my car is lighter and must be a monster.
We exchanged business cards and I had an email from him this morning.
I think 911 owners get it. Newbies dont.

Posted by: anthony May 12 2005, 07:17 PM

As we all know there are many different types of Porsche owers. There are the DIY types, there are the track types, the AX types, the concours types, and then there are the types that bought their car because it's a status symbol and the only PCA events they do are the 'how to wax your car' tech session and the wine country tour. By and large though the Porsche snobs are far outnumbered especially if you are talking about aircooled Porsches. Newer Porsches will obviously attract a much different crowd that has a lot of money.

Go read the 911 Bird board if you want to see a bunch of hard core DIYers and track junkies. The high degree of technical knowledge there is amazing.

Posted by: Brando May 13 2005, 01:03 AM

the NARP syndrome is predominant in people who actually KNOW what other models Porsche made (read: rich old-old fogies). Those who apprecieate the off-production Porsches probably owned a few smile.gif

Ron Snellgrow is one such guy in this area. Owns a 356 B Coupe. Owned a 73 914 and a 78 911SC. Now he just has his volvo and his 356... flashes, waves and flags down any other P-car he sees to shoot the breeze.

Being new to the bay area and a first time 914 owner (finally smilie_pokal.gif ) I went to a local posche shop looking for parts. The guy came out to look at my 914 and proceeded to enlighten me. "The car is in really good shape, but it's only a four. You should sell it before you waste any more money. Here is a 911 I will sell to you for a song $8500, before I put it on ebay tomorrow. How much do you have for a deposit?"
The 911 is still there and that was 6 months ago.
I love all porsches and it took me nearly 10 years to get a 914. This was my passion.
As far as the shop I went to I wont bash...S-Cargo in Marin...Asshole finger.gif

Hey Leo, pleasure to meet another local.

I've lived in Richmond twice. My first house was in the Annex off Central Ave. Then, before I bought this place, I rented out at "the Point".

I try to avoid Marin. I had a Maserati Biturbo (lemon alert-lemon alert) and welll....... I just don't want to think about the mechanic I found over there.... It's all good now. biggrin.gif

there's a dude selling his teen in Marin right now. He posted it on craigslist for a long time, Big price. Then he discovered 914club. His price has dropped drastically after a reality check.

Love to see your ride if you've got pics???

Posted by: LuckieO May 13 2005, 02:05 AM

I own a 911 and I am sad to say that 911 guys are often pricks. I think that the love of the car, the love for the men who created the VW and then the Porsche , is not really there with many of the people who own 911s, 993s, 996s and the like. It is more about the prestige of owning a Porsche. Obviously, there are many exceptions to the rule as well. But, I will say that the people that I met at the WCC, people who own all different types of Porsches, were a really great group. Really, just a bunch of people having fun with some of the best cars on the planet!

I will quote "Wow, this is nothing like any PCA event I have ever been to!"

No offense to the PCA, but I have never met so many great people at one Porsche gathering!

And oh, how I do love the 951...

i drove my dad's 964 for a year and a half and the one thing i noticed is that the folks driving the newer porsches didn't wave, flick the high beams, nothing!!!! the people in the older "purist/enthusiasts" cars waved or knew to flick the high beams....it's really disenchanting to see some people buying the mark as a status symbol and not as emotional heart-felt purchase! but, i guess i have a weird view of porsches

Why do you guys care? IMO, a new water pumping Porsche barely qualifies as a Porsche anyway. A new 997 costs $90K+ out the door - what kind of people do you think are going to buy those cars?

I hang out with 914 owners, and 911 owners as well. For the most part they are no different. Some are cool, some are not, but they all love cars.

The exception to that is:
when I go to lunch or whatever with a bunch of 911 guys, they all throw money in when the bill comes and there is too much so the extra has to be divided up and returned.

When I go out with a bunch of 914 guys, the one who gets stuck with the check counts up the money and it's $50 short and he has to cover it. I've seen both scenarios three times that I can think of right now, twice the guy who got nailed with the bill and had to pay the difference is someone on this board (at Chilis and hooters). I won't name names, but the good guys' initials are Brad and Skline.
They paid the bills and didn't bitch cause they are like that. Me? I'da bitched til the cows came home.

I learned that when going to a social function with a bunch of 914'ers, always ask for seperate checks wink.gif beerchug.gif

The difference here is what I'd call "car people" and people that just buy cars that happen to be Porsches. Car people tend to like and appreciate all kinds of cool cars even if they settle on one brand/model to own. People that post here are car people, people that buy new Boxsters and 997s aren't necessarily car people. Don't feel bad if they don't wave.

I love a teener, I'm a bit of a purist (come on, a radiator? WTF??) , but my sisters new Carrera is A BLAST to drive, The Boxter looks like it would be a ball, Hell, I just like a nice automobile.

What makes a water-pumper Porche owner different from a Chebby owner is that the Porsche owner has A HELL OF A GOOD [modern] CAR (no matter what the person is like). mad.gif

The 914 was the first car that I ever recognized. I saw one when I was 14 and wanted it immediately. I got the book "Porsches for the Road" and dreamed about that white 914 for two years. Then my parents picked up a 1978 Mustang II (pinto) for $600 for me. I loved that car and forgot all about 914s and P-cars in general for nearly 20 years. I have owned 5 Mustangs during that period ('65 coupe, '66 conv, '84 hatch, '92 coupe). After I sold the '92 I started wanting a sporty car again and was dead set on an X 1/9 until the X guys all told me how hard they are to keep running and find parts for. I started actively looking for a Fiero. My boss, (a Boxster owner) told me to buy a Porsche, any Porsche, so I started looking and found that most of the classics are very affordable. Drove a 944 n/a and was very impressed. Bottom line, I love cars. I flash my lights at any car that I respect. (regularly wave to a guy with a trashed, multi-colored TR-6). Can't we all just get along?

I am on the main route to food, from Roebling, and for the first time, I am seeing weekends where 1-2 914s, and 5-6 911 with meatballs pass the shop..

A couple 911 guys have stopped to look, and once one of them even acknowledged the fact that they parked next to another Porsche, with a "Hmm.."..

That's alright, I still got my guitar... -solos-..

I hang out with 914 owners, and 911 owners as well. For the most part they are no different.

Yeah, me too and neither group likes us. laugh.gif

Are you trying to say rust never sleeps?
