Hmmmm, with conversion to a "6" plus significant other 911 parts - suspension, crank fire, electric AC, LED lights, other stuff, say 60%. But driving fun is plus 200% evilgrin.gif

Yup, easy to remember, was the 46th car of 1975 model year, built in 74.

Posted by: 76-914 Feb 23 2021, 11:15 AM

Hell no. I've even traced it to the build date; twice! And forgotten it both times. av-943.gif

Odd, but I know my NYS license number for some unknown reason

Posted by: bdstone914 Feb 23 2021, 05:29 PM

Hell no. As Einstein said ther is no need to memorialize anything if you know wher to look it up.

Posted by: mepstein Feb 23 2021, 05:47 PM

I have 5 914's and probably owned about 20 others. Unfortunately, the vins all start with 47 sad.gif


If I tried to remember my vins, it would probably displace what little remains.

Sold due to my divorce. 5,143 miles on the odometer.

I’ve heard the new owner may have reset it, with an all new story as well...

Posted by: VegasRacer Mar 29 2022, 09:35 PM

True Story: I went to my installer today to make an appointment to get a replacement spare tire mounted and balanced.

I answered all of their questions about the tire and wheel I planned to drop off.

They asked if I could provide the cars VIN ?

I replied: "Four - Seven - Three - Two - Nine - One - . . . . "

They interrupted: "You do not have your VIN Number memorized ? ! ? !"

Me: (Big shit eating grin.) biggrin.gif . . . . . and then I started again: "4 7 3 2 9 1 0 7 8 7."

I remember my 914-6's VIN from 1985 when I sold it but can't remember my current one!

Posted by: Movin6 Mar 29 2022, 10:04 PM

Mine is a 914-6 VIN ending in 0928. Does that count as knowing? LOL

Posted by: Root_Werks Mar 29 2022, 10:15 PM

Not yet, hasn't been home long enough.

Posted by: Cairo94507 Mar 30 2022, 07:25 AM

Absolutely; it's only 10 numbers.

Posted by: fixer34 Mar 30 2022, 12:26 PM

Yep. I have a strange penchant for remembering numbers and odd alphanumeric sequences like passwords. I still remember some phone numbers from when I was growing up 50+ years ago.

Now, names... I forget them 5 minutes after I was introduced to someone, even pretty girls...

Posted by: Jonathan Livesay Mar 30 2022, 12:35 PM

I have too many.

Me too.. I can remember phone numbers from old girlfriends, but I can't remember the name that went with it.

But I still remember the name of the most important girlfriend I had.. I eventually married her.

Give me a minute.. Old what's her name.... Oh Yea... @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=3255

Yep, and the chassis number, and the number under the dash (which on mine is very close to the chassis number but not identical), and the paint code.

Posted by: Bullethead Mar 30 2022, 05:55 PM

I know all of our Porsche VINs but mainly just the last three or four digits: 098, 247, 484S, 1396. (911T, 356S, 911S, 914/6)
The rest of the garage not so much. And usually only remember about half my driver's license number... Online CC purchases? Thank god for autofill. wink.gif

I think I remember it, wait what was the question?

Posted by: 930cabman Mar 31 2022, 05:02 AM

Years ago I was able to remember numbers, think drivers license #, but these days I have a hard enough time remembering my 6 grandkid's birthdays.
