not really a big deal, but driving the 914 with the top off to grab some pizzas for the wife and kid made me think of how much i love driving that car and how much i owe this club for helping me keep it running.
oh, and got a return wave from a sharp little blue 9-eleben with a tail... across the highway median even!
I wonder how many (new) 911/boXster owners know what a 914 is?
I know the feeling. I had not driven mine since June when we started the conversion from the 2.0 four to a 3.0 six in June. Today was the first time I got to drive it. WOW!!! what a blast. We took it to Burger King the long way and turned a 15 minute ride into an hour. I am still on cloud nine. What a difference. Of course we also put the 911 suspension and brakes on it too. Now I have to learn how to drive it all over a gain. It is a different car.

Mine gets honks now from 911's. Real 911's that is. I don't think Boxster owners know that we're related.

Took mine out for a drive today after finishing a bunch of work on her.
I tell you, I don't think there is another car I'd rather have.
Fun, fast and stealth. The sound of the engine behind my head, the exhaust note. ahhh
Even had a late speedster 911 flash his lights at me.
That felt good...
Took mine out for a drive and a fillup two days ago after a year on jackstands. When I pulled into the gas station/convenience store a little girl about 10 years old rides up on her bicycle and stops next to me and stares at my 914 for a few seconds then blurts out, "I'm taller than your car. I can't believe it. I've never been taller than any car. I'm taller than your car. Wow! I really am. What kind of a car is it?" I told her it was a Porsche 914 and she says, "Cool! I'm taller than a Porsche 914!" Then heads off into the store. I guess it was an educational experience for both of us.
I was coming back from the store to get some "Tomatos" (I have to have them or YOU will die kind of thing) and got totally blown away by a brand new Ferrari F40.
That felt good...

Pizzas also do well in the rear trunk as it's always a bit warmer back there!
