Just got back tonight from our 8 day vacation in San Diego area. We put over 890 miles on the rental car. We spent many hours on I5 between Solana Beach and Anaheim and driving all over the city of San Diego and did not see one 914, what's up with that? I seen many a 911, 928, 944, one 968, 550 spyder (kit car I think), boxsters and we passed a new Cayman, but not one 914.

I do have to say I have never seen so many f'n Mercedes and BMW's in my life. Every other car in the road was one. My wife's Uncle lives in Solana Beach and I see why they don't want to leave. What a beautiful area, we would move in a heart beat if it wasn't for the fact that you can't touch a house in that area for under 800k that wasn't a fixer upper

Anyway, just you So cal 914's where were you hiding?

It was too hot to drive a 914 this past week. They were all resting in garages.

BMW 3-series = West Coast Camry. No one can afford a house here, so they spend it all on tasty cars instead.

8 days isn't long enough to see one. I see maybe one 914 per month on the road here in the SF Bay Area.

There are 914's here, we just disguise them as Mercedes's and BMW's.
