I'm wondering how often most of you see 914s driving around.
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I have only seen one, and that was years ago. At least the people around me see one often! |

Other than a Porsche club events, I probably see 2-3 a year here in Chicagoland, (but only in the summer).
Any 914s driven year round in our area have fallen prey to the tinworm many years ago! |

I'll see 1-2 a week. Lots of them out here, some beaters, some real nice.

Between Long Beach and Huntington Beach, I see a couple every week; usually cruising Pacific Coast Highway. Met a 14 owner at the Ananheim Porsche show who lives in nearby Seal Beach who has 914; a neighbor has one too.
I think there are a lot out there that are hidden in garages. Go on your local Craig's List ( do a search) --you might be surprised how many 914's get listed. |

I've seen 4 or 5 at the monthy car gathering in east Cobb. Other than that I've seen only a couple on the road in the last few years.

You West Coasters suck.
In the 18+ months I've had my 914, I've seen one other "in the wild" - geniusanthony's "chromesicle", which I've seen at least twice. Neither time was I driving mine, however. |

In my small town of Georgetown Ky, I have seen a nice blue one a couple times. Both times when I wasnt driving mine and going opposite directions. However a friend of mine and his Dad in neighboring city of Lexington each have one.

I generally see 4-5 per month while driving around and not at car events. It surprises me how many are with in a couple mile radius of my house.

About 2-3 times a year not including shows, they are a rare sight!

Not counting when I see Joe's car, there are several of them in the York PA / Baltimore MD area. I see probably 10-15 a year.

Never any unless there is a local event that draws then out. There is a cool green one that must live close to my place. I see it a couple times a year during the summer.

Saw one the other day. I see them once on a blue moon. So I find excuses to drive mine all the time (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I know where I'll find one parked, but other than that I'll see maybe 1 or 2 a season (excluding PCA events).
It is kind of saddening though. I've never actually seen another 914 on the road when I'm in my own 914 (again, excluding a PCA event). |

There are quite a few here in the Portland area. Here's one my son Taylor took a pictue of here in the parking lot of Albertsons. Same Alaska Blue as the one I'm working on right now, so it looks like I'll have a twin.
