The past few months I have been working on our 914s for Okteenerfest, this started to churn in my head. It started when I heard the song it is based on while listening to the radio, and part of the chorus popped in to my head.
And yes, I did sing it. I was a bit "lubricated" at the time. I edited it to include the two new verses. Enjoy!! =================================================== NineFourteenerVille - Sung to the tune of Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet. (Verse 1) Adjustin the park brake Watching the rust flake Heat Exchangers are covered in oil UPS drop ships On my front porch step Boxes of parts to continue my toil (Chorus) Wastin away again in NineFourteenerVille Searchin for my lost CV joint bolts Some people claim there's a woman to blame But I know... It's nobody's fault. (Verse 2) Blew out a brake line Cruised through a stop sign Called Triple A, had it towed on back home Sanding the fender Replaced the oil sender On this rusty old sports car that helps me hang on (Chorus) Wastin away again in NineFourteenerVille Searchin for my lost CV joint bolts Some people claim there's a woman to blame Ya I know... It's my own damn fault! (Verse 3) Got out my jack stands Came up with a new plan Bought me a welder to fix all that rust Way down in the hell hole Almost lost my soul I’ll make this car better or I’ll go bust (Chorus) Wastin away again in NineFourteenerVille Searchin for my lost CV joint bolts Some people claim there's a woman to blame Ya I know... It's really her fault! (Verse 4) Don't know the reason It kept it running all season First time it's done that in so many years But you know the clutch cable Will end up on the table These damned 'ol Porsches can leave you in tears.... (Chorus) Wastin away again in NineFourteenerVille Searchin for my lost CV joint bolts Some people claim there's a woman to blame Now I'm sure It's her damn fault! =================================================== For those of you who don't know this, my wife, Betty, had her 914 when I met her 33 years ago. So the end of the last chorus is dedicated to her. |

Next verse:
I got out my jack stands Came up with a new plan Bought me a welder to fix all that rust Way down in the hell hole I nearly lost my soul I’ll make this car better or I’ll go bust Here you go @ClayPerrine I got inspired and finished the last verse |

I don't know the reason
I kept it running all season First time it's done that in years But you know the clutch cable Will end up on my table These darn 'ol Porsches can leave you in tears.... |

If y'all keep this up, we are going to have more verses than the original song.
