Good sense of humor.

A lot of us can relate.

Solid, but too bad the author didn't have a '74 with seat belt ignition interlock... another whole dimension of anti-theft security!

So this is what I get to look forward to after I get my brakes refurbished, gas tank cleaned and installed, fuel lines replaced, new tires, engine rebuilt and engine/transaxle installed?

Very funny article. My car has a side shift and it’s pretty hard to find gears. I can only imagine how bad a tail shift is. Who uses Mobil 1 in their 914?

True that!! no one could write that without having owned one. Today’s young theft would fall into deep depression five miles down the road! Good find Franz (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

That was all so true. My wife is always busting my chops because I leave the keys in the car when it's in the garage. She says it will get stolen. I tell her none of these young thieves could drive it (she can't drive it either). Not only does it have a steering wheel, it has a third pedal and shifter with an unusual pattern.
Funny, all my kids and grand kids are experts at using a gaming controller and make the characters spin, jump, kick, hit, flip and shoot while pressing 100 buttons at a time; but three pedals, a shifter and a steering wheel defeat them.

Now that is funny and true. Plus those same kids/young adults can tell the rest of us how the world should be ran.
