I went out to the mailbox this afternoon to retrieve my daily dose of bills, credit card offers, and other junk mail. As I walked back to the house, I started going through the pile. Well, when I got to the item below, I stopped and smiled.
How many people remember the eBay 914 parts ads with this model? Better yet, who remembers the effort to chip in to buy nude photos? Ahh...those were the days when the 914 community would come together for a worthy cause. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Our parts who...er, model now graces the cover of the Penny Saver.  |

The Pennysaver reminded me of being in college on Long Island and combing in the car ads and being first to look at a 2002 or a 914 or a TR6. My best friend Danny and I would buy and sell cars every summer, keeping select ones (my Signal Orange 71 1.7 liter among them) for ourselves.
Or, bringing the midnight shift guy a bagel and a cup of coffee to get the first copy of BuyLines straight from the printing plant. Sometimes so early that we'd call people at 10 o'clock the day before it came out. Maybe even driving into Manhattan to buy the inner sections of the Sunday NY Times on Saturday night (7PM in Times Square). Vendors would be amazed that we didn't care if it even had a front page. We'd pore through the Sports section (car ads in the back) and start calling. Back in those days, traveling to Westchester or NJ was a big deal, after all, why bother when clean cars could be had within a radius of 30 or 40 miles? Now, I'm in Michigan combing the web for a car and looking at roundtrip plane fares! Things have definitely changed... AND The cover of the Pennysaver never looked like THAT! biz |

Yep, you are correct Brian . . . he had a ton of 914s. He always had a v8 and a /6 for sale . . . we almost bought a /6 project from him.
