Well, I finally made the decision to purchase a 914. Well, it was actually a quick decision made because the engine in my daily driver ('90 Acura Legend) took a crap and I need something to motor 5 miles down the road to work every day. Brad pointed my towards that amazingly original '70 914 1.7L that was in the classified, so I went to see it and drove it home. I must say, this is one of the most complete, unmolested cars that I have seen in a long time. I didn't even know that there was a blue light that lights up when the fan is turned on...I wish my 912 was that nice. Just for everyone to know, I am not going to chop, cut, or otherwise change any part of this car...it will stay as original as I can keep it.

The best part is that my fiance likes the car and enjoyed driving up in the hills with it earlier today. Heck, she even drove it a bit herself which is a giant leap in the direction of her soon to be realized addiction to Porsche's. I just wish the spring would come so we could have some get togethers.

For a car that is original, with no sway bars and no suspension upgrades...it drove quite nice in the hills. Granted, I wasn't pushing my brand new car that hard, but it kept up...it only has a 1.7L!! The engine actually pulls quite nice and will work well to and from work every day.
