Please show us all of those years of saved and hard earned money you have put into your 914 ! Please remove all manuals or notes, and only leave in the receipts that are involved in your car now, yes, including oil, or trans. fluid, if you'd like. So, if you use your car cover, and the receipt is in the pack, leave it. I sold my re-built 2.0 , so I took out the receipts for that and the muffler, for example. I also sold the 73 parts car for my conversion, so any receipts that came with that car are VOID, unless, the parts are on my car now, like the re-built transmission that came with it, or the racing seats for example, leave those receipts if the parts are on your car now.......then, once you have cleared out your non-sense brochures or receipts, than measure with a ruler or measuring tape. Let's see who's got the biggest stack.
Looks pretty thick, but then.... it only measures out 1" !!!!!!! Approx. $30k spent(including 2.0 though, and conversion). |

I'm not sure what people would think if they new how much the stuff in and around my shop cost. A 97 1 ton crew cab chevy flood truck I bought in 98 with 22k has never moved and I gave 11,500.00 for it. I've already sunk another 4k in it. What a flood car lesson. One day it will make a trailer hauler but right now a 3/4 surb. does fine. The 914 project is already at about 9k or more and I haven't turned a wrench on it. I'm too hard headed to let any of my projects go even when they are finished. It's getting to where I am having trouble affording good paint for all of them.
I buy insurance on 5 cars and my wife only drives one of them. I probably only drive about 7k total a year in all of them. I hide the receipts for peace in the house. I tell my wife at least I don't drink, gamble or smoke so she's lucky. When someone asks me how many guns I have I just say not enough, it's the same with motor vehicles. |
