Am i the only one who noticed this phenomena? I always see people on forums bashing the 914 with insults like: "it's a slow crappy car" or "it's hideous" or even "my Honda Civic is faster than a 914". Comments like those make me want to bash some skulls (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) or at least show up the Civic dude in a race haha. i think that it's just plain ignorance on their part, but it still aggravates me..

I really dont see any possible way to compare a classic car with a honda/toyota/nissan.
Its really two different worlds. To take a 5k-30k car and throw all those mods at it....then you end up with a car that will never go up in value (rare exceptions Im sure...) that is just a stupid car to compare a 914 with. Compare a honda/toyota/nissan to the dodge/ford/gm mini cars...or even a bmw mini....but not a classic car. We compare our cars with MGB's, TR6's, Fiat's. etc all from that era. We compare our cars with 911's... The Honda/toyota/nissan guys have their clubs, but your vintage club will come get you at night in the rain when you break down...their club will laugh at them, text message them, and keep playing video games while the guy on the side of the road is left to fend for himself.

Bingo! Part of it is the understood reality that older cars will eventually break, sometimes at inopportune times. Combined with the limited number on the road and the love / fanaticism / respect / ability of those in the collective 914 world to see that as many remain drivable and that most everyone driving one is a genuinely good person, you wind up with owners willing to travel distance to come help or assist remotely in diagnosing your problem from multiple states away. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) A toast to fellow 914 owners! |
