OT.. Major 914 haters seem common Options

[buhs914]

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..

People are simply jealous of the 914.

They are too scared to own one, and do what it takes to make it reliable, fast, and handle well.

I can tell you from experience, since I am still technically a 20 something. Most of my generation thinks Porsche is badge prestige instead of engineering and racing prowess.

I get more respect for my 300whp daily driven 2001 GTi with power steering and AC. That car clicks of mid 12's all day with zero traction in 1st-2nd gear.

People here 914 and their eyes glaze over.

If everyone had 914's would we like/want them?


That's a big no here, I like being different. When I told a bunch of folks they were like Ewww and that made me want it more.
