I know I liked these cars back in 1986 ( i was 16 yrs. old). I wanted one bad because I always passed a house that had a few in the driveway, one in the garage and one on a trailer equipped for racing. I believe it's still there, in South San Jose by Oak Grove High School.
Anyways, I just took the next step in my illness where I saw something that wasn't there? It was funny after but I could have sworn it was there. I was in a meeting at work with about 9 Engineers and a few Designers. I was reading a text message from my wife on my phone and thats when it happened! She was talking about a gym membership and a "diet", All I saw was "djet". I text her back asking her what "djet" had to do with the gym? She text back saying I was an idiot and she said "diet"! I started laughing out loud for what had happened, needless to say I interrupted the meeting and the Engineering Director asked me if there was something I wished to contribute to the project? "Uh, no there wasn't"! It was then I came to the realization that I had a problem; Hi, my name is Drew and I'm a 914 addict!

I knew it from Day 2!
Day 1 was spent driving a TR6, while I was on a waiting list for an orange 240Z. I absolutely loved the TR, and will have one someday, but my feet were on fire after driving it for 30 minutes! Then, one day 1, I got the call from the Datsun dealer that a blue 240Z had come in & had my name one it. I repsonded by saying that the car I ordered was orange. Was told that I had to take what was in stock, or go to the back of the list. And this was from a family friend! Told them to stuff it (maybe NOT in those exact words), and went off looking for aports cars - any sports car, I was now 25, with a pocketfull of cash (good old days), and went to a place in Cincinnati that sold really cared for sports cars (Ralle Motors). They had a 72 Irish Green fiur banger. with about 2500 miled on it, for $3500. Drove it, loved it - cancelled the 240 buy. Was ready to but it, butfound out the warranty wasn't tranferrable. I knew it was meant for me, so I went to the Porsche/Audi dealer & bought my 914. The second new car that I have ever owned. Wish i still had the first! P |
