When did you know..., You had the "Teener" addiction? Options

[montoya 73 2.0]

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! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welcome.png)

I was hooked as soon as I laid eyes on the first 914 I had ever seen in my life.

I was out looking for a used Datsun Z car. I pulled up to this guys place (I had all the Z cars circled in the Auto Trader I'd bought) and saw this UGLY, boxy looking orange car from the rear. "What kind of car is that?". Guy said it was a Volkswagen/Porsche and it was for sale too. I immediately took it for a test drive and after just one right-hand turn pulling out of the driveway I was already rationalizing it. "Well, you can't really see the orange color when you're driving, and I don't know what a 914 is, but it suurrreee drives nice, and he said it was a Volkswagen so surely it can't be too hard to work on or find parts for".

Never did test drive that Z car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So; I was hooked at first sight and already rationalizing it within about 5 minutes. I bought that car in May of 1985 and met Clay in November of that year. We drove to our wedding in it. He (the car, not Clay) is sitting in the garage just waiting for the weather to clear so we can go driving together. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving-girl.gif)
