So I'm in the 914 today, driving on the interstate, doing 68-70. I notice that a '90s era Civic has been hanging at my 7 o'clock for more than a few miles. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
As he draws closer, just about even with my door, I see that the two guys in this "riced" Civic coupe are high school/college age. Then the passenger draws his cell phone and (I'm assuming) shoots a pic of the 914. Then the driver boots it and quickly accelerates away. I'm guessing that they may not have ever seen a 914 before. As much as I am on the road, I have only seen 2 914s on the streets this year so far. Come to think of it, the cars that were contemporaries of the 914 are pretty scarce as well. I don't recall seeing any Vegas, Pintos, Mavericks, Fiat 850s, or Alfa Romeo derivatives. TR-6s, X1/9s, MGBs, C3 Corvettes and '70s Jaguars, though not commonplace, are seen with a frequency that the 914s appearance cannot begin to approach. As a type this (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif) , I realize that I've seen way more Ferrari 308s on the street than I have 914s. There are probably a few people out there who have no idea what kind of car that we are enamored with. That's just as well (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Paul |
