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 |

I took my 914 to the Petit Lemans at Road Atlanta in late September. We parked in the Porsche Corral and I had many great Porsche people come over and tell me how much they liked the 914's. There were also several other great 914-6's the "4 Grins" 914-6 was a perfect car.
Anywho I got to run two laps with the Porsche Club on the track on Friday, 4S 996 Carrera in front of me and a Turbo Panamera behind me, the old girl held her own just fine. when we exited the track up the steep hill some smart ass yelled to me "Get a real Porsche". I ignored the buttwipe and thought to myself, I just had two laps on Road Atlanta with the top off and you are walking up a hill, "kiss my ass" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif) You know what I mean. 914's Rock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Vysoc (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) |
