My son is a Life Scout and expects to make Eagle in a year or two. The agreement I've made with him is that "we" will start shopping for a 914 the day following his Eagle Court of Honor.
Not for him, but for "us." Ever since I was 15, I've wanted one. I owned a '77 924 for quite a while, but it didn't do it for me. Gotta have a 914. What am I getting myself into?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) |

I hate rust.... QUOTE(Tom @ Nov 22 2011, 04:58 PM) Binford, I also live in Port Orchard and have a 914 taking up space in my garage. Several of the PNW guys have seen my car and you are welcome to discuss it with any of them. If you want pics, send me your e-mail address and I'll send some to you. better yet, come on over for a look see. I live out toward the PO airport. Tom Hey, Tom! Ya know, I've never seen a 914 around here. Weird. (Though I have seen my old 924 around a time or two! It's the white "Champion Edition" with red and blue racing stripes and three black hood stripes, if you ever see it around town.) I live out past McCormick Woods; between there and Sunnyslope, near where they are wanting to build the 2nd high school. Wait, you're not selling your car, are you? It might be fun to bring my son out to look at it, though. Mind you, every vehicle I own now is a 4-wheel-drive. That M715 was so tall it was hard to climb in to! So my mom get's a new(er) Toyota and asks me to sell her old Camry, so I give my son, Nick, a ride home in it from school. He's amazed at how low the car rides! When I tell him Vacca said his seat is about 7 inches off the ground, he thought that was the coolest! He is absolutely stoked about this deal we have (to buy the 914 when he gets his Eagle), so I'd love to fan the flames with a visit some time if you're good with that. Meanwhile, shoot a few photos my way! timulator at gmail dot com. Stay dry! |
