914 Graveyard-Could we add to the forums?, A place to honor our deceased 914s Options

[KL6024]

I have read several/many posts especially recently of crashed, totaled, parted-out and rusted away 914s. In many cases they hold many fond memories for the owner(s).

Idea: It would be great to have 1 spot where we could post the pictures of our deceased/long departed 914s to help us through the grieving process, and maybe add some new emoticons (flowers to place next to the pictures for example). I think we can make it funny too. While I have been able to find pictures of the "deceased", they are scattered in posts and under the VIN registry. If someone already suggested this than I am just writing to endorse the idea!

Thanks for the group's consideration!

Could we give it a try for 6 months and see what the response is? It completes the spectrum of information on the site, from factory pictures where the car is being built, to the 80's, 90's and now, to those that either had rust issues beyond repair, to those that saved the occupants even though the car was totaled.

I don't think it's negative, I think it's a great way to remember the cars that we can no longer work on, that had memories for us, and to share the memories with other (oh jees, there I go again...tears...).

It doesn't have to be so serious, as much as just a spot to post the pics.

Antique Automobile is full of rusted bodies rotting away in some North Dakota field. At least we would be paying respect to them or just saying "Man I wish I had been the original owner who insisted that the brand new 914 couldn't leave the dealership until the battery was relocated to a dry spot in the car, and had Ziebart applied".

Thanks for the input-let's give it a shot!!!
