today was a 914 day ..., some good and some weird ... Options

[SirAndy]

1) so, i'm at the DMV this morning getting my registration up to date and taking care of the warrant for my arrest (don't ask!) ...

when i walk out, a guy comes up to me and asks:

"Does it still have the original engine in it?"

i reply: "it's a /4, not a /6"

he: "Oh" turns around and walks away. huh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) whatever ...
then, he gets into a ratty old VW-Rabbit! WTF? and he's *snobby* about my car!?! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif)


2) take the car to the car-wash in berkeley on telegraph.
when i pull out, there's another 914 in the lot!
i stop and talk to the owner (eric, IIRC), nice red '73 2.0L
he knew about the board but didn't know about the WCC,
so i invited him over for the AX on saturday! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)


now all that is left to do on my car for the WCC is to brake into my rear-trunk!

A guy that I talked to yesterday guessed the year exactly. First one to get it right.


A few weeks after I bought the teener I went to an auto parts store and picked up some oil and a fan belt. They guys behind the counter comes outside and says "That's a Porsche? I thought it was a Fiat". Ouch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) He did admit he's never seen a 914 before.

A week ago I was parked at a diner and while I was getting in to leave a woman nevt to me asked what kind of car it was. I said it was a Porsche 914. She said it was a beautiful car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
