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!

914's are not as common in Florida as they are in California but whenever I take my 6 or my 4 out for a cruise I always get comments from people or I get into a conversation with someone. It's really funny sometoimes. I get people in vehicles slowing down to say, "Nice car" or someone at the gas station will start asking quesitons. Kids especially love 914's. They always say, "Cool car". I had some kids in a school bus in front of me writting notes on pieces of paper asking questions about the car. The 914 definately has more respect today than it ever had.
