There are basically 2 kinds of 914 owners. Those that have been towed and those who have not been towed, yet! So post your pic's here with an appropriate quip. I didn't get pic's from my first 3 tow's but I did get the 4th one. Amazingly enough, I was passed up (ignored if you will) and left stranded in the parking lot by (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) 23 other teeners whom I had just had lunch with. Friends (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
 Did I mention it was a 70 mile tow on the million dollar hiway in a truck that could not go over 35mph or the front end would shake badly. But this little guy, Fritz, (the drivers sidekick) made the ride much better.  |

On the way home from Hershey, I peeled away from the southbound caravan with Scotty, Jeff, and Bo at Gettysburg. Stopped in for a beer and a Fire Jumper Burger and headed home, whereupon I promptly developed a flat tire.
No spare. Because a beer cooler is considered essential for Hershey, but a spare tire is not. Luckily, I have AAA Plus. They brought Babydoll back on a flat bed and we pushed her into the garage, since4 apparently the fuel pump is not running now too...  |
