Trying to help a single mother who is being badly ripped off by "Strictly German" in Pasadena CA. They have had her car for over 6 months and nothing has been done. Her budget was $800 when she brought the car in.
What makes this a horrific story is that she is a single mother with three sons. First son suffers from severe Hemophilia A with spontaneous bleeding and is legally blind. Second son suffers from epilepsy with nocturnal seizures. Third son is ok. This car was their only mode of transportation and would have been used for groceries, etc.. They do not have a car and must take buses and walk. She is a brilliant sculptor and is barely making ends meet. The only wish she has is to have her 1975 Porsche 914 repaired and running. Her story is truly compelling, and deserves to be made into a film. I can't tell you how many times her Hemophiliac son has cheated death. Just incredible story. Her name is Jessica and her sons are Leonardo, Brian and Vance. They live in Arcadia, CA. If there is anybody in the 914 community that can help or offer some sort of lead to fix Jessica's car, please contact me. My name is Nick and I can be reached via email at: nigolusa@icloud.com, or my cell number (626) 979-4230. I am a family friend and have sacrificed so much for them. The 914 is a dream I cannot fulfill since I am unemployed. Thanks all for your help and resources. Attached image(s) |

Ya know, after reading all the disappointing comments from Porsche 914 owners, the best course of action is to forget about 914world altogether. This was a big mistake. Happy motoring!!!!

Nick, for someone trying to do a good thing you give up so quick. People here have questions, no big deal just questions. you have been offered a ton of help, but you have to take the bull by the horns to make it happen. I am sure you know somebody that has a house that you could haul the car to, set up a BBQ work party and the car would be running on a saturday. this could and would happen with out any sad story behind it. it has happened numerous times in the past. Now the issue whether the car is right for Jessica, my vote is no, constant dependability is needed for her children's care. I have a child with special needs and would never take the chance that 914 wouldn't be able to take her to her therapies and such. your previous post about the same car, do put a negative light on this though and you probably need to be straight with the non-members here. I believe you will be surprised at the turn out once you get this organized |
