Having owned, driven, and raced newer Porsches, I received quite a bit of flak when I got my 914 itch.
Yet, I feel vindicated at virtually every event. In our local San Diego PCA region, the "Top Time of Day" autocross trophy goes, over and over, to Steve Grosskemper in his 914. That's against GT3's, Ferrari's, Lotuses, everything. At the Porsche Parade, again the 914's dominate over and over (Mr. Dave Darling, awesome). At the local concourse events, 914s routinely win trophies (Hooray Andy!) The mechanic who maintains my cars, Mike Mulligan of MRD Racing, is Chief National Scrutineer of PCA racing. He races 914s and a 914 is his daily driver. The 914 was the honored car at Amelia Island concours, one of the world's most prestigious concours events. My parts supplier, Tom Gould of TC's Garage, is a long-term 914 owner, driver, and aficionado. Margie, a local PCA member and former Porsche factory race driver, drives a 914. Nearly every time I drive one one my 914s for more than two miles, I get kudos from random people. From an aesthetic standpoint, the 914 can't be beat. So, for all the times that 914s have been maligned, I feel vindicated over and over for my love and appreciation of 914s. They are simultaneously one of the most amazing cars ever designed, built, and functioned. Others, including Janis Joplin, can keep their 356's. Other than the dollar value of a 356, I'll take a 914 any day, on all fronts. OK, back to your regularly scheduled programming. |

Funny. Yesterday I came home and realized I had to run out & grab some Milk.
It was nice enough so out rolls the LE and off to the local market. As I was leaving the Albertson's near my home I notice two guys in the far empty parking spaces standing next to their shiny 997 and Cayman talking. I fire the mighty teen and arc past the two as I leave ... The look of surprise and appreciation on their faces as they looked and waved made my night. |
