Knowing that back in the 70's when 914's were being sold and driven as daily drivers, I am sure there were those that drove them in the snow and ice during the winter months.
That being said ......is there anyone out there that used/drove the 914 in the Snow and snirt? Curious as to what they handled like and if they were a good winter car. I have owned a few older beetles and Corvairs, these cars were very good in the snow and with a gas heater option you would never have to worry about being cold. Never have had the opportunity to try a 914 in the snow, bur I bet it would be quite a rush.... |

My 914 saw 5 years of winter use when I bought it in '86. It was my only car, saw me through
college. Never had an issue with driving. It was quite a blast back then pretending it was a Stratos in the Monte Carlo. I used to just let some air out of the Tyres and go. Mind you if it was above the hood line all bets were off (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |
