The first couple of paragraphs are amusing...I guess he doesn't like 914's....or 996's

I've exchanged emails and messages with Jack Baruth many times over vintage Japanese guitar stuff, but never met him nor spoken with him,seemed like a decent guy.
His dogging the 914 smacks of wine and cheese automotive editorial elitism, not auto enthusiast or someone that appreciates vintage cars. Go Don Rickels on the 914, there's gotta be a MPG Award in there somewhere. Besides rarity what makes a 356 Super so much better of a performance car than a '73 2.0? OK it was hand built by Teutonic elves and all, but what about on the road, which is a better car? I'll take your raised pinky and up the ante with grease under the fingernails. He's right about the 996, and might as well throw the Boxster under the bus too. Either one of those cars won't ever be collectible |
