What made you want to get a 914?
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I will start.

I had friends with 911 and I got a 911. When I spun a bearing in my 73 911 my car was in the machine shop in Burbank, CA I went there for lunch on a regular basis.
One of the friends of the owner had a factory real 914-6 with a 3.0 in it. This was back in 1978 and this was not the norm for 914s

Well this friend gave me a ride back from the restaurant and I noted not only how his car seemed faster than my 911 but he was going around 50 miles per hour and he made a right turn. I thought we would crash but instead his car in Slot Like form just made the turn. Like on Rails like a fast ride in Disneyland.

After that I always wanted one. And when someone stole my 911, I got my first of many.

Owned a Euro Spec 914-6 while stationed in Italy overseas I could not bring back, owned a 1970 VW bug, owned a 2000 Porsche 996. I wanted simple and fun with my 914 again. Granted, many years have passed since I owned my 914-6 in 1990.....but traded wanted some of my youth back. The 914 checks all the boxes for me and fun box also. For speed, I have have the custom SC Stang pulling 750HP. With the 914, not about speed, comfort....just a feeling. Hard to explain. Time machine for me. Funny thing is mechanics forgot how to work on older cars now.
