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.

Way back in early '70s after I got out of the Navy I Autocross'd a Gremlin X V8 in E Stock. Did well with it but the fasted Bad Ass Car was a 914-6 that was in Modified set up for Auto X. It was what I really wanted but could not afford. Then there was a Girl Friend with a 914-4. Sold the Gremlin and I bought a used 72 240Z. I wished I still had one but were do you find one these days in decent shape. So, I bought a '68 AMC AMX it.Years later I bought anther 2 seater that I still have, a '68 AMC AMX two seater. and it's a Show Car. Still wanting a true Sports Car I saw a '74 914-4 a few years back, all the stars aligned, and I finally got a Porsche, the one I always wanted. It far exceeded my expectations, had some of the better qualities of all the other cars but is Unique and in a Class of it's own, IMO. It's more fun to drive than any car I've owned not the fastest, not a daily driver for me, it's 100% for fun, it always makes me smile, never disappoints.
