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.

I hate to admit it, but it was the typical midlife crisis. I really like my wife, so I got a car. I wanted a simple and cheap car that was fun to drive. It had to be a stick shift, and I wanted one I could work on, even thought I don't know much about cars. I wanted to learn, so I asked a friend and he had one, so he recommended it. He also helps me work on it.

When I brought it home, my lovely wife looked at me and said: "It stinks, it's ugly, it's a piece of shit and I hate it", then turned around and walked in the house. She's warmed up a bit since then. My goal is to get her to ride in it with me.
