A friend and I took a trip to the Petersen Automotive Museum to see the year long installation entitled The Porsche Effect.
Lots of really COOL stuff, but as it seems with most Porsche associated displays, the 914 had no effect. The only mention was on a column in the center of a stairway which listed both the 914 and the 916 along with the other enumerations. The only other items I could find were some laminated advertisements which featured the bastard stepchild along with other aliterations of the marque. Don't get me wrong, it is a great collection of equipment you may never see. I love the Carrera 6, the 910, the 917 and the 917/30! But again, I became aware of that outsider feeling I had for years. It was on the ride home that I began to change my attitude, I began to realize that any of our cars that are not on jack stand, "living and breathing" 914's are being driven, and driven hard by owners who love there little mid-engined Porsches. As for me I wouldn't give up driving my car for a year to put it on display for others to see, they can just try to catch up to me in traffic, take a peek and give me a thumbs up. |

Been planning on doing that along with a trip to the Reagan Library- and will have to hit the Porsche Experience Center on the way back to AZ...
Hopefully this fall when back in AZ- back in IA for a while and that's a little more road trip than I'm interested in right now! Have the Parade coming up in early July! (Going back to Tan Tara as I was there for the Parade in 1983!) |
