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. ![]() |

I was there yesterday and a gentlemen asked why a 914 wasn’t on display. They said the 914’s, 924’s, 944’s, 968’s were not covered and they have 914’s in the vault.
He also mentioned that the 914’s are leaving the vault in the next couple of days. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) 914’s aren’t on display because there is another special vault for these cars called the Porsche rust effect (drumroll). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Ok, I have nothing it is too dang hot man. -Ed |
