Does anyone have some crazy 914 stories that they'd like to share? Maybe your son/daughter was born in one? Maybe you drag raced someone that was getting cocky because they thought their riced out civic was faster? Maybe you used a 914 as a getaway car after you robbed a bank? How has your 914 saved the day?

My second story: New from VA to NJ in 1974 and driving on snow. Going downhill and lost traction. With the car's great middle Center of Momentum, spun slowly about 359 degrees; didn't even veer out of my lane. Took the next double jughandle U-turn, headed home and got a ride with my neighbor. A surreal "and what's happening to me?" for 10-15 seconds!
