914 stories Options

[Ace Le Count]

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?

It was a dark and stormy night and some friends and I were going home from a party. I was alone in my car. They were speeding of course and so was I. The had left a few minutes before I did and I was quickly catching up.

We used to use a logging road that went across town with a bridge. We used to drive this as you could easily drive around the gate and it was in good condition.

It was railing and I was going a little fast. As I was catching up to my friends at a high rate of speed, I say the tail lights tun to the right. I quickly realized that I was further down the road than I realized. I tried to slow and make the turn but rain had created some puddles and I lost traction and went into a spin. I spun at least 6 times, but I was no longer in control.

I wound up in a ditch tat about a 45 degree angle with the nose pointed up. The motor has stopped. I know I had just wrecked my pristine black 73 2.0l. I was sick to my stomach. My friends came running back to the car as they had seen the "headlights, tail lights, headlights, tail lights action and was sure something bad had happened.

They took me home.

The next day we all went back to check out the scene of the accident. For some reason my car was on the inside of the corner not the outside as you would thing inertia would have taken it. It was then that we realized there was a big oak tree just past the apex of the corner. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I Call it divine intervention but I was somehow spared from my own stupidity.

The icing on the cake- the 5 of us lifted the car out of the ditch and I only had a ding on the right rear quarter panel that a local body shop was able to able to pop out for $50.
