Brave New Teener World, Back into public Options

[StarBear]

As I'm getting more comfortable with coming out in public during this pandemic thing, I've been experiencing a Brave New Teener World. 914s are getting almost all the attention!
Went to an informal concours - only about 30 cars and mine was the only 914. The color (Zambezi Green) set it apart from the sea of black, silver and white Porsches. All morning there was a stream of folks looking/asking about it, so got only a few minutes to check out a fabulous 968S Guards Red special edition. The young folks were especially interested in the teener -- and the 2017 GT4 (no shame there!)
This morning went to a Coffee & XXX event with about 6 other Porsches; same thing. Most of the younger folks had either heard of, but never seen, a 914 and the others hadn't heard of nor ever seen one. First question was usually asking "What color is that?" Told them that while there are a few around here in Northern NJ, they're seldom seen "in the wild" very often. They chuckled.
Might get myself, and "Frogger" out a bit more now.

I'm experiencing the same thing. My Boxster's PDK pucked it's electronics so I have been driving the 914 daily for the past 2 weeks and evreytime I stop anywhere it gets attention. At a stop a young kid shouted out "COOL CAR!", stopped in a strip mall and came out to find 2 people standing by it talking. One lady told me she used to drive a 914 in college and wishes she had it back. Drove it a C&C and I stood by it for over 90 mins talking to all that gathered around it never having an opportunity to even go in for a cup of Joe, nor look at any of the awesome cars there that morning. Makes me want to buy another one before it gets out of control, oops too late.

ALASKA BLUE! My (second) favorite 914 color. With beige interior should look fabulous. A thread a while ago about an Olympic Blue (my third favorite color) and a white interior - stunning!
