I am mystified why Porsche made the decision NOT to design the 914 body with a fuel door to make fill-ups more convenient. When the '64 model of the Type 356 debuted, they bragged about the improvement of it having a fuel door. Six years later, when the 914 debuted, no fuel door, and we have been lifting our frunks at the gas station ever since (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) A step backward in my opinion.

Not only does it mess with people because you are putting gas in the front of the car, but it also screws up the car 'stacking' in the multiple pump islands if you are at the front pump. Have to be careful the SUV that pulls in behind you doesn't hit the rear bumper.

Yeah; here in NJ one can't pump one's own gas, so I play with the attendants (particularly the younger ones) as they look for the filler door then eye me as I come around and open the frunk. Most ask questions and some even take photos as it seems that teeners never come around to gas stations around here. One fellow even pulled off the road to swing by to say "I used to have a 914 - haven't seen one for years! Nice ride!" then drove off. |
