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?

Part 3 (last one)
Had the -6 a couple years and started dating this young lady in the spring. Summer came and I asked her if she wanted to go with me to visit my family on one of the afore mentioned trips to Eastern NY. Same plan, leave late afternoon, drive all night stopping only for an hour or so, and arrive next morning. We stayed a week, and during that time also drove over to Boston and up the East coast. Lots of seat time in the 914 and no complaints from her. I was thinking she might be 'the one' and this pretty much sealed the deal. The day we were planning to head back, I proposed. (we had been dating all of 10 weeks...). She said Yes, (maybe wondering how she would get home otherwise..) and we drove all night talking about our future. We got married the following year on the anniversary of our first date.
She knew how to drive a stick and is the only one who has ever driven the car alone since I've owned it.
In a couple months, it will be 40 years ago; I still have both the lady and the car.
