O/T life is weird, Is the Carrera GT the fully evolved 914??? Options

So for my day job, I work for an airline, yes that’s odd enough, but sometimes it takes odd twists. My trip is rescheduled abut 4 times leaving me to catch a shuttle the company arranged for to drive from LAX to San Diego. Getting in after 2AM. Long day.

So they have me in the back and I start talking to the guy next to me. The subject of cars come up. Well of course we had to talk about the 914. Showed him a picture and the effect was he was awestruck. Mentioned that he always wanted a Carrera GT. He pointed out something I hadn’t really noticed before. The 914 really looks similar. I had seen the car up close and never made the connection on the styling ques. But then he showed me a picture, and it all was so obvious to me.

Really nice dude, lives in LA and I invited him to stalk us here. @jim_hoyland apparently he lives near you. Told him you might be able to get him a ride in one. Or to just show up for one of the drives in the are to at least get a good look at one.

Meanwhile, after all the excitement last night, I get a call from crew scheduling letting me know there’s a big storm that they think will affect operations out of JFK, and my flight is canceled, so
I’m going home early. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

...and then there is this limited (25 made) Gemballa "Mirage" version with rooftop air inlet. Our neighbor Ben up the road had a blue CGT Mirage, and took it with him couple years ago upon his move to Manhattan, N.Y. I really loved to hear/see it move spiritedly through the 'hood. He did wreck 2 of his previous supercars; Veyron, Lambo. See next post on how he "Modified" his CGT/ Mirage.
