Got me to thinking about a t-shirt a friend bought me, "My other Porsche is a Volkswagen." Always brought a smile. He had a 944 and, oddly enough, got a few snubs of his own.

That's awesome. I've often wondered if the 924 crowd suffered like we did. A green-blooded Audi with the engine at the wrong end? Surely there were protests.

To be honest, I had very mixed emotions the day a 930 turbo driver gave me a wave. Kind of felt like by being welcomed into the club, I was being kicked out of a better one. I kind of liked being the red headed step child.

Ha, maybe that 930 owner was me, 1st love 914, 2nd, the 930… there are a few of us on here that have both. Funny thing is I spent a lot of time on the bird 930 forums, especially before the big run up in 930 values. They were(are) a lot like us, shunned from the elitist 911 and 356 stock or concourse crowd, because of the quest for more power (mods), also race enthusiasts, many appreciate the mid engine layout as a superior platform. Lots of them had or wanted a 914 to tweak…

I don’t think PCA as a national club ever shunned 914s, they’ve never turned away any of my dues, but unfortunately it’s always been individual snobby members that that scoffed the 914 - F them.

Well, the 930 driver was a quite attractive woman which only added to my emotional confusion. And just when I thought a 930 couldn't look any better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Shocking to learn about the shunning. I always thought the 930 was maybe just a half step below the 959 at the pinnacle of street Porsches.
