My 1st Porsche was a 1976 orange 2.0 liter that I drove across the Atchafalaya basin freeway in Louisiana at 120 mph before my buddy got pulled over from a police chopper. Hehe. Took her to a couple of Porsche Parades. Autocrossed the heck out of her. Unfortunately, that car was a nightmare rust wise and bit the dust, but was my entry into the Porsche world.
I’ve had a few 911’s but ventured back into the 914 world with my 71 914 project that I shared here on 914 World. Spent way too much money on the car (way past 6 figures) but loved every second of it. Still visit this forum all the time and watch the 914’s for sale on BaT religiously along with other websites. Am I a “914 guy?” Love you all…. |

Does that qualify? |

Does that qualify? Well said, they were similar to being the red headed step child. Even now, we are second class to many "real" Porsche guys.
