Why a 914?, and not some other sporty car Options

[Jaiden]

I've been dreaming about getting a teener for months now and my fiance has asked me.... Why do you want a 30 year old car instead of some other sporty car like a MR2 or a miata. For a second I didn't know how to answer and was thinking that the later would be alot easier to get parts for and cheaper as well but would not have the same CG and polar moment as the teener.

hell I've never even been in a 914 so I can't say it's how it drives. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

So why did you chose a teener over another car?

First saw one when I was in highschool. Worked at a gas station pumping gas and a guy came in with a blue one. Thought, cool looking car. Fast forward a bunch of years and I was looking for a Moke for a summer car. Rented one in Barbados for two weeks. Asked a buddy who buys and sells cars if he runs across a Moke to let me know. He tells me that he just bought a 914. I told him when he gets tired of it to let me know and we will talk price (he looses interest in a few months with cars) Three or four months go by and I see the buddy again and ask how my Porsche is....he says he sold it to someone in Calgary and I give him shit for not letting me know first. He says he knows where two more are and gives me the details. It was a buy two make one deal. While waiting for the title for the one with the good body. I see one on Ebay and bid. A week later I'm flying to the West coast and driving home thru the mountains with the top off. With a big grin on my face. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
