So my roomate is having a dinner party (as I type this) and I see a guy drive up in a Porsche 911 cabriolet. Im not sure what year, but its a late model, maybe 2002.
Anyway, my 914 is parked out front (I keep a cover on it, but anyone in the know can tell a 914 even under a cover) and when I meet him, I ask if he is the guy in the Porsche I just saw. He says in a smug rich person nasal whine "Im afraid so, ha ha ha". Not funny. I then say, "Cool, I also have a Porsche, a 914, it has the cover-" and before I can even get the sentance out, he cuts me off, saying in that same tone "yeah, I gotta get rid of it before my kid wants to drive it, ha ha ha". I didn't press the issue, as obviously the idiot didnt know anything about 914's or he would have at least paused and raised an eyebrow at the mention of the numbers. He never even looks me in the eye, much less acknowledge the fact that I too drive a Porsche. What a jerk. I am so proud that I drive a 914 if for no other reason I don't have to deal with people like this. Im know there are cool 911 wasser-pumper owners out there, but this guy wasnt one of them. Thanks for letting me vent. Attached image(s) |

Here in Shaker Heights, you get a Saab or a Porsche when you move in...I think it's a law or something. I own each, and have ALWAYS owned Saabs. I STILL wave at older 900s, and 99s when I see them on the road...but that's more for the 'wave' thread on the bird-board.
914: I've had people in 993s not wave back, and people in Turbo 996s get off at an exit with me to talk while I was getting gas. I trade waves with a 356 every morning, and even had a guy in a new Carerra GT ask me if I wanted to race. (With a wink.) There are all kinds...it's just a matter of the dick-hole driving it. |
